Abstract:
India is the largest producer of milk in the world, with an annual production of 176.3 million tonnes in 2017-18. The study pertained to Shivamogga Milk Union Limited (SHIMUL), which was established in 1987 with its operational area spreading over Shivamogga, Davanagere, and Chitradurga districts in the state of Karnataka. There are 1061 co-operative societies in the area of operation of the Union with a farmer membership of 1,38,444. The Union presently procures 2.12 lakhs liters of milk per day and sells 1.48 lakhs liters of milk per day, and the remaining milk is used for the manufacture of value-added products of milk. Findings of the study on the Composite Performance Index (CPI) used to assess the performance of Milk producer co-operative societies (MPCS) in the jurisdiction district revealed that the performance of MPCS’s in Shivamogga was the best, followed by MPCS’s in Davanagere, and Chitradurga based on the magnitude of performance indices. Therefore, the Union needs to pay more attention to the infrastructure needs of MPCS’s in these districts and extend better facilities to members.
