IMPROVE YOUR SMALL-SCALE DAIRY FARMING


Small Scale Dairy farmers are fond of consuming milk from their local breeds and hawking the remaining to local consumers creating unnecessary competition among themselves.
As a farmer, commercializing this sale can earn you a better deal with your milk.

Coming together creates a better bargaining power in terms of milk pricing. As a group, you can collect your milk and sell from one point.
You can as well obtain a cooling plant as a group to store your milk as you sell it to avoid disposing it off at a cheap price due to lack of storage facilities since milk is highly perishable.

You can as well be easily accessed by animal officers for advice on animal care and you can demand service with a stronger voice and affordably rather than going alone.
You can as well form a Dairy Center where consumers obtain milk from after you as farmers deposit it there.
This can as well help you earn in lump sum either weekly or monthly and such funds can be used for a worthy cause compared to the daily cash you earn by hawking your own milk.
