Skimmed milk powder (SMP) and Ghee (anhidrous butter, 99% butter fat) are two of the main dairy products of India. During winter, at the peak of production, Indian dairy companies produce SMP for meeting the country's ever growing full-year demand of milk.
On this page the prices of SMP and Ghee Butter are used to calculate the theoretical value of the milk used for their production.
This page offers:
- the SMP + GHEE Payout, which calculates the valorization of milk produced in India
- a Comparison between the prices of SMP and anhidrous butter in India, Oceania, the United States and the European Union.

Payout SMP + anhidrous butter (Ghee) in India
Considering the latest prices of SMP and Ghee in India, and some assumptions, this Payout calculates the theoretical value of whole milk produced in India and processed into SMP and Ghee.
| INITIAL VARIABLES: | |
|---|---|
|
100 LT of Whole Milk with 3.5% p.p.m.g. Fat and 8.5% p.p. of Solids-non-fat (SNF) |
|
| 100 LT of Whole Milk = 103 Kg of Whole Milk | |
| PROCESSING of Whole Milk at 3.5% p.p. m.g. fat, 8.5% p.p. SNF | |
|---|---|
|
a. 3.5% p.p.m.g. Fat * 103 Kg Milk = 3.61 Kg of FAT
which produces: 3.62 Kg of ANHIDROUS BUTTER (GHEE) (Butter 99.6% fat) |
b. 8.5 %p.p. SNF *103 Kg Milk = 8.76 Kg di SNF
which produces: 9.12 Kg of SMP |
