India targets over 3% rise in milk production during FY11

Press Trust of India / New Delhi March 01, 2011, 18:04 IST

The government targets to increase milk production by over 3 per cent to 116.2 million tonnes in this financial year to match the demand and supply of the vital food item, Parliament was informed today. The government has set a target to produce 116.2 million tonnes of milk in 2010-11 against 112.5 million tonnes in the previous year, an increase by 3.6 million tonnes, Minister of State for Agriculture Arun Yadav said in a reply to a question in the Lok Sabha.

Emphasis has also been accorded to raise milk production in eastern states like Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Assam. Experts feel that the Eastern states have "untapped" milk production potential which need to be exploited to boost volume of milk in the country. Concerned over the slow pace of milk production, the Economic Survey had last week commented that annual rise of milk production by about 4 million tonnes was not adequate, considering the surging demand and had recommended that the production must increase by 5.5 per cent annually over the next 12 years to bridge the gap. It had warned that India, which presently is the biggest milk-producer in the world, might turn out to be a net importer of milk if domestic production is not enhanced. The survey had estimated that by 2020-21, the country would require 180 million tonnes of milk.

India to face milk shortage as demand rises: NDDB chief

TNN, Feb 17, 2010, 09.49pm IST Tags:

India

ANAND: Despite being world's largest producer of milk, India will face a milk shortage if production does not increase to the level required. This is what chairman of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) Amrita Patel said on Wednesday at the 38th Dairy Industry Conference (IDC) in Bangalore while delivering keynote address on the theme "Indian Dairying Productivity and Food Safety".

"Demand for milk in the country is increasing at much faster rate than its production," she said while stressing that in order to meet the projected demand of 180 million tonnes of milk by 2021-22, milk production in the country has to grow by five million tonnes annually double than the present growth which is 2.5 million tonnes per annum. While India's milk production over the past decade has grown around four per cent nearly double the rate of growth in world milk production Patel said that Indian dairy sector has fared well in meeting national requirements compared to many other countries who continue to depend on imports.

India to face milk shortage as demand rises Our Bureau Date of posting: 05-03-10 Despite being the worlds largest producer of milk, India will face a milk shortage if the production cannot be increased to the level required. This is the message of Amrita Patel, ceo of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) when delivering a keynote address on the theme Indian Dairying Productivity and Food Safety at the 38th Dairy Industry Conference (IDC) in Bangalore recently. Demand for milk in the country is increasing at much faster rate than its production, she

said while stressing that the only answer to that would be increasing the productivity to meet the projected demand of 180 million tons of milk by 2021-22. To achieve that, the milk production in the country has to grow by five million tons annually double than the present growth which is 2.5 million tons per annum only. Even though milk production has increased steadily, demand for milk has increased at much faster pace due to number of reasons including rising GDP rate, increase in incomes of rural households, farm debt waiver, increase in salaries of government employees among others, she said while noting that, International agencies have already projected that India may have to import milk products in the years to come to meet our growing demand.

Israel predicts severe shortage in global milk production

ASHOK B SHARMA

Posted: Wednesday, Jan 23, 2008 at 0002 hrs IST Tags:

New Delhi , Jan 22: Israel predicted severe global shortage in milk production in the next three years and urged India to cooperate in resolving the emerging situation.

With a view to meet the likely challenges to be posed on account of global climate change, Israel has offered to cooperate in areas of water management, micro-irrigation projects, sewage water recycling for use in agriculture and prevention of desertification. The Israeli minister for agriculture, Shalom Simhon is in Delhi with a business delegation and had discussed several issues with the Union agriculture minister, Sharad Pawar.

There may be milk shortage in the world for more than three years, if corrective action is not taken in time, said Simhon. Noting that India is the largest producer of milk in the world, he said: Both the countries need to work together to face the emerging challenge. Israel has improved technology for the dairy sector and our Companies...

can invest in India. He proposed genetic improvement of animals and application modern dairy equipment. The Israeli delegation was on a visit to Rajasthan and found the climate there similar to that in Israel and hence a conducive place to begin their work. Israel would help India in replicating its experiences of olive and date plantation and also in other horticulture crops in desert areas. It would also share its technology of protected agriculture like poly and greenhouses....

