Over the years, the demand for dairy products has also increased substantially.

An enquiry about the expenditure pattern, income and expenditure elasticity, different influencing factors and inequalities existed in the expenditure on milk and milk products in rural and urban areas are the key features of this book. This book can serve as a good reference for students, researchers and policy makers working in the field ofAgricultural Economics.
