INDUSTRY PROFILE
Introduction- Dairy Industry
Dairy industry is an important industry in India. The country is the world’s largest
milk producer, accounting for more than 13% of the world’s total milk production. It is
the world’s largest consumer of dairy products, consuming almost 100 percent of its own
milk production. Dairy products are a major source of cheap and nutritious food to
millions of people in India. It is the only acceptable source of animal protein for large
vegetarian segment in Indian population particularly among landless, small and marginal
farmers and women. Dairying has been considered as one of the activities aimed at
alleviating the poverty and unemployment especially in the rural areas where it is rain-fed
and drought-prone region.
History of Dairy Industry

The development of Indian dairy industry took its shape after the white
revolution. The white revolution has increased the milk production from 17 million tons
(1950-1951) to 110 million tons (2008-2009)
Dr. Verghese Kurien engineered the white revolution in India. He was the
chairman of the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd. (GCMMF) and his
name was synonymous with the Amul brand. Operation Flood (white revolution), was
done in 3 phases.
Operation Flood:
Operation Flood has helped farmers, direct their own development, placing
control of the resources they create in their own hands. A ‘National Milk Grid’, bridges
milk producers throughout India with consumers in over 700 towns and cities, reducing
seasonal and regional price variations while ensuring that the producer gets a major share
of the price consumers pay.
GCEM, Department of Management Studies Page 1

The bedrock of Operation Flood has been village milk producers’ cooperatives,
which procure milk and provides inputs and services, making modern management and
technology available to members. Operation Flood’s objectives included:
 Increase milk production (“a flood of milk”)
 Augment rural incomes
 Fair prices for consumers
Programme Implementation:
Operation Flood was implemented in three phases.
Phase I
Phase I (1970–1980) was financed by the sale of skimmed milk powder and butter
oil donated by the European Union (then the European Economic Community) through
the World Food Programme. NDDB planned the programme and negotiated the details of
EEC assistance. During its first phase, Operation Flood linked 18 of India’s premier milk
sheds with consumers in India’s major metropolitan
cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai; thus establishing mother dairies in four
metros.
Operation flood, also referred to as “White Revolution” was a gigantic project

propounded by Government of India for developing dairy industry in the country. The
Operation Flood – 1 originally meant to be completed in 1975, actually the period of
about nine years from1970-79, at a total cost of Rs.116 crore.
As start of operation Flood-1 in 1970 certain set of aims were kept in view for the
implementation of the programmers. Improvement by milk marketing was made by
organizing dairy sector in the metropolitan cities including Bombay, Calcutta, Madras,
and Delhi.

The objectives of commanding share of milk market and speed up development of

dairy animals respectively hinter lands of rural areas with a view to increase both
production and procurement.
Phase II
Operation Flood Phase II (1981–1985) increased the milk sheds from 18 to 136;
290 urban markets expanded the outlets for milk. By the end of 1985, a self-sustaining
system of 43,000 village cooperatives with 42.5 lakh milk producers were covered.
Domestic milk powder production increased from 22,000 tons in the pre-project year to
1, 40,000 tons by 1989, and the increase coming from dairies set up under Operation
Flood. In this way EEC gifts and World Bank loan helped promote self-reliance. Direct
marketing of milk by producer’s co-operatives has increased by several million liters a
day.
Phase III
Phase III (1985–1996) enabled dairy cooperatives to expand and strengthen the
infrastructure required to procure and market increasing volumes of milk. Veterinary
first-aid health care services, feed and artificial insemination services for cooperative
members were extended, along with intensified member education.
Operation Flood’s Phase III consolidated India’s dairy cooperative movement,
adding 30,000 new dairy cooperatives to the 42,000 existing societies organized during
Phase II. Milk sheds peaked to 173 in 1988-89 with the numbers of women members and
Women’s Dairy Cooperative Societies increasing significantly.
Phase III gave increased emphasis to research and development in animal health
and animal nutrition. Innovations like vaccine for Theileriosis, bypassing protein feed
and urea-molasses mineral blocks, all contributed to the enhanced productivity of milk
animals.

The market of milk industry in India:

The Beginning of organized milk handling was made in India with the
establishment of the “Military Dairy Farms” (oldest in Allahabad, 1889), the salient
features of the market of milk industry so far have been:
 Long distance refrigerator rail-transport of milk from AMUL to Mumbai since 1945.
 Handling of milk in co-operative Milk Union (oldest: Allahabad, 1913) established all
over the country on a small scale in the early stages.
 Pasteurization and bottling on a large scale for organized distribution was started at
Aarey (1950), Worly (1961), Calcutta (Haringhata, 1959), Delhi (1959), Chennai (1963),
etc.
 Establishment of milk plant under the five-year plan for dairy Development all over
India. These were taken up with the dual object of increasing the national level of milk
consumption and ensuring better return to the primary milk producer. Their main aim
was to produce more, better and cheaper milk.
Growth of Dairy Industry in India

India has become the world’s No. 1 milk producing country, with output in 1999-
2000 (marketing year ending March 2000) forecasted at 78 million tonnes. The annual
rate of growth in milk production in India is between 5-6 per cent, against the worlds at 1
per cent. India’s annual milk production has more than trebled in the last 30 years, rising
from 21 million tonnes in 1968 to an anticipated 80 million tonnes in 2000.
The country's estimated milk production for the year 2010-11 is 121 million
tonnes, close to 17 percent of world milk production. Last year, the annual milk
production stood at 112 million tonnes. World milk production increased to 710 million
tonnes in 2010, an increase of 1.6 percent over previous year.

