PM Modi Launches International Dairy Federation World Dairy Summit 2022 in Greater Noida
“India’s dairy sector is characterized by ‘production by masses’ more than ‘mass production”
“ Dairy Cooperative in India is unique in the whole world and can be a good business model for poor countries”
“Dairy cooperatives collect milk twice a day from about two crore farmers in more than two lakh villages in the country and deliver it to the customers”
“More than 70 percent of the money that is received from the customers goes directly to the farmer”
The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi inaugurated International Dairy Federation World Dairy Summit (IDF WDS) 2022 organized at India Expo Centre & Mart, Greater Noida, today.
Addressing the gathering, the Prime Minister expressed happiness that all the dignitaries from the world of dairy have assembled in India today. The Prime Minister said that the World Dairy Summit is going to be a great medium for the exchange of ideas.
“The potential of the dairy sector not only gives impetus to the rural economy but is also a major source of livelihood for crores of people across the world”, he said.
The Prime Minister underlined the centrality of ‘Pashu Dhan’ and milk-related business in the cultural landscape of India.
This has given the dairy sector of India many unique characteristics. The Prime Minister pointed out that unlike other developed countries of the world, the driving force of the dairy sector in India is small farmers.
India’s dairy sector is characterized by “production by masses” more than “mass production”. India is the largest milk-producing country on the basis of the efforts of these small farmers with one, two, or three cattle. This sector provides employment to more than 8 crore families in the country, he informed.
