Abstract: The milk processing industry is a sunrise sector that has maintained a high growth profile in recent years. It has grown enormously and gained prominence over time. The highest share of the processed food is in the dairy sector, where 35 per cent of total produce is processed, of which just 15 per cent is processed by the organized sector. Enhancing disposable income, increasing urbanisation, development of organised food retail and changing consumption patterns have been the major key drivers in the growth of this industry in India. Keeping these views into consideration, our study aims at analysing and comparing the growth and performance of milk processing industry in the states of Gujarat and Punjab and examining the operational performance of GCMMF and MILKFED. The results emanating from our study indicate that the performance of Gujarat in the milk processing sector is far satisfactory than Punjab. Even if we look at the functioning of the cooperative federations operating in both the states, GCMMF outperforms MILKFED.
