The state of Tripura has announced a roadmap to achieve self‑sufficiency in dairy production, aiming to boost local milk supply and strengthen the dairy sector.
The Government of Tripura has unveiled a comprehensive plan to make the state self‑sufficient in dairy production. The roadmap outlines steps to enhance milk yield, improve livestock management, and upgrade processing facilities across the state.
Key components of the plan include the introduction of high‑yield cattle breeds, expansion of fodder cultivation, and training programs for farmers on modern dairy practices. The state also intends to strengthen its dairy cooperatives and establish cold‑chain infrastructure to reduce post‑harvest losses.
Officials say the initiative will create employment opportunities, increase farmers’ income, and reduce the need for milk imports from other states. The roadmap is expected to be implemented over the next five years, with periodic reviews to assess progress and make necessary adjustments.
