Paper: GS-III, Subject: Indian Economy, Topic: Agriculture and Allied Sector, Issue: India’s Dairy Sector
Context:
India is currently one of the largest milk producers globally, with a largely labor-intensive dairy sector.
- Despite US pressure to open up its dairy market to American products, India remains competitive with relatively low milk production costs and a robust cooperative model.
- However, India’s dairy model faces challenges that may affect its long-term sustainability.
India and the World in Dairy:
Conclusion
- Though the Indian dairy sector is globally competitive due to low production costs and efficient cooperatives, its reliance on cheap labor poses risks for long-term sustainability.
- The future of Indian dairying will depend on increasing productivity through selective mechanization, genetic improvement, and improved farm-level practices to remain competitive in a changing global dairy landscape.