India's milk production increased from 21.2 million MT in 1968-69 to 66.2 million
MT in 1995-96 and to 121.7 million MT in 2010-11.Per capita availability of milk was
around 276 grams per day in 2010-11 increased from 195 grams per day in 1995-96, up
from 112 grams per day in 1968-69.India's milk production increased over 4% annually
during 2000-01 to 2010-11 surpasses the 1.6% growth in population; the net increase in
availability is around 2.4% per year.

This rapid growth and modernization is largely credited to the contribution of dairy
cooperatives, under the Operation Flood (OF) Project, assisted by many multi- lateral
agencies, including the European Union, the World Bank, FAO and WFP (World Food
Program). In the Indian context of poverty and malnutrition, milk has a special role to
play for its many nutritional advantages as well as providing supplementary income to
some 70 million farmers in over 5, 00,000 remote villages.
Milk is the raw material of the dairy industry, which cannot be created artificially and
stored for a long time. The term “Milk Market” refers to the fluid whole that is sold to
the individuals usually for direct consumption.
The dairy industry has come up to the present stage because of well-planned,
effective and coordinated efforts of the National Dairy Development Board, co-operative
of the Government.
National Dairy Development Board lays down rules and regulations to be followed by
the various co-operative milk societies. Amul (Anand Milk Union Limited) was a
pioneer in starting a co-operative milk producers society and thereafter many co-
operative societies where started. World Bank also had given credit of Rs.78 Crores for
starting another society as AMUL in 1975.
Salient Features of Indian Dairy Sector
 In Livestock sector, Dairy is one of the high growth areas. The Dairy sector contributes
68 percent and in order to meet the target of 6 percent growth rate, milk group has to
show a minimum growth rate of 5 percent. Dairying has shown a growth of 3.5 per cent,
and is projected to grow at 3 per cent only during 2009 on account of overall recession.
 Despite high growth rate in production, per capita availability of milk in India is only
245 gms / day, which is much lower than world average 285 gms/ day.

 India is among the worlds largest and the fastest growing market for milk and milk
products. The market size in value terms is rupees 2000 billion (USD 47.6 billion) and
growing at nearly 7.5% annually.
 Organized sector handles 10-12 million tonnes of packed liquid milk & 5-7 million
tonnes of value added milk products while the unorganized sector handles 22-24 million
tonnes of value added milk products.
 Due to competitive farm gate prices, huge opportunity exists in export of milk and value
added milk products ,especially milk powders to neighboring countries where domestic
production cannot meet demand.
 The production capacities have increased of the Dairy by-products such as Casein, Whey
and Lactose, which are exported.
 Growth is organized F & G retail has created the demand for processed milk products
with longer shelf life. This has increased the necessity for large continuous equipment
manufacturers, which could help to increase the scale of operations and reduce the
manufacturing cost.
 Dairy Scenario with its growing herd-size, steady rise in herd quality, productivity and
increasing mechanization will attain phenomenal growth in near future. Improved herd
health, productivity and milk output are the need of the day.
Latest Developments in Dairy Industry
 Indian Dairy Industry is the largest milk producer all over the world, around 100 million
MT Indian Dairy Industries value of output amounted to Rs. 1179 billion in 2004-05
which approximately equals combined output of paddy and wheat. With 1/5th of the
world’s bovine population.
 In India the Milch animals constitutes 45% indigenous cattle, 55 % buffaloes, and 10%
cross breed cows

Intensive Dairy Development Programmed (IDDP): The Schemes, modified under this
programmes are on the basis of the recommendation of the evaluation studies which were
launched during Eighth Plan period and is being continued throughout the Eleventh Plan
with an outlay of Rs. 32.49 core for 2009-10.
Strengthening Infrastructure for Quality and Clean Milk Production (CMP): This is
a centrally sponsored scheme which was launched in October 2003, which had the main
objective of improving the quality of raw milk produced at the every village level in the
India.
Dairy Venture Capital Fund- This is introduced in the Tenth Five Year Plan to bring
about structural changes in unorganized sector, which would measure like milk
processing at village level, marketing of pasteurized milk in a cost effective manner,
quality or the up gradation of traditional technology to handle commercial scale using
modern equipments and management skills.
Evolution of Karnataka Milk Federation

Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) was instituted in 1984, by federating the 13
milk unions in the state and thus forming the state level apex organization. As a co-
operative apex body of the state of Karnataka, it represents dairy farmer’s organization
and also implements dairy development activities to achieve the following objectives:
 To build village level institutions in co-operative sectors to manage the dairy activities
 To ensure provision of milk production inputs, processing facilities and dissemination of
know-how
 Provides assured and remunerative market for the milk produced by the farmer members
 To facilitate rural development by providing opportunities for self-employment at village
level, preventing migration to urban areas, introducing cash economy and opportunity for
steady income
 Provide quality milk to urban consumers.
