Sections
the handbook is divided into seven sections.
India's
ethnic dairy specialities are emerging as the next gourmet food. A
flourishing market for Indias milk products is also expanding
overseas, largely among some 20 million Indians living overseas. In
North America alone, its value is estimated at US $500 million among
four million South Asians.
The handbook documents a new trend in Indian dairy industry that promises
to strengthen its organized modern sector into a viable and vibrant
entity. This development has become possible as a result of innovative
technologies developed for mechanized production of India's ethnic
dairy sector. Already, brands like Amul, Nestle, Mother Dairy and
Britannia are tapping this booming market that accounts for 95 per
cent of all milk products consumed in the country.
These technical advances are creating new economic opportunities for
a range of agri-business enterprises to expand avenues for enhanced
income. These exciting developments have triggered a revolution that
is transforming the socio-economic life of millions of farmers. All
this signifies the start of the second phase of the White Revolution.
The handbook provides "Overview"
of the Indian dairy industry, supported with 34 statistical tables
as well as a number of graphs and charts. Its one highlight is the
presentation of findings of a survey and analysis of the marke for
ethnic dairy foods, conducted by the Institute of Rural Management,
Anand (IRMA) on our behalf.
