Marginal dairy farmers desire milk marketing scope
Marginal and medium dairy farmers in the
city and its outskirts need proper milk marketing scope for making their
business profitable and sustainable together with boosting the dairy sector.
Golam Rahid, a dairy farmer of Assam Colony area in the city, said dairy
farming has now become essential in terms of fulfilling protein demands but
expensive due to price-hiking of cow feed items, medicines and other
requisite inputs.
After struggling for survival many frustrated farmers closed their business
due to financial hardship. But, their cow-sheds and other infrastructures
remained empty till now in intact condition. Mainly, they abandoned their
business due to lack of marketing facilities incurring huge financial loss.
