2) Name one state in India where large diary farming has been set up.
Answers
Answer:
India has the world's largest dairy herd with over 300 million bovines, producing over 187 million tonnes of milk. India is first among all countries in both production and consumption of milk. Most of the milk is domestically consumed, though a small fraction is also exported. Indian cuisine, in particular North Indian cuisine, features a number of dairy products like paneer, while South Indian cuisine uses more yogurts and milk. Milk and dairy products play a part in Hindu religious practice and legend.
Answer:
In Maharashtra alone, there are approximately 4 million dairy farmers, although as of 2014 Gujarat had the highest dairy output of the states and union territories of India. The livestock sector in India is characterised by large numbers but little productivity across species.
