Contract Farming for Gir Cow Milk
Introduction
This project report proposes a contract farming model for the production of Gir cow milk. The aim of this model is to empower farmers to rear Gir cows and produce milk, thereby enhancing their economic strength.
Plan:
Under this plan, we will provide farmers with 10 Gir cows, the cost of which will be covered through bank loans, and we will also take care of their EMI payments. We will provide fodder, veterinary care, and other necessary facilities for the cows. We will purchase milk, dung, and urine from the farmers at good prices.
Benefits
For Farmers:
- Regular Income: One cow produces an average of 10 liters of milk per day. With 10 cows, this will amount to 100 liters per day or 3,000 liters of milk per month. At a rate of ₹40 per liter, farmers will earn ₹120,000 per month and ₹1,440,000 per year.
- Additional Income: Farmers will also earn extra income from the sale of dung and urine.
- Employment Generation: This plan will create employment opportunities for farmers’ families.
- Training for Cow Care: We will provide training to farmers for the proper care and management of cows.
For Us:
- Supply of Quality Milk: We will receive a regular supply of fresh and high-quality Gir cow milk.
- Use of Dung and Urine: We will utilize dung and urine to produce organic fertilizers and other products.
- Contribution to Rural Development: This plan will contribute to the development and prosperity of rural areas and farmers.
Timeline:
This plan will be implemented for a period of 5 years. After 5 years, we will send the elderly cows to our cowshed and provide new cows to the farmers.
Financial Analysis:
The estimated investment and benefits of this plan are as follows:
| Item | Investment | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Cost of Cows | ₹1,000,000 | ₹7,200,000 (over 5 years) |
| Fodder, Veterinary Care, etc. | ₹500,000 per year | ₹1,440,000 per year |
| Total Investment | ₹2,500,000 | ₹8,640,000 (over 5 years) |
| Profit | ₹6,140,000 (over 5 years) |
Conclusion:
This contract farming model is beneficial for both farmers and us. It will make farmers economically stronger and provide us with a supply of quality milk and other products. We are committed to implementing this plan and believe it will significantly contribute to the development of rural areas.
Request for Government Departments:
We request financial assistance and other necessary approvals from government departments to implement this plan. We are ready to work with government departments to make this plan successful.
Additional Information:
We plan to implement this scheme in various states. We will work to increase awareness among farmers about Gir cow rearing and milk production.
