Abstract
The present study was undertaken in Bengaluru North to examine the supply chain management of dairy enterprise by collecting data randomly from 150 farmers, of which 40 dairy farmers each from rural, transition and urban areas and 30 non-dairy farmers. The formal supply chain involves few large processors and co-operatives which collect and market bulk milk on behalf of farmers, while the informal supply chain involved farmers, transporters and traders selling raw milk directly to consumers and hotels. The cost of concentrates was the highest in all three regions. Total cost and gross returns were highest in urban area, i.e., ` 2,46,452 and ` 3,70,407, respectively. The returns per rupee of investment was 1.48, 1.49 and 1.50; dairy enterprise generated around 206, 257 and 270 man-days of employment yearly in rural, transition and urban area, respectively. Number of female members, irrigated land and availability of cattle-shed have significant positive influence in selection of dairy enterprise. Women play a major role in dairy enterprise than men and take major decisions relating to production aspects rather than financial aspects. Average cost incurred on four major crops per acre was the higher for non-dairy farmers (` 1,04,422) and the average net returns was higher for dairy-farmers (` 50,676). The synergic effect in terms of additional net benefit realised by dairy farmers over non-dairy farmers was ` 68,078 per household and it was ` 16,061 per acre.
