Milk Production and Availability in India: A State Level Analysis

Author(s) Mr. Ajit Basaragi, Dr. R N Kadam
Country India
Abstract Dairy farming constitutes a cornerstone of India's rural economy, offering livelihood support to millions and contributing significantly to the nation’s nutritional security and GDP. Despite India’s position as the world's largest milk producer, stark inter-state disparities persist in productivity, infrastructure, and market accessibility. This study presents a comprehensive state-wise analysis of Milk Production in India, drawing on data from 2016-17 to 2022-23, sourced from the Basic Animal Husbandry Statistics 2023. The analysis focuses on key indicators including total milk production, average yield per animal, livestock population, and the relative contributions of crossbred and non-descript indigenous cattle. The findings reveal that states such as Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat consistently lead in total milk production, while states like Punjab and Haryana show high per capita milk availability. Conversely, northeastern and smaller states demonstrate persistently low production levels, underscoring infrastructural and policy challenges. Crossbred cattle show significantly higher productivity compared to indigenous breeds, emphasizing the potential for genetic improvement and targeted interventions .By highlighting the regional imbalances and identifying high- and low-performing states, the study underscores the need for region-specific strategies to boost productivity, enhance veterinary and cold-chain infrastructure, and support sustainable dairy development. These insights can inform policy formulation aimed at bridging the performance gap and fostering inclusive growth in India's dairy sector
