Abstract

The study was conducted in Udham Singh Nagar Dugdh Utpadak Sahakari Sangh Limited, Khatima (U.S. Nagar). It is a district level milk co-operative union registered under the brand name ‘AANCHAL’. Descriptive statistical tools, multiple regression analysis and Garrett ranking were used for the study. Positive and statistically significant regression coefficients of average number of members per milk producers’ co-operative societies per month and average price paid to milk producers per month indicated that quantity of milk procurement was positively influenced by these factors. Fluctuation in prices, untimely and improper compensation, high expenses of feed and seasonal variation were the severe constraints faced by the milk producers in the procurement of milk.
