- Abstract
The study on economic analysis of cattle and buffalo milk production and marketing in Punjab state of India, revealed that the average daily milk production, consumption and marketed surplus of milk was 9433 litres, 1575.5 litres and 7857.5 litres, respectively. A small proportion of the local cow milk produced was retained for domestic consumption. A large volume of the crossbred cow milk produced was marketed. Around four-fifth of the buffalo milk produced was marketed and one-fifth was retained for domestic consumption. The most preferred marketing channel for disposing off the surplus quantity of milk was the direct sale of milk to the consumers. The average price of a cow and buffalo milk was Rs.29 and Rs.35 per litre, respectively. Milk producers received the highest average price for cow milk from consumers and the highest average price of buffalo milk was paid by cooperative dairies.
