Main production problems and possible solutions for the input supplyAt small holder level(individuals)Problem Possible Solution
High feed price but less milk price Strengthen of the linkage between farm HHs to inputs and outputs market ether in buying selling,
Shortage of grazing and hay productions land
Strengthen backyard improved forage production
Milk Price is decided by purchasers
Price should be negotiable and needs regular price monitoring
AI, Vaccine and health service Problem
Strengthen AI and health service at PA level and Regular professional visits
Source for improved breeds ,if Found highly expensive
Improved breed production should be encouraged on private and government level
Inputs or servicesWho supplies AI/natural mating?
Most of the dairy producers are getting AI service from district ministry of agriculture
Very few are using natural mating from their own selected bull
Very few are using AI and natural mating from their Owen farm level
Drags and vaccine
Drags -from private Animal drag shop
Vaccine -from Government institute and private drags shop
Equipment and other inputs?
Small holders –Uses from their Owen locally made equipments and purchased from local markets
Medium and large scale farms- From foreign and domestic markets

Sustainable system should be develop to link input suppliers with producers
More attention should be given to the sector
