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.
