Industry Outlook
The Dairy sector in India has grown substantially over the years. As a result of prudent policy interventions, India ranks first among the world’s milk producing nations, achieving an annual production of 221.06 million tonnes during the year 2021-22 as compared to 209.96 million tonnes during 2020-21 recording a growth rate of 5.29%. FAO Food Outlook (November 2022) reported 1.34% increase in world milk production from 912.6 million tonnes in 2020 to 924.8 million tonnes in 2021 (estimates). This represents a sustained growth in the availability of milk and milk products for the growing population.
Dairying has become an important secondary source of income for millions of rural families and has assumed the most important role in providing employment and income generating opportunities particularly for women and marginal farmers. The per capita availability of milk has reached a level of 444 grams per day during the year 2021-22 which is more than the world average of around 320 grams per day in 2021 (estimates) (Food Outlook Nov’22). Most of the milk in the country is produced by small, marginal farmers and landless labourers.
India, about 46% of the milk produced is either consumed at the producer level or sold to nonproducers in the rural area, he balance 54% of the milk is available for sale to organised and unorganised players. Organised sector comprise of Government, Producers’ Owned Institutions (Milk Cooperatives & Producer Companies) and Private players which provides fair and transparent system of milk collection round the year at the village level. Unorganized/informal sector involves local milkman, dudhias, contractors etc. and they are mostly found to be opportunistic, as there is no uniformity of milk price paid to producers and it varies depending upon the situation. Possibility of adulteration of milk is higher among these unorganized groups. In the areas where competition is high and presence of formal sector is strong, they generally give higher prices and at the same time, they don’t offer remunerative prices to the producers where organized sector is not present.

Competition
We compete with organized and as well as unorganized players in the industry with better financial position, market share, product ranges, human and other resources. There are no entry barriers in our industry which puts us to the threat of competition from new entrants as there are numerous players operating in the industry. The dairy industry in India is highly fragmented and the main challenges lies in quality, reliability, pricing and goodwill.
Many of our competitors have substantially large capital base and resources than we do and offer broader range of products and services. We believe that our ability to compete effectively is primarily dependent on ensuring consistent product quality at competitive prices, thereby strengthening our brand over the years. We believe that our cost effective and our product offerings puts us ahead in dealing with all challenges and expectations by our customers. We are located in proximity to seaport to link to ASEAN markets. Also, our geographical raw material procurement strategy gives us an edge when raw material quality is considered giving us a better vantage point in domestic markets.
