The USDA projects India's milk production growth will slow to about 2% in 2027 as El Niño-linked drought tightens feed and fodder supplies and reduces animal productivity. The forecast highlights weather sensitivity in India's dairy sector.
Rural incomes, dairy prices and inflation could be affected by the slowdown.
Slower Indian milk growth tightens dairy supply and may increase demand for feed inputs such as meal and grains to offset fodder shortfalls. The effect on global dairy and feed prices is modest because India's production is largely domestic.
