Abstract

Milk marketing was studied in a hundred and fifty farms practicing mixed (Crop / livestock) farming system. The studied farms were selected randomly from three governorates: two in Delta (El-Beheira (B) and Kafer El-Sheikh (K)) representing (buffalo–rice based system) and one in Qena (Q) for (buffalo -sugar cane based system) in Upper Egypt. The study aimed to study milk production and marketing efficiency in these governorates. A questionnaire was designed and administered in the study areas to collect data from dairy farms. Data included milk yield, some reproductive parameters, milk prices, milk market and milk for home consumption. Results for cow milk yield recorded that 60.19%, 46.95% and 72.44% sold and home consumption was 39.81%, 53.05% and 27.56%. While, buffalo milk was 65.63%, 42.58% and 83.63% sold and for home consumption was 34.37%, 57.42% and 16.37% for K, Q and B respectively. Two types of traders share farmers milk revenues wholesalers; 23.44%, 12.05% and 12.18% while, retailer share were 15.63%, 17.45% and 10.71 for cow milk for K, Q and B, respectively. Buffalo milk share of the wholesale trader was 27.82%. 9.82% and 8.36% and retailers were 18.18%, 14.54% and 18.19% for the same studied governorates, respectively. From the present results it can be concluded that dairy farms can get more profits if village cooperatives or farmers associations establish to collect milk from small dairy farms.
