India retains position as World's top Milk Producer
India has retained its number one position as world’s largest milk producing country by pushing the United States to second position.
This is the ninth year in a row that India enjoys the numero uno status in milk production. India’s milk production grew almost 4.2% as against the world’s average growth of less than 1%.
In India, milk has a special role to play for its many nutritional advantages as well as providing supplementary income to some 70 million farmers in over 500,000 remote villages.
And milk remains as the number one commodity product by India pushing wheat and rice behind. Country’s output now covers 100 million tonnes and is valued at nearly two lakh crore rupees
In spite of being the world’s largest milk producer, India’s milk processing industry is not very large. Only 12% of milk is delivered to dairies as against the world average of 70%.
In certain countries like New Zealand almost 98% of milk production is processed. Bulk of Indian milk is utilized for drinking or in the unorganized sector for making sweets or other traditional products.
