Abstract

The paper highlights the structural changes occurred in dairy sector in Andhra Pradesh. The prime factor of development in dairy sector is driven by milk production. A glaring decrease in the bovine population showed a significant negative impact on the milk production. The increase in the dairy cooperative societies and the procurement price provided by the societies has shown a positive and significant effect on the milk production. However the prominence of the services provided in the dairy sector is to be enhanced to bring about further transformation.
