Recently national milk production has not met the domestic consumption due to slow development of dairy cattle agribusiness. That is why the dairy cattle agribusiness needs to be developed to fulfill national milk consumption. Limited milk production is due to small dairy cattle agribusiness scale, low milk production capacity, and cheap selling price that is not equal to the relatively high production cost leading to low farmers' low income. In dairy cattle agribusiness the farmers are integrated with the milk-oriented cooperatives that play important role in the development of dairy cattle agribusiness. To encourage the development of dairy cattle agribusiness it is necessary to empower the cooperatives in order to improve agribusiness scale, to enhance milk production capacity, and to lower the production cost. Cooperatives empowerment is conducted through provision of improved female dairy cattle, high quality of concentrate at affordable price, and better management of the cooperatives. |
