Dairy Universe India
As in 2010 and 2011 editions, Dairy Universe India 2012 will also be jointly organised by Koelnmesse YA Tradefair, Indian Dairy Association (west zone) and German Agricultural Society (DLG). India, world’s largest milk producer, accounting for more than 13% of world’s total milk production, is the world’s largest consumer of dairy products. The total amount of milk produced has tripled from 23 million tons back in 1973 to 90 million tons in 2008 and projected demand for milk by 2021-22 estimated at 180 million tons which implies that milk production would have to be doubled.
India has a total installed, milk processing capacity of 73 MLPD (Million Litres Per Day), this is just 12% of the total milk produced which is processed by the organised sector, both cooperatives as well as the private sector which means as much as 88% share of the total milk production is commanded by the unorganised sector. The fact that dairy industry could play a more constructive role in promoting rural welfare is being recognised by different stakeholders of this industry.
All the above factors clearly indicate the enormous business opportunity at different levels in this fast growing industry. Dairy Universe India, as a platform of interaction to the dairy processing, packaging and distribution technology providers and seekers, is playing an important role in shaping this industry.

The unorganised snacks market is worth $1.56 billion, with a growth rate of 7-8 per cent per year. In India, the sweets market is split into two, hard-boiled sugar confectionery and chocolates. The size of the chocolate market is about $144 million and is growing at roughly 11% year-on-year and the sugar confectionery market is around $442 billion, of which the organised sector constitutes $266 million.

Sweet & SnackTec India on its part is playing an important role in this effort by being an ideal platform for the industry to discuss the latest trends and challenges.
