INDUSTRY PROFILE

GENESIS AND GROWTH OF DAIRY INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Co-operative dairying in India is over 50 years old of the total milk produced

in India, about two third is buffalo milk and a still larger proportion of buffalo milk

is in the processed stage. The milk processing Industry gained momentum and

respectability in the 80’s but still it can only be considered as growing one. The

milk sector is the second largest contributor to the agricultural economy in terms of

produce. In 1990-91 the co-operative collected nearly ten million liters and

marketed eight million liters of liquid milk per day.

 Of the total milk production in India, about 45% us used fluid consumption

rest is converted into products such as ghee 33%, Dahi 8%.

Animal husbandry was considered an activity for the rural areas, where as

dairy development was only in the cities. For the farmers, projects such as the key,

village scheme and the intensive cattle development programmers were very

useful. These aimed at improving milk yields through better management of the

cattle and eventual upgrading of the breads, But, these projects by themselves

never paid much attention either to be marketing of the additional milk that was

supposed to be produced, or to its processing.

Indian dairying is marked by high seasoned of milk production. This is

caused by the breeding cycle, as well as loading protection most crop residue is fed

to animals, the availability of which were from season to season.

There is, therefore the flux season, when milk animals produce nearly

double quantity of milk than they do in the lean season. This at time ponds in

animal gluts.

Dairy development meant setting up modest sized (10,0000 to 25,000 liter / day)
liquid milk processing plants in cites with population of half a million or more.
Even if the plants in cities with population of half a million or more. Even if the
plants had functioned to their full capacity which they did not public dairies could
have had only about 10-15 percent share of the market? This meant that the
urban provate milk trade could continue unchecked. The link between the rural
produced and the urban procession public as well as private remained the
middleman. Though India has 23% of total animal wealth of the world, the milk
production is only 6.5%. This miserable situation is due to lower productivity of
the Indian milk animals. The estimated demand for milk us 64.40 million tones by
2000 A.D. the agricultural sector contributes 46% of national income. The dairy
industry contributes 10% of agricultural income so, around 5% of the national
income is contributed by this
