Milk and Dairy Products in India - Production, Consumption and Exports

Till about year 2000, India was not on the radar screen of most international dairy companies, since India was neither a major importer nor an exporter of dairy products. Through the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s India used to take some milk powder and butter oil as aid. Exports from India were insignificantly small. From 2000 onwards, Indian dairy products, particularly milk powder, casein, whey products and ghee started making their presence felt in global markets.

The decade of 2000-10 will be recorded in dairy history as the decade of exports. But the next decade will be different. Signs of change are already visible. India is finding it difficult to sustain exports. The day is not far when India will become a net importer of dairy products,particularly of dairy fats.

India’s milk production will grow at about 3 per cent per annum in spite of difficulties due to stagnant livestock herd size and shortage of fodder. Due to increasing population, per capita availability of milk will increase by only about 1.5 per cent per annum. For an economy growing at about 8 per cent per annum, this increase in availability will be grossly inadequate.

Introduction

* India is the largest producer of milk producing more than 100 million tons of milk per annum. Yet, her per capita milk consumption is around 250 g per day.

* India has a population of more than 1 billion with diverse food habits, cultures, traditions and religions. Regional variations within the country can be mind boggling. On one hand, the country has plains with long tradition of milk production and consumption. On the other hand, there are forest and hilly regions with no tradition of dairying. Most of coastal belts also do not have much of dairy tradition.

* Cow is holy for Hindus who make up more than 80 per cent of the population of India. Buffalo enjoys no such holy status. Cow slaughter is banned in many states of India. There are no restrictions on buffalo culling.
