Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 3 : Denmark

The correct answer is Denmark.

• The Danish dairy industry consists of the international dairy group Arla Foods and 30 smaller dairy companies, together with processing 4.7 billion kg of milk from a total of 61 production plants in Denmark.
• The value of all Danish dairy exports totals EUR 1.8 billion annually.
• In 2010, approx. 4,100 dairy farmers each had an average of 127 cows and a milk quota of 1,142 tonnes.
• This places the Danish dairy farmers among the largest and most modern in Europe. More than half the cows live in new loose-housing systems.
• Exports of dairy products, in particular cheese, preserved milk products and butter, accounting for more than 20 per cent of all Danish agricultural exports.
• The domestic market is, to a large extent, a market for domestic dairy production, although imported cheese and yoghurt now account for approx. 25 per cent and 20 per cent, respectively, of total domestic consumption.
• Milk Production in India (Million tonnes) in 2018- 187.96.
• Denmark is basically the ideal country for dairy production. The climate and soil provide the most favourable conditions for dairy cattle farming.
