3) Of India’s 100-million-plus dairy farmers, more than 70 million hold 2-3 milch animals per head. The cooperative movement brought the farmers together and allowed them to organize themselves at scale.
4) Amul’s shareholders are 3.6 million dairy farmers and hence the benefits directly accrue to them. In addition, creating rural institutions & connecting them directly to viable consumer markets, while eliminating intermediaries has benefitted both consumers & producers equally.
