Abstract
Sixty milk vendors of Namakkal district were interviewed using structured
interview schedule to study the constraints faced by them. Constraints were

general management practices, dairy training, procurement of loan, and

followed by procurement of loan (74.17%) and general management practices
(59.17%). Item wise analysis revealed that the major constraints faced by the
vendors were high investment for starting dairy units (98.33%) and number of
