India became the world's largest milk producer (> 140 million tonnes in 2014-15), outstripping the US almost 15 years ago. India\u201fs milk production accounts for 18.5 % of global milk production, with most of it consumed domestically. India accounts for < 1% of global trade. The per capita availability of milk in India stands at 289 g per day. Backed by strong domestic demand, the per capita availability of milk is anticipated to reach 336 g per day in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \r\n

Growing at about 10% annually, the Indian dairy industry is predominantly controlled by the unorganised sector, which accounts for nearly 85% (ASSOCHAM). About eight crore rural families across India are engaged in dairy production and the rural market consumes over half of the total milk produced. Indian dairy sector is growing at 4.5% annually. Uttar Pradesh (23.33 million tones of milk), Rajasthan (13.94 million tonnes), Andhra Pradesh (12.76 million tonnes), Gujarat (10.31 million tonnes), Punjab (9.71 million tonnes), Madhya Pradesh (8.84 million tones), Maharashtra, Bihar, Haryana are the leading milk producing States in India for the year 2015.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \r\n

In 2020, the milk production in India is expected to touch 191 million tones. The market size of dairy industry in 2010-11 was \u00a02,92,067 crore, which is expected to reach \u00a07,10,596 crore in 2017. The Non-fat dry milk (NFDM) is expected to touch 4,89,000 tonnes in 2014. Combined butter and ghee (clarified butter) was expected to touch 4.88 million tones.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \r\n

India has some excellent breeds. Among cattle, the Sahiwal, Rathi, Gir and Red Sindhi stand out as milk producers; for buffalo, the pride of place goes to the Murrah, Mehsani and Jaffarbadi. India has the largest cattle (185.2 million, 2.1 kg dairy yield\/animal that contributes 38% of total milk production) and buffalo population (97.9 million, 2.6 kg dairy yield\/ animal that contributes 54% of total milk production) in the world. Out of all bovine population in India, 40% are indigenous cows, 46% are buffaloes and 14% are imported European or North American cattle crossbreeds (6.9 kg daily yield\/ animal). Indian average milk output per milch animal is just 1380 lit. vs. 2350 lit.\/animal\/year for world average. India has 50% of the world\u201fs buffaloes and 20% of the world\u201fs cattle population. More than 67% of dairy animals are owned by marginal\u00a0<\/span>and small farmers. Buffalo milk accounts for the largest share (~ 54%) of the total milk produced in the country; followed by crossbreds (24%) and indigenous cattle (22%).<\/span><\/p>\r\n \r\n

Milk production is growing 7% by volume and about 5% by value. This progress is primarily attributed to structural changes in the Indian Dairy Industry (IDI) brought about by the advent of dairy cooperatives. The market size of Indian dairy industry was US $ 100 billion in 2015.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \r\n

Milk processing in India is ~ 35% of the total milk produced. Of this, the organized dairy industry account for 13% of the milk produced, while the rest of the milk is either consumed at farm level, or sold as fresh, unpasteurized milk through unorganized channels.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \r\n

Allocation of milk for milk products<\/strong><\/p>\r\n \r\n

In India, about 60% of milk is consumed in liquid form, while the remaining 40% is used in the form of butter, clarified butter (desi ghee), cheese, curd, paneer, ice cream, dairy whiteners and traditional sweets. Of the milk produced, 40% is used or consumed on farm and 60% is sold. Of the milk sold, 70% goes through unorganized sector and only 30% via the organized sector.<\/span><\/p>\r\n \r\n

About 50% of total milk produced in India is converted into traditional Indian dairy products.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n
