Abstract:
Promote dairy farmer group development along the lines currently being pursued by SHDDP and
Austroprojekt, with emphasis on milk collection, and provision of feeds and reproductive and
health services. Farmer groups are expected to have an advantage over both informal milk traders
and private processors in that, while offering farmers reliable milk outlets, they are well placed to
simultaneously provide inputs and services such as Al. This comparative advantage should be
clearly targeted in dairy development efforts
