The editor of the Dairy India Year-Book has claimed that his country's dairy sector is risking the loss of Indian market share by failing to concentrate on traditional products, notably liquid milk. P.R.

The only traditional product being produced by dairies in any significant scale was ghee, he said. "Traditional milk products have the potential to become a major profit centre for the organised industry, given the sheer mass appeal it enjoys," he said.
