Gandhinagar (Gujarat)[India], March 18 : Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah on Saturday said that India must not be satisfied by becoming the world's largest milk producer, but must also aim to become the biggest dairy exporter.Shah also reiterated the central government's commitment to strengthening the cooperative model.The Union Minister was speaking at the Indian Dairy Summit, orgsed on the third and final day of the Indian Dairy Association's (IDA) 49th Dairy Industry Conference in Gandhinagar.The theme of the conference was "India Dairy to the world: Opportunities & Challenges"."Our milk processing capacity is around 126 million litres per day, which is the highest in the world. From 1970 to 2022, India's population has increased fourfold, but milk production has increased by ten times," Shah said."We should not be satisfied by being the world's largest milk producer. We must also strive to become the world's biggest dairy exporter. A second White Revolution is needed and we are working in that direction. The Narendra Modi government will not let any opportunity go to waste," the country's first cooperation minister said."The Indian dairy sector has grown by 6.6 per cent per year in the past decade. The Central government is setting up 2 lakh dairy cooperatives in villages, and once that happens, the dairy sector's growth will go up to 13.80 per cent.

Our dairy exports will be at least five times the current level," said Shah.The union minister noted that dairy is a vocation for the world, but in India, where 9 crore families are directly connected with dairying, it is also a source of livelihood, strengthening the rural economy, addressing nutritional challenges, and women empowerment.Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel also addressed the occassion and said, "Small dairy farmers are the real strength of the Indian dairy sector.
