This is Prakashkumar Rathod from India again.
I want to respond to the comments of Ngouambe Nestor (Message 51) concerning farmer organizations for the Indian context.
I hope that most of us would agree that farmer organizations (referring to dairy cooperatives) have been more successful in India. They have provided multiple benefits if not the direct economic benefits at times. The dairy cooperative members are highly benefited compared to non-members. Further, dairy cooperatives also contribute to the social and economic empowerment of women members to a greater extent. However, studies have also pointed out that dairy cooperatives are facing constraints, in terms of human resources, financial, policy related and administrative, which hamper the effective functioning of dairy cooperatives. Hence, effective strategies are essential for their sustainability in India. Although the case may be different in the African context.
