India: Dairy and Products Annual
India’s fluid milk production in Calendar Year (CY) 2018 is forecast to increase by around 4 percent to 167 million metric tons (MMT) assuming a normal monsoon. CY 2018 NFDM and butter exports are projected at 15,000 and 10,000 metric tons respectively on expectations of moderate export demand. India’s domestic production continues to fall short of increasing demand, which is not able to be met with imports due to veterinary health certificate requirements that restrict trade.
