ABSTRACT
Milk and its products provide nearly one third of world’s intake of animal protein (FAO, 1998). Milk and milk products represent 27% of total household expenditures on food items in Pakistan. Per capita availability of milk in Pakistan is 82.4 kg per annum. About 80 thousand tons of dry milk, worth rupees 1213.5 million, was imported to Pakistan during 1999-2000 to meet local demands of milk. Small herd, poor genetic potential of animals for milk, low quality feeds, high risks of epidemics, improper marketing channels, lack of technical man power for dairy industry, high environmental stress, reproductive failure and high udder abnormalities, lack of commercial rations, orthodox management practices and poor extension services are the major constraints of dairy sector in Pakistan. The buffalo is the main dairy animal in Pakistan that accounts for roughly 75% of all milk produced in the country. The milk production in excess during winter and less during summer months causes many problems in its marketing. Pacca dodhis (milk suppliers) supply their milk to collection center or milk shops, usually after decreaming. Peri urban milk producers usually sell their product directly to consumers, milk shops and to larger establishments through contracts. If the pacca dodhis sell their milk to decreamer or hire his services, the milk is separated into cream and skim milk. The skim milk is mixed with other whole milk and sold to urban milk shops. The producer appears not to receive a premium for summer milk or for milk with higher milk fat content except for that paid by the milk collection centers that are operated by processors. The milk products and

    Since, wheat is a staple crop in the context of Pakistan and it is believed that wheat price has a direct impact on consumption decisions of millions of poor people and through these decisions on food security. For this imperative role of wheat in the life of urban and rural poor, food price policy in Pakistan has attracted and continues to attract huge attention. Sadly, due to such strong tie-up between wheat prices and prosperity of the deprived, wheat pricing in Pakistan has been more influenced by political consideration rather than economic rationale. Pakistan has pursued interventionist policies in almost whole of the agriculture sector but the extent to which the outcome diverges from the open market equilibrium varies greatly across different agriculture commodities. The impetus behind these interventions in the wheat market was to achieve two objectives:…

The country is the world’s largest milk producer but at the same time largest consumer of dairy products, consuming almost 100% of its own milk production.
