DAIRY FARMING
INTRODUCTION
India derives nearly 33% of the gross Domestic population from agriculture and has
66% of economically active population,engaged in agriculture. The share of livestock
product is estimated at 21% of total agriculture sector. The fact that dairing could play
a more constructive role in promoting rural welfare and reducing poverty is increasly
being recognised . Milk production alone involves more than 70 million producers,
each raising one or two cows/ buffaloes primarily for milk production . The
domesticated water buffalo is one of the gentlest of all farm animals ,hence it can be
breeded easily. The dairy sector offers a good opportunity to entrepreneurs in India.
India is a land of opportunity for those who are looking for new and expanding
markets.Growth propsects in the dairy sector are very bright.
MARKET
Dairy development in India has been acknowledged the world over as one of modern India"s
most sucessful development programme. India is the second largest milk producing country
with anticipated production of about 78 million tons during 1999-2000. The production of milk
products stoood at 3.07 lakh tonnes in 1999-2000. Production ofmilk powder including infant
milk food has risen to 2.25 lakh tons in 1999-2000, whereas that of malted food is at 65000
tons. Off late market for milk products is showing a steady increase.
per year from a unit consisting of 2 milking buffaloes. The capital investment required for
purchase of 2 buffaloes is Rs. 18,223/-. Even after paying a sum of Rs. 4294/- per annum
towards repayment of the loan and interest the farmer can earn a net surplus of Rs. 6000 9000/- approximately per year. (For details see model scheme enclosed). Even more
profits can be earned depending upon the breed of animal, managerial skills and marketing
potential.
1.2 According to World Bank estimates about 75 per cent of India's 940 million people are
in 5.87 million villages, cultivating over 145 million hectares of cropland. Average farm size
is about 1.66 hectares. Among 70 million rural households, 42 per cent operate upto 2
hectares and 37 per cent are landless households. These landless and small farmers have
in their possession 53 per cent of the animals and produce 51 per cent of the milk. Thus,
small/marginal farmers and land less agricultural labourers play a very important role in
milk production of the country. Dairy farming can also be taken up as a main occupation
around big urban centres where the demand for milk is high.
