Since 1998, India has been the world's biggest producer and consumer of dairy products, with a steady increase in the availability of milk and milk products. Dairy farming is a vital aspect of the rural Indian economy, providing both jobs and money. India also boasts the world's largest bovine population. However, as compared to other major dairy producers, milk production per animal is much lower. Furthermore, virtually all of India's dairy products are eaten domestically, with the bulk marketed as fluid milk. As a result, the Indian dairy business has enormous potential for value addition and overall growth.
