| Indian Dairy On The Move.... |
Agriculture is the primary source of income for nearly 70% of the Indian population. Livestock sector alone with its 20% contribution to the agriculture GDP is the backbone of Indian Agro Economy. 8% economic growth rate, billion-plus population and rising purchasing power have contributed immensely to the unparallel rise in demand for agro-based produce.
Dairy scenario with its growing herd-size, steady rise in herd quality, productivity and increasing mechanization will attain phenomenal growth in near future. Improved herd health, productivity and milk output are the need of the day.
Growth of organized F&G retail has created the demand for processed milk products with longer shelf-life. This has increased the necessity of large continuous equipment manufacturers which could help increase the scale of operations and reduce the manufacturing cost.
Farmers, Scientists, Entrepreneurs, Manufacturers & Policy Makers need to be well informed about the latest updates of the Industry and know-how to produce improved and high quality products to compete with international market. ILDEX INDIA 2009 shall provide a common platform for all these. |
