New Delhi: India’s milk production rose by 19 per cent in the last three years to touch 163.6 million tonnes, leading to a significant increase in dairy farmers’ income, Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh said today.

Addressing a function on the National Milk Day, he said the government has launched many programmes in the last three years to raise dairy sector’s productivity.

The minister announced that a National Action Plan Vision-2022 would be unveiled that would focus on creation of infrastructure for handling of increased milk production and help achieve the target to double farmers’ income by 2022.

Father of white revolution

“Our milk production has increased to 163.6 million tonnes in 2016-17 from 137.7 million tonnes in 2013-14. This means that output has grown by 18.81 per cent during this period,” Singh said on the National Milk Day being celebrated on the birth anniversary of Dr Verghese Kurien, the father of white revolution.

India is the largest milk producer in the world, he said, adding that the country’s milk production grew at an annual rate of 6 per cent during 2014-17 as against 4 per cent during the previous three years.

The per capita milk availability has also increased to 351 gram in 2016-17 from 307 gram in 2013-14, he added.

“Income of dairy farmers has increased by 23.77 per cent during 2014-17 compared to 2011-14,” Singh said.
