Abstract
Dairy is one of the biggest agri-businesses in India and a significant contributor to the Indian economy. India is the highest milk producer and ranks first position in the world contributing about 25% of global milk production in the year 2023. Dairy is the largest single agricultural commodity with a ~4% share in the economy. The milk production of India has registered a 39% increase during the last 10 years and stands at 239.30 million tons in 2023. Accordingly, the per capita availability of milk is 471 grams per day in India, as against the world average per capita consumption of about 329 grams per day. India aims to achieve a massive share of 30 % of world milk production by 2030. The country has managed to attain a top position in milk production globally owing to its huge bovine population, however, the full potential of the Indian milch herd remains unattained. This executive summary outlines the key findings and recommendations regarding the Indo-Dutch collaboration in the dairy sector. This section sets the stage for a detailed exploration of India’s dairy industry within a global context, highlighting its significance and potential for growth.
