Discussion• Smallholders are intensifying milk production where marketing quality improves.• However, feeding intensity and milk yields hardly show any development. • On the other hand, households reduce milk processing and increase herd sizes.• The replacement of local cows with cross-breds appears to be the greatest change.Conclusions• Initally small-holders increase liquid milk production where milk markets improve.• Milk yield increases through intensified feeding have not yet been widely implemented ,
but will be required to maintain sustainable and profitable growth.
• Selection of 6 districts /site (2 / marketing category)• Selection of 3 villages /district• 2 producer groups / village −> 174 group interviews
Methods• Regional sites in India (3) & Ethiopia (2)• Expert classification of districts by marketing quality
(low - medium - high)
• Question: How are small-holders intensifying?
Introduction• Opportunity: Smallholders benefit from increasing
milk demand through intensification.• Assumpution: Milk market improvements drive
small-holder intensification.
