India is the world's largest milk producer, producing 187.7 million tonnes of milk in 2018-2019. Dairy farming is integrated with crop production for many small landholding farmers. Milk production is largely based on low-input systems. Two-thirds of farm households are involved in livestock production including dairy. Per capita milk consumption in India is lower than recommended levels. There is potential to increase milk productivity through improved cattle breeds and feeding practices.

2. Introduction
India is the world’s largest milk producing
country. The milk production of India has
grown from 17 million tonnes in 1951 to 187.7
million tonnes in the year 2018-2019.
22-06-2023 Dr Ulhas Gaikwad 2
3. Introduction
Nearly two-thirds of farm
households in India are associated
with livestock production, and 80
per cent of them are small
landholders (< 2ha).

4. Introduction
The livestock, specifically dairying
is a supplementary enterprise to
crop farming and is highly
integrated with crop production.
More than 75 per cent of the
farmers keep 2-3 milch animals for
survival of their livelihoods.
22-06-2023 Dr Ulhas Gaikwad 4
5. Introduction
The structure of milk production
is largely based on low input and
low-to-moderate output which fits
into the Indian situation. The
farmers’ perception about input
use and its outcome is usually
traditional.
22-06-2023 Dr Ulhas Gaikwad 5
6. Introduction
Certain regions of the country of
rural population, have taken up
dairying progressively as a means
of full employment.

7. • World milk production during 2018-19 was 843.75 million tonnes
• India ranks first in total milk production in world followed by the
USA, China, Pakistan and Brazil since 1998.
• The milk production of India is 187.7 million tonns (2018-2019).
• India accounting for more than 22.0 per cent of the world and 57
per cent of Asia’s total milk production
• The milk production in India differs region wise. Over 80 % of the
