This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dairy Industry in Kenya promotes human nutrition, reduces poverty and creates job opportunities to those people in the dairy value chain. Dairy companies perform various activities in the milk value chain which include; milk collection, cooling and bulking, transportation, processing, packaging and marketing the end products. These activities contribute significantly to the cost of milk and therefore the need to enhance differentiation.Analyzing these activities and their interrelationships assists the processor to find sources of competitive advantage. Milk is a perishable product and its critical handling is very important to the processors. Therefore the survival of any company will depend on its competitive advantage over its competitors. Each company has an obligation to win consumers' confidence in provision of quality product and at a competitive price. This book therefore seeks to examine value chain analysis as a strategic tool to enhance competitiveness in the dairy industry in Kenya. The book also seeks to raise key issues to the main actors in the dairy industry.

Book Synopsis Dairy Value Chain Analysis by : Wolde Michael Somano
Download or read book Dairy Value Chain Analysis written by Wolde Michael Somano and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data came from 180 dairy producing households, 97 butter traders, and 81 milk traders. The crossbreed and local breed dairy farm owner are respectively 67.4% and 32.6%. Farm gate delivery to buyer, own shop and sale to dairy producers cooperative were the major dairy product sale outlets. Price, closeness and secured demand for milk were major factors considered by small dairy holders during the choice of milk sale out let. The first step of the Heckman two stages procedure/the probit model output revealed that milk market participation decision was significantly affected by age of the household head, family size, education level, experience in dairy production, number of cross breed milking cows owned and distance from milk market center. Likewise, the second stage of the Heckman estimation result revealed that marketable milk volume was found to be strongly and significantly affected by the number of cross breed milking cows owned, education level, family size, age squared and annual non-dairy income source of sampled dairy household.
Book Synopsis Economic Impact of Dairy Expansion in Churchill County Through Value Chain Analysis by : Dusty Casey
Download or read book Economic Impact of Dairy Expansion in Churchill County Through Value Chain Analysis written by Dusty Casey and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) is constructing a state of the art dry milk facility in Fallon, Nevada, which is located approximately 60 miles east of Reno in Churchill County. This plant will be the first of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, and will utilize new evaporation technology similar to that which is being used in New Zealand to create a high quality whole milk powder (WMP) for export to foreign markets. Real income for families in many foreign countries is on the rise, and as a result the demand for higher quality goods, such as dairy, is increasing. The WMP produced from this facility has a shelf life of approximately three years, which far exceeds the shelf life of most dairy products. It will be used in a variety of capacities, including single serving drink packets, infant formula supplements, and various meal supplements. Numerous factors, such as climate and quality control, limit some of these countries (like China) from producing high quality dairy products in sufficient quantities to meet their growing demand. Thus they are forced to import from established dairy markets, such as Europe, Argentina, New Zealand and the United States. Although the US is one of the world's largest and most efficient dairy producers, yielding the most fluid milk per cow of any country, they have yet to make an impact on the WMP world market. New Zealand has been on the forefront of producing and exporting WMP to the Far East; pioneering the use of today's evaporation technology and establishing the world WMP market. DFA is consistently looking for new markets/outlets for member dairies, and ultimately decided upon entering the growing world market for WMP. DFA members, along with local governments, economic authorities and the State of Nevada, worked together to bring the DFA plant to Churchill County. With its high concentration of dairies, close proximity to the Port of Oakland and friendly business environment, the region appears to be a good fit for the new operation. This paper focuses on the introduction of the DFA plant as a new industry into the local economy of rural Churchill County. Currently, there is no other dairy plant like it in the area, and thus 90% of the milk produced is exported out of state. The new plant will have the capacity to consume more than double the amount of fluid milk currently produced in Churchill County, not including existing clientèle. This kind of expansion is expected to bring growth to many facets of the local economy; providing opportunities for workers and businesses. Value chain analysis is used to analyze the implications of this new dairy industry on the local dairy supply chain, identifying value flows as well as potential opportunities and deficiencies. Next, utilizing the software program IMPLAN, an input/output model is applied to the local economy to estimate the output effects resulting from the introduction of the new milk plant to Churchill County. Results show potential opportunities and weaknesses in various parts of the supply chain, as well as numerous impacts to many direct and indirect suppliers.
Book Synopsis Domestic versus export-led agricultural transformation: Evidence from Uganda’s dairy value chain by : Bjorn, Van Campenhout
Download or read book Domestic versus export-led agricultural transformation: Evidence from Uganda’s dairy value chain written by Bjorn, Van Campenhout and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2019-11-21 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driven by increased demand from both local and export markets and facilitated by far-reaching liberalization and privatization policies, the dairy sub-sector in Uganda has undergone significant changes in the last decade. With a comparative advantage in milk production, the southwest of Uganda has started to attract considerable Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in processing capacity, mainly targeting the export market. As a result, processing capacity increased five-fold and dairy became Uganda’s third most important export product, coming from negligible amounts a decade earlier. In this study, we use observational data collected at different nodes within the value chain to compare the structure of the chain and the roles and economic activities of different actors between export-led value chains and value chains that cater for the local market. Doing so allows us to identify the technological and institutional innovations that both result from the emergence of export-led dairy value chains and at the same time drive further upgrading. Our analysis underscores the importance of milk collection centers, which often take the form of farmer cooperatives, in providing many of the support services that enable other actors in the value chain to produce sufficient milk, and maintain milk sanitation levels necessary for an export sector to emerge.

