Is that a question?  A right approach is to use the float package as you
did.  I don't like it cause it redefines floats.  Another right approach
is not to make it a float if you don't want it to float....  Then you
could use something like capt-of to get a caption and increase the counter
in question.  This can be dangerous as floats could get out of order.

ATM for your example you could use either:

#+begin_mdframed
#+attr_latex: :float nil
#+LATEX: \captionof{table}{\label{milk-consumption-india}Average consumption of milk, India, kilograms per capita per annum}
| Year                            | Rural | Urban |  All |
|---------------------------------+-------+-------+------|
| 1983                            |  38.7 |  55.6 | 44.7 |
| 1993–1994                       |  50.3 |  66.4 | 54.3 |
| 2004–2005                       |  50.2 |  69.3 |   55 |
| 2009–2010                       |  51.7 |  71.6 | 57.1 |
#+end_mdframed

As caption forces float, or

#+begin_mdframed
#+name: milk-consumption-india
#+attr_latex: :placement [H]
#+caption: Average consumption of milk, India, kilograms per capita per annum
| Year                            | Rural | Urban |  All |
|---------------------------------+-------+-------+------|
| 1983                            |  38.7 |  55.6 | 44.7 |
| 1993–1994                       |  50.3 |  66.4 | 54.3 |
| 2004–2005                       |  50.2 |  69.3 |   55 |
| 2009–2010                       |  51.7 |  71.6 | 57.1 |
#+end_mdframed

Which relies on package-float's H.

The previous discussion is here:

Feel free to beat me with a patch!

You are using the float package.  It's heretic, but don't worry about
it...
