Book excerpt: The Indian dairy industry has grown consistently ever since the white revolution of the 1970s, making India, the world’s largest producer of milk. Milk production in India has been growing at over 4% annually and its share in milk production in the world has increased to 17 per cent. India’s estimated milk production in 2015-16 was 155.49mt and continued to be the largest milk producing nation, which is about 6.28 per cent higher than last year. Estimated per capita availability in 2015-16 was 337 grams per day, an increase of 4.7 per cent over the previous year (Anonymous, 2016a). Despite the increase in production, a demand supply gap has become imminent in the dairy industry due to the changing consumption habits, dynamic demographic patterns and the rapid urbanization of rural India. Indian dairy landscape is dominated by large vertically integrated dairy co-operatives like Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), Karnataka Milk Federation and NDDB-led Mother Dairy. In the private sector, Britannia isn’t a vertically integrated dairy company while Nestle is only partially integrated. Products from these companies are present across the country. Other private dairy companies like Hatsun Agro, Heritage Foods, Parag Milk Foods, Prabhat Dairy and Kwality are vertically integrated dairy companies but have a largely regional presence (Anonymous, 2016a). GCMMF sells products under brand name AMUL, is the leading player in the dairy industry with a market share of 16% followed by Mother Dairy Fruit & Vegetable Pvt. Ltd. (9%), Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers Federation Ltd. (8%), GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Limited (6%) and Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers Federation Ltd. (5%). Some of the major private players include Hatsun Agro (2%), Heritage Foods (2%), Nestle India (2%), Mother Dairy Calcutta (2%), Hindustan Unilever (HUL) (1%), VRS Foods (0.9%), Britannia (0.7%) and Vadilal (0.7%).

Book excerpt: Portuguese edition (Melhor Saude em Africa: Experiencia e Ensinamentos Colhidos). Poor health in Sub-Saharan Africa has immense economic consequences. Besides the high mortality and disease rates and the pain and suffering it causes, poor health robs the continent of human capital, reduces returns to learning, impedes entrepreneurial activities, and restricts economic growth. This study argues that despite financial constraints, significant improvements are possible in many countries, as has been seen in Benin, Botswana, Kenya, Mauritius, and Zimbabwe. The book also presents positive ideas on how to make these improvements. Better Health in Africa documents lessons learned and best practices in four major areas. 1) African households and communities need the knowledge and resources to recognize and respond effectively to health problems. Threats to health should be made known and countered through public and private services. 2) Human and financial resources must be used more productively by reforming health care systems. Correcting sources of waste and inefficiency must take top priority. 3) Cost-effective packages of basic health services can do much to meet the needs of households and reduce the burden of disease. Networks of local health centers and small hospitals in rural and periurban areas can facilitate delivery. 4) Additonal funds totaling $1.6 billion a year can help those living in Africa's low-income areas obtain basic health services. Cost-sharing can make an important contribution to health equity and the sustainability of health services. The report emphasizes that no government should delay committing itself to the task, although progress toward better health will vary from country to country and no single formula will apply to all. Better Health in Africa presents action plans and yardsticks for measuring progress. The idea of the core, cost-effective package of health services complements World Development Report 1993: Investing in Health with an operationally oriented perspective on health services. The report also reflects the views of organizations such as the World Health Organization and UNICEF that will work together in helping African countries adapt and implement the report's recommendations.

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.
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.

