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...
