The average sale price of milk per litre has been taken as Rs.25.00 for buffalo milk and Rs.20.00 for cow milk.
Very volatile milk and feed prices present a challenge for dairy farming. Costs to produce milk differs significantly – the range is from 4 to 128 US-$ per 100 kg milk. From 2000 – 2012, cost of milk production increased in all countries analysed. Cost of milk production in China is estimated 50% above the level in US and Germany. Annual benchmarking a part for strategic dairy development and milk sourcing. Overview. Monthly milk cost-of-production (COP) estimates, and annual milk COP estimates by State and size of operation are shown below. Estimates since 2010 are based on the 2010 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) data from milk producers. The best fitting regression between cost of milk. Benchmarking Cost of Milk Production Journal of Reviews on Global Economics, 2 014, Vol. 3 267 production and milk yield was observed in 2009 (R 2 = 0.43) indicating that an increase of 1000 kg milk was associated with the increase of about 3.6 US-$/ 100 kg. The average milk production per lactation has been taken as 3,000 litres in case of buffalo and 3,600 litres in case of crossbred cow. 6. The average sale price of milk per litre has been taken as Rs. 25.00 for buffalo milk and Rs. 20.00 for cow milk. The average cost of milk production in all analyzed farms was 42 US-$/100 kg ECM with a range from 16.9 to 97.3US-$/100 kg. The highest costs were observed in Western Europe (53.6 US$/100 kg ECM) due to higher input costs. In contrast, the lowest cost (30.41 US$/100 kg ECM) was observed in Asia. n 2001 India became the world leader in milk production with a production volume of 84 million tons. India has about three times as many dairy animals as the USA, which produces around 75 million tons, over 80 percent being kept in herds of 2 to 8 animals. Annual milk yield per dairy animal in India is about one tenth of that achieved in the USA and about one fifth of the yield of a grass-fed New Zealand dairy cow.
