Climate risks may widen India's milk demand-supply gap, says CII paper
A CII paper says climate risks could widen India's milk demand-supply gap. Milk production growth has slowed to 3.5 to 3.7 per cent. Higher temperatures may push up procurement costs, squeeze margins and hit value-added dairy products, the paper notes. For dairy owners and buyers, milk may cost more and supplies could stay tight. Track your input costs and plan procurement ahead.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Milk production growth has slowed to 3.5 to 3.7 per cent.
- Climate risks could raise procurement costs, squeeze margins and affect value-added dairy products.
- A one degree Celsius rise in temperature leads to a loss of 1.5 to 2 litres of milk per animal per day.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you run a dairy business or buy milk in bulk, review your procurement costs and margins now, and plan supplies with some buffer. Treat this CII paper as a warning sign, not a certainty, and take your own sales and cost data before deciding.
