India is the world's largest producer of milk and milk products contributing to 23 percent of global production. With the wedding season returning to pre-COVID-19 levels, the demand for milk and milk products is expected to rise sharply in the future.

Today if we are contributing 23 percent of world milk production, the way we have grown in the last 15-25 years, we will be producing around three times more, which will be 45 percent to the world’s milk production in the future," said RS Sodhi, managing director of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) otherwise known as Amul.
All over the world, demand for milk and milk products is increasing, he added.
Separately, Amul also has hiked the prices of milk three times a year. However, compared to last year, the price increase in milk and milk products is around 8 percent, which is the lowest in the world.
