The day was established in 2001 by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations to create awareness about the benefits of milk and dairy products. The choice of June 1 was made because many countries were already celebrating National Milk Day around this period.
World Milk Day is observed every year on June 1 to highlight the importance of milk as a global food and to recognise the contributions of the dairy sector to nutrition, livelihoods, and economic development. The day also raises awareness about dairy's nutritional, economic, and social benefits. The significant day is more than a celebration. It is a movement that highlights milk as a vital and accessible food source that nourishes billions.
World Milk Day: Establishment
The day was established in 2001 by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations to create awareness about the benefits of milk and dairy products. The choice of June 1 was made because many countries were already celebrating National Milk Day around this period. A common date helped unite global efforts and enabled people worldwide to participate in activities promoting dairy consumption and sustainable dairy farming.
