    "content": "The Government needs to ensure that the dairy farmers have easy access to affordable farm inputs. This will go a long way in ensuring that at the end of the day, when you balance the cost of production and the output, then the farmer has something reasonable to take home. That is very important, but more importantly, in the dairy sector, the Government needs to work on the marketing channels. What has happened in the past is that the small dairy farmers have been exploited by the so-called middlemen. If the Government can come in through a framework, either legal or obligatory, that can ensure that the marketing channels are clear to everyone that the small-scale farmers wherever they are, after sweating in their farms to produce milk, can access those markets and get requisite prices for their milk. That will go a long way in addressing the concerns and the needs of these very useful and important farmers in our country."
