India is first in the world for milk production, third for egg production, and first for beef exports. Whilst globally cows are the main source of milk, in India the main source is the buffalo. The country accounts for 67.5% of the world’s buffalo milk – 51.9% of India’s milk comes from buffaloes, followed by 44.3% from cows and the rest from goats (Indian Ratings & Research, 2015). |

Dairy processors blame increased production of milk (Rathor, 2015), but Indian farmers differ, saying the quantity of milk produced is the same. Evidence from Chittoor district and SGRS data support this proposition. |