Milk supply shortage continues in Puducherry

Staff Reporter Share print T+ T+ T-

The availability of milk and milk products continues to be insufficient in Ponlait' booths, with the Pondicherry Co-Operative Milk Producers Union Limited facing difficulty in procuring enough milk to meet the demand. Official sources said that the shortage in supply had gone up to 30,000 litres in the last few months and remained inadequate despite the onset of summer. Senior officials said that milk procurement from Tamil Nadu took a severe beating last month as milk producers there went on an indefinite strike seeking a hike in procurement prices. Though the strike was called off and milk supply resumed, it was yet to reach the normal levels. There was also a gradual drop in the amount of milk procured within the Union Territory. We used to procure 35,000 litres from producers in Puducherry. This has dropped by 10,000 litres, which was showing in the retail sales, said a senior official. People moving away from agriculture and related occupations and migration from rural to urban areas were cited by the officials for the drop in production in the Union Territory.

In order to meet the demand of 1,00,000 litres per day, majority of the milk sold at the Ponlait booths continue to be of the double toned variety which has a lower fat content. Customers said milk products such as ghee and butter were unavailable, forcing them to buy other brands at higher prices. When we buy ghee from outside, we pay at least Rs.20 extra. This puts severe pressure on our budget as the prices of other essential commodities have already increased manifold, said S. Maithreyan, a government employee. The availability of milk products also varied according to the locality. While residents near Lawspet, M.G. Road and Anna Salai said that flavoured milk, milk khoa and other products were available in the booths near them, those in areas such as Ariankuppam, Kalapet, Mudaliarpet and Saram complained of short supply. Salesmen in the booths near such areas also confirmed that they were hardly supplied one-fourth of their requirement every day and had to face irate customers. Though milk producers in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh have been approached by the cooperative to meet the expected increase in demand between April and July, there was no positive reply. Officials are hoping that the supply from Tamil Nadu would improve in April. Keywords: milk products, Pondicherry Co-Operative Milk Producers

Karnataka Milk Federation ghee shortage hits Tirupati laddu

Sunitha Rao R, TNN, Mar 3, 2011, 04.15am IST BANGALORE: You must have had a taste of Karnataka ghee in that delicious Tirupati laddu. For a short period, the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) which supplies the ghee to Tirupati found it difficult to honour its commitment. Reason: With the fall in milk production at KMF, there was a shortage of ghee. According to KMF, farmers from KGF and Kolar who did not find its procurement charges lucrative enough, began selling their milk produce to dairies in Andhra Pradesh. Milk production

at KMF declined, affecting regular production of by-products like ghee, butter, buttermilk, sweets, peda and yoghurt. KMF produces 25,000 tonnes of ghee per day and its largest buyer is Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). "We send 6,000 tonnes of ghee to Tirupati. The temple committee appreciates the quality of ghee produced. What is sent for laddu preparation is same as what is sold in Karnataka. Qualitywise there is no difference. During the period of short supply, we found it difficult to deliver the same quantity of ghee to Tirupati and production of all other byproducts was affected. KMF sells ghee to several temples and sweet shops in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu," KMF chairman Somasekhar Reddy told TOI.

India will face milk shortage as demand rises: Dairy board

Bangalore: India is set to face milk shortage soon due to rising consumption in both rural and urban areas while productivity remains low despite the country being the world's largest producer, a top dairy official said Wednesday. "We will without doubt start facing milk shortage as demand is increasing at a much faster rate than production due to rising consumption in village households and demographic dividend in urban areas," National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) chairperson Amrita Patel told reporters here. In addition to the rising GDP (gross domestic product) rate in a buoyant economy, increase in rural incomes through programmes like the MGNREGS (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme) and the farm debt waiver as well as increase in government employees' salaries from the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations are fuelling consumption of milk and milk products. "Resorting to imports to make up for a possible shortage is not a solution as such a move would spike international prices, resulting in higher import and, therefore, higher consumer prices," Patel said on the margins of a dairy conference. Noting that international agencies have already projected that India may have to import milk products in the near future to meet its growing demand, Patel called upon the stakeholders, especially the central and state governments, to implement the national dairy plan drawn by the

