"Dairy markets offer good opportunities for non-farm rural and urban employment. The perishable nature of milk, as well as the wide range of products that it can be transformed into, presents opportunities for value addition through the use of labour. Its relatively high unit value makes the use of labour for handling and processing economically viable"--Introd.
