India will expand its milk production by 10pc annually as developed countries look at reducing their herds, the head of one of India’s largest milk-processing facilities has said.

“If other countries have issues with their cattle and milk production, it’s good for us — markets open for us,” head of Dudhmansagar Dairy Prateek Kumar Mudgal said.
