1. Perishability: Pasteurization has overcome this weakness partially. UHT gives milk long life. Still perishability is there at the milk vendors end. This does result in loss of some production. But Amul Dairy is taking steps to store milk at the vendors end. Surely, many new processes will follow to improve milk quality and extend its shelf life.
2. Lack of control over yield: Theoretically, there is little control over milk yield. A lot depends upon the monsoon in the country. This is because of the quality of cattle feed that would be available will not have the required nutritional content. Steps are taken to provide awareness regarding these and the penetration of quality feed is being increased. Moreover, increased awareness of developments like embryo transplant, artificial insemination and properly managed animal husbandry practices, coupled with higher income to rural milk producers should automatically lead to improvement in milk yields.
3. Logistics of procurement: Woes of bad roads and inadequate transportation facility make milk procurement problematic. All these factors lead to perishability of the procured milk. But with the overall economic improvement in India, these problems would also get solved.
4. Erratic power supply: The erratic power supply would cause harm in the processing of milk.
5. Underdeveloped systems: There still exist underdeveloped raw milk collection systems in some parts of the country. However steps are being taken such as setting up of cold storage points at key collection centers to combat the situation.
6. Lack of proper implementation: Dairy development programmes have not been fully implemented as per the needs of the region in different agro-climatic zones.
7. Infrastructure: The infrastructure that is available is not up to the current world standards. Also lack of infrastructure for offering dairy business management programmes to the trained personnel is creating a hindrance.
