India is the largest producer of milk accounting for nearly 17% of total milk production of the world. India has a population of more than 1 billion people with diverse food habits, cultures, traditions and religions. Regional variations within the country can be mind boggling. On one hand, the country has plains with long tradition of milk production and consumption. On the other hand, there are forest and hilly regions with no tradition of dairying. Most of coastal belts also do not have much of dairy tradition while UP alone contributes the 18% of total Milk production in India. Basically, milk production is controlled in rural belt. Owing to conventional dietary habits of Indian households, about 60% of milk produced is consumed in the liquid form and the remaining is consumed in the form of butter, desi ghee, cheese, curd, paneer, ice cream, dairy whiteners and traditional sweets.
