Following India's rising production trend, forecast for 2014 production of combined butter and ghee (clarified butter) has been increased approximately by 3 percent over the year 2013 to 4.88 million metric tons as a result of increase in income of an average Indian consumer leading to increased domestic demand. India ranks first in the world in milk production and it has gone up to about 127 million tons in 2013. The country accounts for around 17 percent of world's total dairy production.
