EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This study covered the milk value chain in Andhra Pradesh and was carried out during April to August,
2016. Milk value chain was selected because of its importance to the food security and economy. Andhra
Pradesh holds a strong position in milk production. About 80% of rural population of Andhra Pradesh
practices a mixed crop and livestock based farming system. The state ranks fifth in terms of production
and has a productivity higher than the national average. Dairy is also a major source of ancillary income
contributing USD 15-25 every month (~20% of total monthly income) towards household income.
Case study methodology developed by Save Food was used in the research process, it focuses on iden-
tifying the symptoms and causes of food loss and finding relevant solutions, using a phased “4S” ap-
proach consisting of Screening (secondary research from documents, reports, and expert consultations),
Survey, Sampling, Synthesis (root cause analysis and solution finding). Case study is just a one-moment
recording of what is happening in a specific food supply chain in a specific season; next season and in
a different location the situation can be very different again. The methodology also takes into account
environmental, social and food safety aspects so as to be able to come up with well-rounded solutions.
The strategy aims at using the results of the case studies to target opportunities for further detailed stud-
ies with wider scope that can lead to concrete investment programs and interventions.
Liquid milk value chain for Krishna and Ananthapur districts were selected for primary survey. Krishna
district is the first district to implement operation flood program in Andhra Pradesh with organized
cooperative structure, high milk productivity and orderly markets. Ananthapur district is characterized
by low milk productivity, low market access and is highly dominated by unorganized market with major
incidences of recorded adulteration in milk (Raw milk).
The study covered both formal and informal channels of milk supply chain. Formal trade is channelled
through Milk Collection Centers (MCC)/private aggregators where milk is collected from farmers. Milk
procured by MCC is further chilled at chilling center. At the processing center, the chilled milk procured
from the various MCCs and chilling centers is pasteurized and packed. The packed milk is then marketed
through private retailers/milk stations and consumer shops.
The results of the study suggest that losses during the early and middle stages of the food supply chain
are higher than later stages. Gaps were observed at the farm level, milk collection center (MCC) and the
chilling center leading to losses. Rejection of the milk at MCCs and chilling centers due to non-compli-
ance with quality standards and spillage losses during transportation are major reasons for food loss.
The root causes for the deteriorated quality are unhygienic management and milking practices, unethical
practices like milk adulteration, lack of price incentives for good quality milk. The losses at the chilling
center are also due to the late arrival of the trucks from MCCs, leading to higher microbial load and
subsequent rejections. Food Safety is a major concern in this sector. Adulteration of milk, antibiotic
residues and presence of aflatoxin M1 are important concerns in this sector. The environmental and
social impact of the dairy sector is also briefly covered in the report. The report suggests potential solu-
tions like the introduction of adulteration test kit at milk collection centers and capacity building which
would help mitigate the above mentioned losses. These were discussed and validated at the stakeholder
consultative workshop. Additional solutions that were suggested during the consultative workshop in-
clude milking a cow thrice a day instead of twice (this helps in emptying udder and reducing contami-
nation) and forming village level committees, farmer groups to ensure instil practice of 100% testing.

Andhra Pradesh’s (AP) dairy sector is vibrant and built on experiential knowledge and resilient local
cycles of production and consumption. It is categorized into formal and informal market. Even today,
dairying in Andhra Pradesh is dominated by the “informal market” which is a market built by the small
farmers, milk vendors, and consumers. In this informal marketing channel, the raw milk procured from
farmers is distributed to end users by milk agents/vendors. The “formal market” is an organized market
built by private dairies and cooperative milk production societies for producing pasteurized milk and
other value added milk products.
According to estimates of year 2014-15, the districts of Guntur, Krishna and Prakasam ranked the high-
est in maximum productivity of milk in Andhra Pradesh. The total milk production from these top 3
districts is approximately 1.2 million MT per year per district and low productivity districts such as
Ananthapur, Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Kadapa account for 0.7 million MT per year per district.

In urban areas, the consumers still prefer ‘fresh’ milk straight out from the dairy farm in comparison to
pasteurized packaged milk thereby increasing the demand for the unpasteurized milk and increase in the Packaging Retailer
milk trade through the vendors or milk agents. Seventy percent of the producers prefer to work with the
milk agents rather than the formal sector as this is mainly driven by relationships of several years, con- Packaged Liquid Curd, Butter,
venience, ease of labor (since the vendors do the milking in the producer farm), extending microfinance Distribution Milk Milk, Paneer Consumer
(vendors provide short-term loans to the dairy producers) and fixed pricing irrespective of the fat and
SNF percentage. The increase in the demand for unpasteurized milk in the urban areas is major as it is
fresh, creamy, thickness of the curd and also the possibility of price recovery by the consumer if the
milk is spoiled after boiling. However, in the informal sector, the chances of adulteration particularly
with water are high, as there is no mechanism to check the quality of the milk reaching the consumer.
In the formal sector, the small business owners who trade in milk and milk products and operate from
fixed establishments like shops and mandis (local market) from a designated spot or place have to obtain
license/registration to carry out their dairy operations in these places, as per FSSAI order. In both the
formal and informal trade, milk is collected in both the morning and evening.

