Raw material study

Pakistan: 175 million people, high milk consuming tradition

Some facts about agri-sector

• Irrigable land in Pakistan –20 million hectares

• Fodder cultivated in 2.8 million hectares, i.e. only 14%

• Fodder yield very low -24 Tones/hectare (Australia approx 70 Tones/hectare)

• Largest irrigation network in the world

• Cheap farm labor, though unskilled

(Still demand is high and supply is low)

High domestic demand

The feasibility study suggests an initial herd size of 200 Cows, which is economical to justify the overhead cost. The farm size will increase to approximately 1,000 cows within 10 years. Herd mix of 100% cows is recommended to get the maximum milk production round the year.

Proposed supply Capacity

Cost-based strategy In this feasibility study, it is assumed that all the milk will be sold to milk processing companies, dairies & milk shops etc. @ Rs. 40/liter.

pricing

Following are some of the target clients for a dairy farmer. 1. Milk outlets in local markets 2. Dairy Companies 3. Milk collection companies

The cost of production per liter of raw milk should be lower than its sale price so that farmer could feel it economical.

Target Customers

SWOT AnalysisAbout the sector

• Back bone and main stay of economy. Provides raw material for food & Leather industry. • Major source of food, i.e. Milk & Meat • Source of Farmyard Manure (FYM). • Sizeable foreign exchanges earning through exports. • Wide scope of Milk Production, ranking 5th in the world.• Ample human resource employment sector. • Stationed, Permanently located secured loaning sector. • Huge demand and supply gap in dairy sector.

Strengths

Lack of appropriate knowledge, research extension • Lack of commercially viable breeds of animal • Lack of education and initiative in farmer, traditional approach due to lack of skills and management. • Unorganized sector, unaware of basic farm management practices. • Remote area, lack of farm to market approach & transportation. • Non-availability of communication services. • Lack of farm/ market infra structures & marketing information. • Lack of record keeping on farm.

Weaknesses

Govt. of Pakistan & Sate Bank of Pakistan priority sector.

Dairy products needs are 30% higher than supply. Ample opportunities are available in the Banking

Sector. Commercially viable sector with great credit

potential and absorption capacity. Vast range of area of operation, more needs and

scope of development. Value added dairy products are in demand.

Opportunities

Implementation of WTO will result in open & competitive commodity pricing.

Due to fear of default, banker community has reluctance for lending loans.

High risks of diseases in live stock. Defective and unorganized markets. Imbalance between prices of inputs & outputs. Rising trend of cost of production with higher rate

of interest as compared to profit ratio. Lack of media projection, non-recognition of

problems and monopoly of multinationals. Lack of community organizations and out dated

farm practices.

Dairy Market Players

Proposed capacity: for 200 cows with an upper limit of 1000 cows at most.

Herd mix: 100% cows.Business status: Sole

The proposal

Location of our dairy farm is Darajke, Sadhoke 20 km off G.T road Lahore

District.

Location

Availability of land is easy because of the links of the project director over there. We need 3 acres of land for our dairy farm and it cost Rs. 3, 000, 000.

Availability and cost of land

Approach to site

Approach to the dairy farm is convenient. While coming from Ravi bridge G.T road it is 40 km and coming from Thokar Niaz baig it is 56 km approxiamately. The road is also doubled well carpeted from ravi bridge to Sadhoke. From Sadhoke to Darajke is single road but well built. Any vehicle from car to 24 wheeler truck could approach there easily.

As raw material here mostly, consists of feed and feed will be purchased from all over the Pakistan like magnesium, calcium, rice straw, fodder etc. But the most consumable feed is fodder for which the priority will be to purchase it from surrounding villages.

Source of raw material

Transportation and marketing of finished product

Our finished product has to reach to two targets1. Milk outlets in local markets2. Dairy companies3. Collection companies Milk outlets and dairy companies are easily

accessible in the areas of Lahore, Gujranwala, Sheikhupura and Sialkot. Gujranwala is further 60km through G.T road, Sialkot through Pasrur road is further 50km.

Darajke is in the center of city Kamoke and Muridke and these both cities are the hub for rice cultivation, so the availability of water is in too much excess over here. Upper Chenab canal also passes through these areas. So, the water will be attained by the canal and through boring.

Source and Availability of water

Availability of power and source

Electricity and sui gas is needed in terms of power for the

dairy farm. WAPDA is present over here at Darajke but during summer season load shedding leads to 10-12 hours. So, for this reason we have purchased a 25KVA generator to overcome the load shedding.

Sui gas commercial connection is installed in the dairy farm.

Farm has its own well-designed system for drainage of liquid effluents. As far as cow-dung is concerned, it is used as farmyard manure (FYM). Therefore, it would be sold to fertilizer companies as well as the local farmers. It is also used for household fuel requirements by the villagers.
