  • Abstract:
  • Different milk and milk-oriented companies are facing complicated situation in the milk marketing field at present. New people are not willing to come in milk fields and existing milk farmers go back from this field because higher rate of production cost, lack of better Government policy and cheaper rate of return of milk. In the light of above facts, a detailed study on financial challenges and technical issues being faced by milk and milk product marketing industry is conducted. Study is conducted based on a milk marketing industry situated at Kannur in Kerala- MILK PROCESSING PLANT OF JANATHA CHARITABLE SOCIETY, VELLUR(PO), KANNUR. This society is a charitable institution which milks from farmers and produces different kinds of milk products. This study emphasized to improve their financial expenses incurred with their bier plant. In addition to the various equipment like compressor, evaporator, heat exchanger, packing machine etc., the main unit is its boiler plant, which produces steam for all the processing activities in the plant. The present fuel used in the boiler plant is firewood. Instead of firewood, heavy oil fuel or CNG is used, the efficiency is increased by 10% and expense is reduced by 40%. Radiation loss is also reduced considerably by using a compact oil burner and thereby the boiler plant becomes safer.