Download or read book Global Competitiveness in Dairy Sector written by Ramphul Ohlan and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study has measured the extent of competition in the global dairy sector. Based on global competition, time series analysis has been carried out to find the past trend and future direction. The position of India has been examined and compared along with of a few other leading milk producers. The analysis indicates that over the past two decades the global competition for milk production has witnessed a downward trend. Whereas, the market share of milk production of India is increasing. This indicates that over the years the competitiveness of the Indian dairy sector has been improving. In this context, cost of milk production, farm size, infrastructure for milk collection, milk processing capacity, quality of dairy products, etc. have been highlighted to gain global competitive advantage. In addition, there is a need to manage the Indian dairy industry in a manner to enhance the production of dairy products and upgrade milk processing using innovative technologies.
Download or read book Cooperative Business System of Dairy Sector in India written by Shweta A and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current financial crisis has led to a renewed interest in the study of differences among nations in their approaches to economic activities, a method that has been labelled as varieties of capitalism (Carney, Eric, & Yang, 2009). Cooperative is a significant mode of organizing around the world that is showing resilience to the current financial crisis(Birchall & Ketilson, 2009). In India, cooperatives have 230 million members covering 100% of villages (Das, Palai, & Das, 2006). Despite cooperative"s extensive reach and impact; there is no literature on cooperatives from a business system perspective as conceptualized by Whitley. This paper applies the business system perspective(Whitley, 1999) to cooperatives and explores the extent and the ways in which institutions affect cooperative business system. We specifically explore the role of state (given its overwhelming dominance over the cooperatives in India), caste (a social institution that is unique to India) and gender. This paper explores how gendered division of labour impacts interest group and how interest group affects work system. Our initial findings have implications for extending business system framework from a caste and gender perspective. We use Rajasthan Cooperative Dairy Federation (RCDF) as a context to illustrate our thesis. RCDF was chosen because (1) Rajasthan is one of the states of India steeped in traditions. Caste and gender have a strong impact on the culture and institutions of Rajasthan; (2) Different states of India have different cultures and we wanted to control for state level effects; (3) the first author resides in Rajasthan and had access to RCDF.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For the past three decades, economic growth, with strong contributions from the private sector, has been the main driver of poverty reduction around the world. The experience of China, Vietnam, and other high-growth countries dramatically demonstrates how integration with global markets and enhanced competitiveness can develop dynamic and resilient economies. These economies improve the earnings of the less well-off by creating more, better-paying jobs. They also converge with advanced economies by achieving productivity gains. Achieving the World Bank Group’s Twin Goals of ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity requires unprecedented efforts by developing countries to unleash private sector-led growth and job creation. Governments and the private sector around the world are actively seeking more effective ways of boosting the volume and value of trade, enhancing the investment climate, improving competitiveness in sectors, and fostering innovation and entrepreneurship—all elements of successful growth strategies. The establishment of the Trade and Competitiveness Global Practice signals the World Bank Group’s commitment to systematically strengthen its engagement on these issues. "

Download or read book Lessons from Working of Dairy Co operatives Under WTO Regime in India written by Deepak Shah and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though dairy industry is the single largest contributor to India's GDP and involves over 80 million small farming households with its profound social impact, the opening up of the Indian market to an influx of foreign goods has raised much concern about the status of the Indian dairy industry in the era of WTO regime where it has to face significant competition from foreign players. The subsidies provided by the developed countries to their dairy farmers has helped them to lower their price of dairy products and consequently influencing the world prices, affecting, in turn, the farming community in developing world as this provides good opportunities for the traders to import cheaper milk products and thereby earn high profits at the expense of farmers belonging to developing world like India.
Download or read book Agro and Food Processing Industry in India written by Seema Bathla and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-04 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides different facets of India's agro and food processing industry in both organised and unorganised segments. It brings forth the topical issues having potential to accelerate the pace of growth in its employment, investment and productivity and strive for improving the global competitiveness. Using advanced quantitative techniques, it brings new evidences on inter-sectoral (agriculture-industry-services) employment and production linkages, contractual arrangements through Farmer Producer Companies, and subcontracting in the processed food sector. It also throws light on India's comparative advantage in export of primary and processed food products. With rising per capita income, urbanisation, and changing food habits of people, India is increasingly striving to improve productivity and competitiveness in agriculture and manufacturing. A concerted policy focus to accelerate private investment in food processing, largely viewed as a sunrise industry, is expected to contribute to large scale job creation and external trade not only in the manufacturing but also in the agricultural sector. Keeping this in mind, considerable insights are featured in the book at the industry and firm levels due to a significant bearing of technological, tariffs and non-tariff barriers and labour regulations on their trade intensity, employment and efficiency. Containing perspectives from the top agriculture and industry economists in the country, the book will be very useful to researchers, academicians, trade analysts and policy makers.
