Meanwhile, there could be lessons drawn from other sectors, particularly India’s dairy industry. The key takeaway is that raising production alone is insufficient; farmers also need an organized system to collect their produce, connect them with processors, and ensure timely payments. India’s dairy growth has been driven by both public and private sector participation. Government initiatives, particularly Operation Flood, strengthened cooperatives, veterinary services, and milk procurement infrastructure, while private dairies invested in processing, cold chains, and distribution. Together, these efforts improved productivity, market access, and farmer incomes, making India the world’s largest milk producer.
