It has been recognized as an instrument to bring about socio-economic transformation. Small and marginal farmers and landless labours, who drive a substantial part of their livelihood from sell of milk, own about 70per cent of cattle in the rural areas. The study of economic aspects of dairy enterprise will help dairy entrepreneurs in taking rational decisions about allocating their scarce resources. Also the cost and return structure on dairy is an important aspect for an effective linkage between the milk producers and consumers, so that the producers get remunerative price for their milk and consumers get good quality milk and milk products at a reasonable cost. Considering all these aspects, present study entitled “An Economic Viability of Dairy Enterprises in Anand District of Middle Gujarat” was undertaken. The data were collected from 120 milk producers-farmers, spread over 12 villages of four talukas of Anand District of Middle Gujarat during the year 2007-08.The major analytical tools employed for the study were tabular analysis and production function analysis.enAgricultural EconomicsStudyThesis
