11 Countries That Consume the Most Milk

Milk obtained through clean sources and hygienic procedures is very healthy for human beings. In fact, being full of nutrients, it’s a baby’s first food. Have you ever wanted to know about the countries that consume the most amount of milk? Let’s have a look on Insider Monkey’s article to find out about such countries.

Since our list is based on milk consumption per capita, some of the nations that are the biggest milk producers aren’t on it. For instance, the United States, which produce more than 90 million metric tons of cow milk per year, are ranked 16th in consumption.  Considering copious amounts of ice cream eaten every year in the US, this can be hard to believe.

India, the world’s largest cattle milk producer (roughly the equal share of cow and buffalo milk) and consumer by total numbers, isn’t even in top 100 countries in per capita consumption.  With lactose intolerance level of 87%, Indians can hardly be blamed for not drinking more milk. Quite ironic, considering that cow is Hindu sacred animal. To read more, please visit 11 Countries That Consume the Most Milk.
