New Delhi, Jan 9 || India’s dairy sector is undergoing a remarkable digital transformation that will help not only to enhance its productivity but also boost transparency and inclusiveness with farmer welfare, said the government on Friday.
India is the world’s largest producer of milk, accounting for 25 per cent of global output.
The transformation, including the development of digital platforms that connect farmers, cooperatives, and stakeholders across the dairy value chain, is being spearheaded by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).
“These systems are not just enhancing operational productivity but also ensuring that millions of small and marginal dairy farmers are directly linked to a modern, tech-driven ecosystem,” said an official statement.
The integrated digital tools include the Automatic Milk Collection System (AMCS), which has benefitted over 17.3 lakh milk producers across 54 milk unions. This ensures transparent payments and efficient operations.