 4. THE FOOD LOSS REDUCTION STRATEGY-CONCLUSIONS AND RECOM-
MENDATIONS
A. IMPACT OF FOOD LOSSES IN THE SELECTED FSC.
The following are the observations and conclusions made after surveying various stakeholders in milk
value chain:
OBSERVATIONS:
1. Quantitative losses at the production level affect the socio-economic lifestyle of the small and mar-
ginal dairy farmers. There are losses in production that go unrecorded due to inadequate nutrition
and poor conception rates leading to non-realization of the genetic potential of the dairy cattle. The
small farmer doesn’t perceive these losses due to lack of awareness. On the other hand, lack of
timely veterinary services and improper management practices lead to milk losses due to mastitis
and other reproductive problems. Low productivity and high input costs including labor are driving
many dairy farmers away from the industry. This may have a long-term negative impact on coun-
try’s milk production. These losses technically do not form part of milk supply chain food losses
since they are factors before the milking. Adoption of portable milking machines and capacity
building measures for the farmers may help in reducing these losses.
2. Rejections at the MCCs and chilling centers due to spoilage of milk in case of high microbial load
affect the dairy farmer as well as village cooperative society on the economic front. Lack of aware-
ness and unhygienic milking and cleaning practices lead to high microbial load in the milk. Unvi-
able MCCs may lead to closure of the unit, which will deprive the small dairy farmers of proper
market access.
3. Faulty or manipulated LR machines, used for measuring fat and SNF in the MCCs, result in loss of
trust in the formal sector forcing the farmers towards the informal trade, where they are subject to
the pressures by the middle man. It is observed that the farmers in the lower strata and women feel
that they are the ones who are subjected to this discrimination more.
4. The labor intensive dairy industry, including milking, fodder cutting and transporting, keeps the
woman restricted to cleaning and supporting roles in the back yard dairy farming. Even the woman
labor involved in medium and large dairy farms are recruited to mainly undertake the cleaning and
farm maintenance roles. Lack of awareness with regard to nutrition and management practices also
is a challenge for the woman dairy farmers.
5. Due to high input costs, labor intensive work and losses in milk supply chain, the dairy farmer is
also not able to grow socially in the hierarchy. The profession is not looked up as a decent, respect-
able one in the rural community. Adoption of modern technology in milking and management may
alleviate this problem.
6. Adulteration of milk, when detected at the MCCs and chilling centers leads to rejection of the lot
resulting in quantitative and economic losses. In the case of the informal sector, it leads to qualita-
tive losses in the nutrition of the milk to the consumer. This is mainly a result of unethical practices
for illegal profiteering motives. Lack of strict monitoring and punishment allow these practices to
continue unabated. However, left unchecked this has potential health hazards to the huge milk con-
suming population of India, particularly to children. Further, the high prevalence of adulteration
also potentially prevents the milk from entering higher value processing chains. Adulteration in
some cases happens with the connivance of the people in charge of MCCs. Constant monitoring of
the testing equipment by the Dairy cooperatives has reduced these practices in the FSC, though not
completely eliminated. This is substantiated by the increasing procurement volumes in the formal
sector in Krishna district over the last 3-5 years, which is attributed to the increasing trust in the
system.
7. Losses in the milk supply chain also may lead to a more skewed demand to supply ratio, thereby
forcing the country to import milk to meet the increasing demand for milk and milk products. Even
34 | P a g e
Page | 34
the negative perception about quality of milk available, may also lead to consumers opting for other
protein and nutrition sources.
8. A large number of rural families depend on the dairy industry, both for self-sustenance wherein
milk produced in the backyard farm is used for consumption and as an assured source of income to
support the income from agriculture farming or manual labor. Losses in the milk supply chain will
not only lead to malnutrition at the producer family level but also deter the socio-economic growth
of a large number of marginal dairy farmers.
9. Inadequate milk procurement due to losses in supply chain may also affect the sustainability of
dairy cooperatives and private dairies. This can have a potential impact on the future investments
by private industry and other large players in infrastructure and processing.
10. Environment aspect: All sites visited had operations based on (fossil fuel-based) grid connected
generators. Renewable energy such as solar power is not deployed anywhere and energy efficiency
measures were also not in place. However, most actors expressed that they would consider solar
power as a potential energy source for the future, on the condition of government subsidies. Biogas
plants have also been implemented at household level in the region but have been a failure to a
large extent. The main reason was reported to be maintenance constraints and operational limita-
tions, such as insufficient manure. As for technology needs, especially cold storage, no one re-
ported a need for improved cold chains to increase efficiency or reduce milk losses in the value
chain.
B.FOOD LOSS REDUCTION STRATEGY
FOOD LOSS REDUCTION MEASURES
PORTABLE ADULTERANT TESTING KIT:
1. Formal Sector: Cooperatives supported by the government should provide adulterant testing kit at
every MCC to ensure milk quality assurance. These societies will also be responsible for creating
awareness among the farmers regarding the milking time, which will, in turn, reduce the spoilage
of the milk by the time, it reaches the chilling center. Training the district’s dairy industry players
like cooperatives and private dairies on hygienic milk handling and quality testing including the
use of standardized equipment and reagents. Enhanced industry regulation to carry out quality sur-
veillance of milk for increased compliance to standards through training of dairy inspectors, pro-
curing of inspection tools and setting up a regulatory laboratory will improve the quality and quan-
tity of the produce and reduce the losses.
2. Informal Sector: Establish adulterant testing centers in 10 villages where trained women can carry
out the quality check for the milk that goes through informal sector. Para-veterinarians / technicians
can train the women on the protocol of adulterant testing in milk. Self-help groups and Panchayat
(village council) activities supported by government will manage these centers and reduce the
losses in their area of operation.
3. International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics(ICRISAT) have devised a fast,
simple and affordable test kit for detection of aflatoxin that uses a competitive enzyme-linked im-
munosorbent assay (cELISA) to rapidly detect the presence of aflatoxin. The new detection kit
claims to cut the cost of testing to $1 per sample. The suitability for milk and widespread practical
application of this in milk chilling centers need to be studied.
4. Other important measures in the right direction that are already in Andhra Pradesh Government’s
plan5 are to strengthen the food quality testing laboratories with high precision instruments to not
only test for aflatoxin but other toxic contaminants; promote IPM to reduce high pesticide levels;
and promote soil test-based fertilizer management to reduce nitrate levels and improve plant nu-
trient contents. The introduction of a quality certificate to certify the product to be aflatoxin free
would help in promoting knowledge among consumers and supply chain actors; help farmers to