Book Synopsis Formal versus informal by : Birthal, Pratap S.
Download or read book Formal versus informal written by Birthal, Pratap S. and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2016-03-04 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite a growing dairy industry in India, farmers’ lack of access to organized markets and institutional credit remains one of the major hindrances in improving the scale and productivity of dairying. Using data from a survey of 612 households from the state of Punjab, India, this paper evaluates farmers’ choices of dairy value chains and their financing mechanisms. The study finds that 62 percent of the sample farmers representing 69 percent of the total milk sales are connected with formal value chains driven by cooperatives, multinational companies and private domestic processors. Small dairy farmers are associated more with informal value chains but they are not excluded from the formal value chains. The performance of different value chains in terms of productivity and profitability of dairying is almost on par. Also, there is hardly any difference in the milk price offered by formal and informal buyers pointing towards milk market being competitive. More than half of the farmers borrow credit both from within and outside the chain for dairying related activities. Chain-based financing is restricted to only one-fourth of the borrowers and mostly to those associated with informal value chains. Financing by commercial banks and other financial institutions is limited to only 9 percent of the borrowers, mainly larger farmers. The socially-disadvantaged and smallholder farmers are often neglected in institutional lending because of their lack of physical assets to use as collateral against loans. Value chain approach, due to its product market orientation, can serve as an entry point for financial institutions to improve their outreach to smallholders. The innovative financial products, such as ‘dairy credit card’ and ‘contract as collateral’ would enable them to adopt yield-enhancing technology and inputs and also to scale up their dairy activity.

Book Synopsis Agricultural Value Chains in India by : Ashok Gulati
Download or read book Agricultural Value Chains in India written by Ashok Gulati and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book provides a clear holistic conceptual framework of CISS-F (competitiveness, inclusiveness, sustainability, scalability and access to finance) to analyse the efficiency of value chains of high value agricultural commodities in India. It is based on the understanding that agriculture is an integrated system that connects farming with logistics, processing and marketing. Farmer’s welfare being central to any agricultural policy makes it very pertinent to study how a value chain works and can be strengthened further to realize this policy goal. This book adds value to the existing research by studying the value chains end-to-end across a wide spectrum of agricultural commodities with the holistic lens of CISS-F. It is not enough that a value chain is competitive but not inclusive or it is competitive and inclusive but not sustainable. The issue of scalability is very critical to achieve macro gains in terms of greater farmer outreach and sectoral growth. The research undertaken here brings out some very useful insights for policymaking in terms of what needs to be done better to steer the agricultural value chains towards being more competitive, inclusive, sustainable and scalable. The value chain specific research findings help draw very nuanced policy recommendations as well as present a big picture of the future direction of policy making in agriculture.
