The highest milk producer in the entire globe – India boasts of this status. India is otherwise known
as the global dairy industry, with opportunities galore to the entrepreneurs globally. Anyone might
want to capitalize on the largest and fastest growing milk and milk products market. The dairy industry
in India has been witnessing rapid growth. The liberalized economy provides more opportunities for
MNCs and foreign investors to release the full potential of this industry.
India ranks first in the world in milk production, which has gone up from 53.9 million tonnes in
1990-1991 to 127.9 million tons in 2012-13. The per capita availability of milk has also increased from
176 grams per day in 1990’s to 290 grams per day in 2012-13. This is comparable with the world per
capita availability of milk at 289.31 grams per day for 2012. This represents sustained growth in the
availability of milk and milk products for the growing population of the country, apart from being an

The Economic Survey 2015-16 presented today in the Parliament by the Union Finance
Minister Shri Arun Jaitley emphasizes that the Indian agricultural system is predominantly a mixed
crop-livestock farming system, with the livestock segment supplementing farm incomes by providing
employment, draught animals and manure. India ranks first in milk production, accounting for 16.8
per cent of world production, achieving an annual output of 166.67 million tones.
In India, dairy business has been practiced as rural cottage industry over the years. Semi-
commercial dairy started with the establishment of military dairy farms and co-operative milk unions
throughout the country towards the end of the 19th century. Since Independence this Industry has made
rapid progress. A large number of modern milk and milk product factories have since been established.
The organized dairies in India have been successfully engaged in the routine commercial production
of pasteurized bottled milk for Indian dairy products. The growth of Indian Dairy Industry during the
last three decades has been impressive, at more than 5% per annum; and in the 90's the country has
emerged as the largest producer of milk. This is not a small achievement when we consider the fact
that dairying in India is largely stringent that farmers in general keep dairy animals in proportion to
their free crop and also are available for family labour with little or no purchased inputs and a minimum
of marketed outputs. The existence of restrictive trade policy milk in the Diary Industry and the
emergence of Amul type cooperatives have changed the dairy farming practices in the country.
Farmers have gained the favourable price for their milk and for their production which was
essentially a self-reliant one is which are now being transformed into a commercial proposition.
In India Milk production is dominated by small and marginal land-holding farmers. And as
the crop production on 78% of the agricultural land still depends on rain, which is prone to both drought
and floods, rendering agricultural income is very much uncertain for most of the farmers. Dairying, as
a subsidiary source of income and occupation, is real relief to most of the farmers in the society.
Usually one or two animals enable the farmers to generate sufficient income to break the vicious
13 | P a g e
subsistence agricultural-debt cycle. India in the early 1950's was commercially importing around
55000 tons of milk powder annually to meet the urban milk demand. Most of the significant
developments in dairying have taken place in India in this century only. The size of Indian dairy
industry in both organized and unorganized sectors is expected to double to $140 billion by 2020, on
the back of growing demand and rising disposable income. The Indian dairy industry, currently pegged
at $70 billion (organized and unorganized), is expected to double by 2020."On the back of a rise in
health awareness, disposable income and strong demand for dairy products, the Indian dairy industry
is all set to experience high growth rates in the next 5-6 years." the report said.
While the dairy industry is growing at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15-17%,
the value-added products alone are growing way beyond 24%. Milk is the country's biggest agricultural
produce, contributing 22% to agricultural GDP. India overtook the US in 1998 to become the world's
leading milk producer, accounting for over 15% of the global output. The industry, which had been a
national heritage, is now re-emerging and catching the eye of investors due to its growth potential.
Growth in financials of existing domestic players, diversification into dairy sector by other companies,
surge in private equity deals, entry of foreign firms in the segment are some of the broad indications
that India's organized dairy industry will remain on growth path at least till 2020, the report said. The
milk production alone is expected to cross 200 million tons by 2016 from the current 125 million tons.
The dairy sector has been liberalized in a phased manner since 1991. Many private players entered the

There are regional disparities in production and consumption also. The per capita availability
in the north is 278gm, west 174gm, south 148gm and in the east only 93gm per person per day. This
disparity is due to concentration of milk production in some pockets and high cost of transportation.
Also, the output of milk in cereal growing areas is much higher than elsewhere which can be attributed
to abundant availability of fodder, crop residues etc. which have a high food value for milk animals.
In India about 46 per cent of the total milk produced is consumed in liquid form and 47 per
cent is converted into traditional products like butter, cheese, ghee, paneer (cottage cheese), khoya,
curd, Butter, etc. Only 7 percent of the milk goes into the production of western products like milk
powders, processed butter and processed cheese. The remaining 54% is utilized for conversion to

milk products. Among the milk products manufactured by the organized sector some of the prominent
ones are ghee, butter, cheese, ice creams, milk powders, malted milk food, condensed milk infant’s
It is estimated that around 20% of the total milk produced in the country is consumed at
producer-house hold level and remaining is marketed through various cooperatives, private dairies
and vendors. Also of the total produce more than 50% is procured by cooperatives and other private
dairies.
While for cooperatives of the total milk procured 60% is consumed in fluid form and rest is
used for manufacturing processed value added dairy products; for private dairies only 45% is
marketed in fluid form and rest is processed into value added dairy products like ghee, butter etc.
Still, several consumers in urban areas prefer to buy loose milk from vendors due to the strong
perception that loose milk is fresh. Also, the current level of processing and packaging capacity limits
The preferred dairy animal’s milk in India is buffalo unlike the majority of the world market,
which is dominated by cow milk as high as 98% of milk is produced in rural India, which caters to
72% of the total population, whereas the urban sector with 28% population consumes 56% of total
milk produced. Even in urban India, as high as 83% of the consumed milk comes from the
Presently only 12% of the milk market is represented by packaged and branded pasteurized
milk, valued at about Rs.8000 cores. Quality of milk sold by unorganized sector however is
inconsistent and so is the price across the season in local areas. Also, these vendors add water and

There is a long history and tradition of high dairy consumptions in India, as urbanization is an
ongoing process there will be a shift from traditional to more commercial western dairy products as
a result of changes in lifestyle. The consumption pattern of dairy products in India is quite unique as
compared to some of the western countries. Consumption is primarily based on traditional products;
however, westernized products are gradually gaining momentum in the urban areas. Interestingly,
buffalo milk accounts for the largest share of the total milk produced (55%) in the country. Since the
pricing of milk is based on the fat content, buffalo milk offers higher profit margins as compared to
Despite being the one of the largest milk producing countries in the world, India accounts for
a negligible share in the worldwide dairy trade. The ever-increasing rise in domestic demand for dairy
products and a large demand-supply gap could lead to India being a net importer of dairy products in

Other kinds of milk change hands over ten times before it reaches you! Poorly fed cows are milked,
then the milk lies exposed in farmers’ buckets that finds its way into larger unhygienic cans. Several
such cans reach the collection centre from where the exposed milk is transferred to a chilling canter,

often subject to power shortages. From the chilling canter, milk is transferred to a large milk tanker
under Indian temperature conditions and over large distances, and then transferred yet again to a
holding tank at the dairy. Milk poured into a process tank at the dairy goes into plastic pouches and
then loaded onto a truck in distributor’s plastic crates. Milk lies indefinitely in crates–waiting to be
picked up by the agent and delivery man. Milk finally arrives at your door almost two days later! As
you can see, this milk is far from perfect, stripped of its vital goodness at every point.
