Introduction
India is similar to many countries in Asia and Africa with regards to development status, climate, natural resource base, population etc. In spite of the size and growth of population and economy, India is the only country among these countries to achieve self sufficiency in milk production and has become the largest milk producing country and continuing to maintain it.
India has become the largest milk producing country in the world despite the fact that it has a hot and humid climate which is not suitable for milk production. This target has been achieved with the help of farmers having 2-3 milch animals as compared to the developed nations where the climate is suitable and large farms are there for milk production.

• Milk production in the country was stagnant during the 1950s and 1960s. However with the implementation of the Operation Flood programs and other dairy development programs initiated by the State and Central government helped India to develop as a self sufficient country in milk production.
• The trend for imports continued till 1993. Exports exceeded imports for the first time. Between 1993 and 1999 imports and exports were similar and since 2001, India has been a net exporter of dairy products. After 2003, exports have grown at an commendable rate while imports have dipped.
• The milk production in India has increased from 17 million tonnes to 146.3 million tonnes during the period 1950-51 to 2014-15.(DAHD)
• India's export of dairy products was 66,424.34 MT to the world for the worth of Rs. 1,205.38 crores during the year 2014-15.(APEDA)
Impact Of WTO on Indian Dairy Industry

• Also India started exporting surplus dairy products such as milk powders, ghee, butter, and cheese in the 1990s.However, the exports were negligible.
• Commercial imports of dairy products were significant until the early 1970s but declined significantly in the 1980s and 1990s. However, the imports of milk powders and butter increased largely in the late 1990s due to low import duties on these two products under the WTO agreement.
• The new trade regime was hoped to provide opportunities to be an important part in global market of dairy products.
• The liberalized trade regime has attracted foreign direct investment through MNCs or joint ventures and private entrepreneurs to harvest the export potential.
• The products exported by India are SMP, WMP, Butter oil, Ghee, Whey products, Dairy spread, Processed and powdered cheese and Fermented
From a financial and marketing standpoint, the effects have been catastrophic. In some areas, milk production has decreased by an average of two liters daily and calving index (efficiency at which new calves are produced) went down by an average of twenty days (Davies NP). Th...
“Feed costs accounted for the largest share of milk production cost at 65 to 75 percent at operating cost and 33 to 50 percent of total economic cost” (McBride, 2009, p.39).

The Shea tree is indigenous to West Africa making myself and other persons that use the product reliant on the African workers to produce it. For any county to be fully self-sufficient, or to not trade with other countries, it would possibly be deprived of such items that can not be grown there. Therefore, specialization is a factor that keeps the trade cycle moving, one country creates a product and is able to trade it with others.

When most people think of dairy animals they immediately think of a cow because that’s what they are taught growing up. More recently dairy goats operations have become more and more popular because of this dairy goat products will continue to be product in demand. In 2013 there were three hundred sixty thousand milking goats with Wisconsin being number one with forty six thousand milking goats .

Milk overall is known as a natural source of nutrients, goats milk is a popular alternate to cow’s milk with it being easier to digest. Overall goats are much more efficient than dairy cattle. They produce more for their body size, the cost to raise them is much cheaper, and the components in goat’s milk are on a much higher scale than any dairy cattle.
The current Production Capacity is Low to face the upcoming competition-The dairy currently produces 10000 liters of milk per day even after 30 years of presence in the market. This will certainly affect the chances to take advantage of the current growing market and to manage the consumption cycles of the industry. The question of whether to decide on the expansion of production capacity: With an incredible growth expected in the industry, the issue that the management faces now is, whether to increase the production capacity or not. This is very much needed as the expansion of production capacity will equip the company to supply and cater to the demand as well as attain economies of scale, which can be used as a competitive advantage against the new entrants. However, this calls for capital investments on the assets required for expansion.

By creating this fear in the lives of Americans it generates a urgency to stop the risk of osteoporosisThe false information about dairy products that has been blasted all over America, misinformed Americans for many years. Since the same information has been shared for many years throughout generations nobody has questioned it. The habit that was created by the dairy industry and being practiced by American is unhealthy. Consuming large amounts of dairy products is the normal thing to do and this is what the dairy industry has been attempting to achieve. Making the consumers addicted to a product only means that they will continually buy the product for the rest of their lives. Now that everyone believes the idea that dairy products is an essential part of the health of humans, dairy products become in high demand. Once dairy products become in high demand, the dairy products are produce in mass production. Mass production usually is not consistent with good quality and is always using unhealthy shortcuts to produce larger amounts of the product.The false sense of need for dairy products increase the chance of certain health issues to Americans because they begin to consume large amounts of dairy products. Dairy products usually contain unhealthy chemicals and hormones to enhance the growth of
Exporting is the commercial activity of selling and shipping a good or goods to a foreign country. Importing is the commercial activity of buying and bringing in goods from a foreign country.

However, the dairy industries have made significant efforts in utilizing the by-products of milk product and processing, yielding both economic benefits and a reduction in wastage. In particular, skim milk, a by-product of cream separation, and whey, a by-product from cheese production, have received much attention due to their high commercial value. This paper discusses the efficient and effective conversion of milk production and processing by-products into valuable ingredients
India's ice cream industry offers a potentially lucrative market for US agricultural and food exporters. Trade liberalization in the country is driving the growth and diversification of the sector, with consumers given a wide range of ice cream flavors such as vanilla, strawberry, butterscotch and chocolate. High tariff rates and inefficient distribution systems continue to hamper the import market, but an increasingly affluent younger generation of consumers will likely boost the ice cream sales.
The packaged milk category was originated in 1981 by (quaintly named) Milk Pak, which pioneered tetra pack milk in Pakistan. The supply chain involved collecting milk from rural areas across Punjab, processing the milk through UHT (Ultra-High Temperature Processing) treatment, and selling it to consumers in uniquely colored triangular and rectangular packs designed to prolong the milk’s quality. Milk Pak’s “Milk Packs” were very well-received and the brand soon became synonymous with quality milk. Its first real competition came in the form of Haleeb, which introduced distinctively blue tetra packs to the market in 1986.