state-run NDDB for doubling annual growth production to five million tonnes from the current 2.5 million tonnes. "To meet the growing demand for milk, which is projected to be 180 million tonnes per annum by 2021-22 as against 105 million tonnes currently, the stakeholders have to unleash the second white revolution, as envisaged in the national dairy plan," Patel said. She earlier addressed about 1,000 delegates at the 38th diary industry conference, orgainised by the Indian Dairy Association (IDA). According to the NDDB action plan, the central and state governments will have to invest a whopping Rs.17,000 crore (Rs.170 billion) over the next 15 years to double milk production through genetic improvement of milch animals and optimal use of feed and fodder. "We will have also to invest in increasing the market share of the organised sector -- consisting of cooperatives and private players to 65 percent from the current 30 percent -- to ensure food safety and provide a direct link to milk products for securing remunerative price for farmers," Patel noted. Of the total milk produced, about 50 percent is at present being consumed by the village households, while the remaining 50 percent is considered marketable surplus. The organised sector accounts for about 30 percent of the marketable surplus. "The national dairy plan hopes to increase the share of the organised sector to 65 percent over the next five-10 years to ensure proper payment to producers and stimulate production," Patel pointed out.

Global Shortage Of Milk Supply, The Average Prices Doubled

by on Wednesday, June 1st, 2011 | No Comments

Global Shortage Of Milk Supply, The Average Prices Doubled Experts believe that to meet the global demand for dairy products, and only rely on China and emerging producing countries such as Argentina. The benefits of milk prices can increase production in these countries. In addition, the United States will become the new dairy export powerhouse. At present, the international market, milk prices have surpassed the United States over government subsidies after milk prices, the U.S. dairy exports become profitable. Over the past two years, climate change, bio-fuels industry, corn feed prices and other factors, so that the global average price of milk has doubled. In the United States in some areas, milk and even more expensive than petrol. Dairy Australia international affairs manager of Philip Gould said that this was a milk shortage in the world. Analysts believe that the biggest reason for higher milk prices, and iron ore, copper ore and other traditional commodities prices is the same reason: the strong growth in the global economy; from China, India, the Middle East to Latin America, incomes increase, so that millions of people out of poverty, among the middle class. In these areas, milk and cars, along with flat-panel TVs has become a symbol of prosperity and the well-off families living an indispensable food. In addition, milk is baby food, chocolate, ice cream and cheese the main raw material. New Zealands leading dairy company Fonterra Co-operative Group economist Alex Duncan said the milk to meet the global demands, and an annual increase in milk production in New Zealand. According to the German International Farm Comparison Network (International farm comparison network, hereinafter referred to as IFCN) data, New Zealand is the worlds largest milk producer, is one of the largest dairy exporter. IFCN economists believe that, at present, some countries (regions) of dairy shortage crisis is likely to spread around the world, so milk prices will remain high or even rise further. The milk industry in the chain are in the enterprise will not think this is good news. For example, because the prices of raw milk, even raising the price of its chocolate production, can not hindered Hershey Foods Corporation (Hershey) 2006-year profit fell 96%. The United States, Europe and Australia are hard-pressed The same for scarce goods, milk and oil difference is: you can not store them after the milk bucket. It is the perishable food products. Even milk stored, but also the retention period. Therefore, every year the worlds only 7% of the dairy products

can be sold abroad, most of the rest of the domestic market. This shows that the dairy trade is more subject to geographical constraints than oil. Chocolate manufacturers, large supermarket chains that require large quantities of milk business, often associated with dairy products, long-term contracts signed by enterprises to circumvent the sudden shock of milk prices. Therefore, the milk shortage in the past, countries have different, not all countries, consumers can feel the impact of the shortage of milk. In the past the United States and Europe has sufficient inventory cheese, butter and milk powder in other areas there is a shortage of dairy products, often imported from the United States and Europe to relieve the pressure. Present, however, stocks in the United States, dairy products, domestic consumption growth due to depletion, while the EU new member states due to the increasing milk supplies are becoming increasingly strained. Australia was a dairy export powerhouse. But successive years of drought in large areas of dead grass, the countrys milk industry has suffered catastrophic damage. Many people are worried that Australias drought is not temporary, but global warming, and its milk industry will no longer be likely to return to the past. In the dairy production rising in China, domestic demand growth even more than the output growth. , According to IFCN statistics, at present, Chinas per capita consumption of milk for more than 25 liters / year, compared to only 9 liters in 2000. Thus, while China is now among the worlds largest producer of milk out, it is still the worlds largest dairy importer. In some other dairy-producing countries, rising dairy prices prompted the Government introduced price control policy. In Argentina, the Government has the export of dairy products for their own taxes; in 2007, India has banned milk powder exports; the South African government on the countrys products to implement a fixed-price policy; Germany also pay close attention to milk and butter prices. United States and other countries, or into a market savior However, milk prices have not brought tangible benefits to the producers. In New Zealand, in 2007 the income of farmers increased by 24%. However, export growth, asset prices and farmer income, have contributed to New Zealands worsening inflation, forcing the central bank will soon be New Zealands benchmark interest rate to 8.25%. High interest rates also led to New Zealand currency against the U.S. dollar rose to the highest point in 22 years. With the New Zealand currency appreciation, dairy exports to earn foreign exchange in the currency conversion and then decreased. The export boom has

