Description The present study was undertaken to examine the progress of
different dairy indicators, cost structure of co-operative and private dairy
business, milk production, employment and income generation through
dairy enterprise and problems faced by co-operative and private dairy units
and milk producers in Western Maharashtra. The investigation was based
on both macro and micro level data. The time series data were used for
estimating the linear and compound growth rates of different indicators of
dairy development in Maharashtra as well as in Western Maharashtra for
the period of 28 years from the year 1981-82 to 2008-09. The micro level
investigation was based on the cross-sectional data related to milk
production and disposal for the year 2007-08. The three stage stratified
random sampling design was adopted with co-operative and private dairy
units as primary unit, milk collecting centers as a secondary unit and milk
producer households as an ultimate unit of sampling. The growth rates
have been estimated by exponential growth function and standard cost
concept were used for estimation of costs and returns. The break-even
analysis was also carried out to estimate the minimum quantities of
processed milk which the dairy unit should handle during the year to cover
total cost. SWOT analysis was carried out for knowing strengths,
weakness, opportunities and threats of a particular enterprise. The Cobb
Duglus type of production function was used for estimating the resource
use productivity and efficiency.
