A USDA Foreign Agricultural Service report forecasts India's milk production at 226.5 million tonnes in 2027, up 2% from a revised 222 million tonnes in 2026. El Niño-related drought is expected to hurt feed and fodder availability and reduce animal productivity, partly offset by higher-yielding crossbred cows and government programmes.
The USDA also expects tighter supplies to curb dairy exports.
Slower milk growth and tighter feed and fodder supplies in India, the world's largest milk producer, could reduce its dairy exports and support global dairy prices. Feed-grain demand for domestic livestock may also rise as fodder becomes scarce.