of Fat and SNF, a number of critical areas need to be addressed to reduce milk losses along the milk
supply chain, promoting collective milk marketing and raising awareness on ethical practices. The fol-
lowing strategic measures may be considered for introduction by the stakeholders:
• Promotion and advancement of a quality-based milk payment system.
• Training farmers on farm management practices that also improve efficiency of milk production and
handling
• Training dairy industry players on hygienic milk handling and quality testing including the use of
standardized equipment and reagents.
• Enhance industry regulation to carry out quality surveillance of milk for increased compliance to
standards through training of dairy inspectors, procuring of inspection tools and setting up a regula-
tory laboratory. This training should be in particular to enhance the quality and safety of milk on the
farm and at the early stage of the production.
• Promotion of cold chain throughout the supply chains.
• Promote and improve production and commercialization of traditional and value-added dairy prod-
ucts.
• Rigorous implementation of the FSSAI act to prevent milk adulteration and to ensure the mainte-
nance of milk quantity and quality measurement standards using accurate equipment. Regional qual-
ity control and measurement labs will also go a long away in assuring the consumers about the quality
and safety of milk.
The food loss reduction measures and strategies as suggested earlier were discussed during the stake-
holder consultative workshop. Some of the additional points that came up are listed below:
• Milking practices is a factor that influences production and contamination. The animal should be
milked thrice a day instead of two times that is being followed widely now. This increases the pro-
duction of the animal by 5%. It further reduces contamination of the milk as the udder gets emptied
completely resulting in quality milk
• Formation of Farmer Producer Organizations/ cooperative societies/ village level committees to fa-
cilitate and promote adulterant testing and to ensure 100% testing
• Capacity building and awareness creation on clean milk, clean udder, testing, adulterants, value
added products need to be promoted
• Cold chain facilities to be promoted such as the installation of bulk milk chillers. This will contribute
to increase the quality of milk and reduce spoilage in summer season

D. FOLLOW-UP ACTION PLAN/ CONCEPT NOTE

Poor awareness of management practices leads to low productivity of the dairy cattle reared by small
and marginal dairy farmers. Milk rejection due to high microbial load and adulteration cause major
quantitative economic losses for the dairy farmer and qualitative nutrition losses or health safety issues
for the consumers. Women working at packaging section

To address these issues that arose during the screening and field survey studies, we propose an action
plan in the targeted FSC.
The intervention of adulterant test kit could be implemented with CSIR’s newly developed technology
solution – Ksheer Scanner. Government could step in to provide the scanners at a subsidized rate to