also led to labor shortages in New Zealand highlights the problem, so that labor costs continue to soar. The high land prices have also hindered the new milk producers to enter. These are obstacles to increase milk production in New Zealand.

Experts believe that to meet the global demand for dairy products, and only rely on China and emerging producing countries such as Argentina. The benefits of milk prices can increase production in these countries. India has announced that it will in October 2007 to lift the ban on milk powder exports. Some people believe that the U.S. will become the new dairy exporting countries the international market, milk prices have surpassed the United States over government subsidies after milk prices, the U.S. dairy exports become profitable. The industry believes that the U.S. Midwest and Europe could do to improve milk production, but this would require 1 to 2 years, and this implies the need to consume more increasingly expensive corn and grain. Therefore, even if the worlds milk needs have been met, the price will remain high.

Signs of milk prices firming up due a shortage in north India became evident after a state dairy ministers meet on Wednesday, with Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar doing a flip-flop on whether prices could rise. Dairies in some northern states were pushing for higher milk prices due to scarcity. O

No proposal on milk price hike: Pawar

n this, Pawar said: Unless there is a decision (on hiking prices), I do not know whether the states will be able to procure (milk) to meet the demand.

Within hours of the statement, Pawar was widely quoted as saying that milk would be costlier, upsetting consumers battling a food price spiral. Later, Pawar said all he meant was that states might have to take a call on increasing prices to ensure availability. Milk production in India, the worlds largest producer at 108 million tonnes in 2009, has been growing at an average of 4 per cent. Supply-demand forecasts for 2010 had hinted normal availability. The surprise shortage may have to do with some northern states not meeting production targets, Pawar said. The opposition slammed Pawar for setting off panic. At this juncture, the government should make statements that comforts the people. Such statements justifies price rise and encourage black-marketeers, CPI national secretary D. Raja said. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said food inflation was a matter of high concern. The government is taking all steps to control prices, he said. The Congress on Wednesday said the governments efforts to check the price should yield results soon. Party spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi, however, steered clear of a question on whether the party was satisfied with Pawars performance. I will not make any such subjective comment, he said. The government is trying but we will like to see momentum in the efforts and above all, results should come fast, Singhvi said.

The minister's disclosure came barely two days after he announced there was no milk crisis in the country and that arrangements had been made for the capital to receive more milk and milk powder from the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF). The state-owned NDDB, which operates under the Mother Dairy brand, now plans to import milk powder not just to meet the shortfall in Delhi's demand but also in other states. "Several other states like Maharashtra and Rajasthan too are facing severe shortage of milk powder," said Binoo Sen, secretary in the animal husbandry and dairy department of the agriculture ministry. With a demand of 4.5 million litres of milk everyday, Delhi has been facing a severe milk shortage for the last ten days. For the last few days, GCMMF has been supplying around 50,000 litres of milk daily to the capital to help tide over the crisis.

The GCMMF has now agreed to supply milk powder and white butter to both Delhi Milk Scheme (DMS) and Mother Dairy, which has not been stocking any of GCMMF's Amul products or taking its milk supplies for last several months following difference of opinions between the two dairy majors. Sen said the shortage in milk powder supplies were realised on August 20 during a review meeting with the co-operatives. "Our estimates show that we are facing a shortfall of around 4,500 metric tonnes of powdered milk. For some time, co-operatives in the south were helping Delhi and Maharashtra meet the shortfall in requirement," said Sen. Despite the current milk shortage, Sen expressed confidence that "our production will still remain on the top and we should be able surpass last year's production of 88 million tonnes." According to the official it is not just India but also Australia and European Union too are facing drop in milk production due to the severe heat wave.
