2) Objective of the Project

The major objectives of dairy market assessment and cost of production analysis are:

• To quantify the current milk production status, demand, supply, farm gate price, and the per unit cost of production of milk in project working areas.
• To identify the value chain actors associated with input supply (feed, forage, finance, insurance, medicines, and technical), collector (private, DDC, cooperative based), transporter, processor (chilling, processing, and packaging) and marketing, through rapid market and value chain mapping at local and district level.
• To identify the existing market performance and drivers of commercialization with number of market actors and transaction volume.  
• To identify the agribusiness scenario of dairy sector in our working areas along with investment opportunities, constraints and climate adaptive technology and farming on dairy sector. 
• To assess the major constraints and strategic interventions for strengthening dairy value chain through SWOT analysis along with the core and support function and identify the forward and backward linkage, vertical and horizontal linkage among the actors of value chain. 
• To analyses in which extent gender equality and social inclusion can be integrated into the development of dairy value chain (issues of women, Dalit, and PWD along the different layer of dairy value chain) and provide strategic direction for the integration/mainstreaming of marginalized group, Dalit, women and PWDs. 
• To identify the contributing factors to reversing gender inequalities and draw some general guidelines on how to design and implement gender sensitive/inclusive dairy value chain development.
