• Global consumption of protein increased from 3.7 to 5.4 lakh tonnes per day - CAGR of
2% .
• Global population increased from 5.4 to 7.0 billion - CAGR of 1% .
• Increasing proportions of this growth is from animal protein
• Meat - 2.9 % • Dairy – 0.5 % increase
• Vegetables, soy and fruit – 2% increase

13. • Small and marginal farmers own 33 % of land and about 60 percent of
female cattle and buffaloes.
• Some 75 % of rural households own, on average, two to four animals.
• Dairying is a part of the farming system, not a separate enterprise.
• Feed is mostly residual from crops, whereas cow dung is important for
manure.
• Dairying provides a source of regular income, whereas income from
agriculture is seasonal.
• About a one third of rural incomes are dependent upon dairying.
• Livestock is a security asset to be sold in times of crisis.

14. SWOT Analysis of Indian Dairy Industry
Strength
 Largest milk producer in the world.
 A huge base of around 11 million farmers.
 Traditional emphasis on consumption.
Weakness
 Poor feeding practices.
 Poor access to institutional
credit.
 Lack of cold storage facilities.
Opportunities
 Elastic demand; economic growth will
spur demand.
 Increasing preference for branded dairy
products.
 Growing focus on health and nutrients
in urban market.
Threat
 Nearly 80 per cent of the
Indian dairy industry is
unorganized.
 Removal of import duty has
led to the threat of dumping.

24. • The bedrock of Operation Flood has been village milk
producers’ cooperatives, which
• procure milk
• provide inputs and services,
• making modern management and technology
available to members.
• Operation Flood’s objectives included:
• Increase milk production (“a flood of milk”)
• Augment rural incomes
• Reasonable prices for consumers
• Programme Implementation
Operation Flood
Strategy
24

25. 1. Making India the largest producer of milk and milk products,
and hence is also called the White Revolution of India.
2. Followed the Indian Green Revolution and helped alleviating
poverty by offering gainful employment, and also providing
access to better nutrition.
3. Operation Flood has helped dairy farmers direct their own
development, placing control of the resources they create in
their own hands.
4. Reducing seasonal and regional price variations and ensure
and ensure fair market prices.

consumer price
• Cooperative dairying
• countrywide milk grid –
linking producers to
consumers
• Cutting out middle men
• Strengthening
production,
procurement,
infrastructure and
technology transfer
1940’s
Made dairy farming India’s largest self-sustainable rural employment generator making
the country #1 in milk production.

and professionals with each group appreciating its role and limitations;
• Bring at the command of the rural milk producers the best of the
technology and harness its benefits for the betterment of members;
• Provide a support system to the milk producers without disturbing their
agro-economic systems;
• Plough back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and machines, in
the rural sector for the common good and betterment of the member
producers; and
• Despite growth in the scale of operations, it has remained with the smallest
producer members. 34

1. Increased milk production :
 Highest bovine population in the world.
 tremendous potential to further strengthen India's position in the world
dairy market.
 demand for livestock products will increase substantially.
2. . Export Potential :
 Milk and milk products have emerged as the largest agricultural commodity
 India has the potential to become one of the leading players in milk and milk product
crore in exports.
 Largest exporter of skimmed milk 583 million dollar in 2012-13.
 leading players are Amul, Nestle, Britannia and Mother Dairy.

52. 3. Employment opportunities:
 Dairy sector is the major source of income for an estimated 27.6 million
people. 65 to 70% are small, marginal and land-less farmers.
 pro-poor sectors with any positive development
4. Nutrient supply
5. Low greenhouse gas potential of milk
 Milk production is more environment-friendly when compared to meat
production.
 per unit production mutton emits 11.9 times as much GHG as milk with the
net GHG for mutton being 482.5 vs. 29.2 g for milk. (Pathak et al, 2012)

53. AMUL type cooperatives
• impressive trends in milk production .
• restrictive trade policy for milk products.
• milk production has grown at an exponential rate .
• Farmers receiving a favorable price for their milk and the milk production system.
• self-contained one, is now being transformed into a commercial proposition.

Conclusion:
 Dairy has a lot of potential to improve rural incomes, nutrition and
women empowerment, and hence is a very critical area for investment.
 A well-developed industry will enable millions of farmers to capitalize
on the emerging opportunities and make a significant impact on rural
incomes.
 On the flip side, weak efforts towards dairy development also can have a
significant but negative impact on the dairy industry.
 The growth rate has been sluggish over the past few years.
