A Comparative Analysis of Dairy Farming Practices and Sustainability in India and Key Global Markets

Dairy farming contributes well to the eradication of poverty in the rural area of India since it is still a developing country. But when compared to many developed countries dairy farmers’ economic empowerment India’s dairy farmers are very low because of many reasons. In view of this, the study aims to know the economic empowerment through dairy farming in India and abroad and to make a comparative analysis between India and selected abroad countries in dairy farming. The study gathered secondary data to achieve the aforesaid objective. The study found that smallholding dairy farmers are more in India since they can earn their daily bread through dairy farming but their economic empowerment is not up to a mark. The challenges play a very important role in the success of dairy farming in India. Even some dairy farmers succeeded but their numbers are very small. Hence both dairy farmers and government should work on facing the challenges and achieving whatever they want in this industry.
