■ Title: Changing Patterns of Milk Production and Processing in Alleviating Poverty: A Case study on Rural Dairy Farmers in Different Milk Marketing Agencies in Bangladesh

Abstract:

Dairy sector in Bangladesh is mainly governed by the informal milk market. Most of the smallholder rural farmers produce milk for self-consumption and the surplus milk is sold either to the middle men or in the local market. The number of NGOs and private agencies is attracted to milk business based on the successful model of Bangladesh Milk Producers’ Co-operative Union Ltd (BMPCUL) also known as Milk Vita. This study was carried to grasp the pattern of formal milk market expansion in Bangladesh in 2001 and 2017. It further aims to assess the contribution of different milk processing agencies in alleviating rural poverty. The Field survey was conducted at the household level in Sirajganj and Jessore districts to collect the primary data in 2001 and 2017.  It is revealed that the farmers under cooperative dairy have free access to dairy services and have received the higher price for their products as compared to the dairy farmers under private agencies.  However, the growth of milk production and market expansion of private milk processing agencies are found much faster than the BMPCUL. The main reasons for such growth and expansion of private agencies might be business motives, quick decision-making process, and the establishment of a smaller scale of processing centers in different locations.

The 113th TAOYAKA program seminar will held tomorrow as follows.

The first TAOYAKA Program’s  “TAOYAKA Student Seminar Series (TSSS) ” 2017 was held on July 12, 2017.

The series started in 2016 Fall/Winter semester and we are pleased to announce that we resumed it on July 12, 2017!  This year, TAOYAKA student Ambassadors are in charge of managing the series.

One of the unique features of TAOYAKA program is the students’ diversity in academic and career backgrounds. TAOYAKA Students belong to three academic disciplines – Cultural Creation, Technical Creation, and Social Implementation courses- from seven different graduate schools. In their third year, students from three different courses, will be teamed-up to conduct multidisciplinary research/project to deal with actual problems/issues in a society.

The series provides students with opportunities for exchanging ideas and skills between different disciplines as well as explaining their studies to multidisciplinary audience. For M2 students, specifically, this is very important opportunity to consider their team members for implementing multidisciplinary research/project.

The series usually consists of two seminars by students in two of three courses of the TAOYAKA program. This semester, the seminars take place on  Wednesdays from 12:50 t0 14:20 at the TAOYAKA classroom/Free Space at Daigaku-Kaikan.  Everyone is welcome! Please come and join our TSSS!
