A. Sachindra Babu, M. Reshma

The analysis of Global competitiveness has been carried out to identify the overall impact on production and consumption in the state. Dairy production policy should have two clear focuses, private incentives to motivate farmers and other intermediaries to achieve their objectives. In addition, the social incentive, which influences the entries society, is primarily concerned with economic growth and equity. Whether the dairy industry imposes a drain or gain to the economy? Will a drop in world dairy prices affect the trade position? What are the types of support needed for the industry in terms of infrastructure, extension and research? What are the merit subsidies that can be provided to the dairy industry? These and related issues are addressed in this analysis.
