How to Start a Dairy Farm Business in India. Production Process of Dairy Prod...Ajjay Kumar Gupta
Dairy farming is a type of agriculture that is focused on producing milk. This is different from raising animals to produce meat. Milk can be used to produce dairy products, including cheese. Species commonly used are cows (so-called dairy cows), but goats, sheep and camels are also used. Sometimes donkeys are used to produce an alternative to cows' milk for babies. Some babies can digest donkeys' milk better than cows' milk.
Producing milk has been part of farming for a long time. In the last century, farms have become more specialised. In the 20th century, some farmers started with farms that only produce milk.

how to swap pi coins to foreign currency withdrawable.DOT TECH
As of my last update, Pi is still in the testing phase and is not tradable on any exchanges.
However, Pi Network has announced plans to launch its Testnet and Mainnet in the future, which may include listing Pi on exchanges.
The current method for selling pi coins involves exchanging them with a pi vendor who purchases pi coins for investment reasons.
If you want to sell your pi coins, reach out to a pi vendor and sell them to anyone looking to sell pi coins from any country around the globe.
Below is the contact information for my personal pi vendor.
Telegram: @Pi_vendor_247
how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

how to sell pi coins effectively (from 50 - 100k pi)DOT TECH
Anywhere in the world, including Africa, America, and Europe, you can sell Pi Network Coins online and receive cash through online payment options.
Pi has not yet been launched on any exchange because we are currently using the confined Mainnet. The planned launch date for Pi is June 28, 2026.
Reselling to investors who want to hold until the mainnet launch in 2026 is currently the sole way to sell.
Consequently, right now. All you need to do is select the right pi network provider.
Who is a pi merchant?
An individual who buys coins from miners on the pi network and resells them to investors hoping to hang onto them until the mainnet is launched is known as a pi merchant.

Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.

A Government of Botswana initiative supported by the European Union
and the Centre for the Development of Enterprise
Project is part of the CDE coordinated PSDP
European UnionGovernment of Botswana
3. ITC work in the context of PSDP
Background
CDE/ITC partnership covering:
Work on beef, tourism and horticultural sector value chains.
Advice on development of a market intelligence information system.
Value Chain analysis and development to build on existing work and identify
implementable road maps.
Identify and develop further specific interventions that could be supported by the
PSDP program.
Emphasis on exports and SMMEs as well as supporting environment.
Consistency with existing strategies, including PSDS and Michael Porter
recommendations.
Work done on beef Value Chain
Literature review, including FAO VC study, other studies/reports, statistics/surveys,
etc.
Interviews covering policymakers, private processors, communal farmers,
associations, BMC, GPS (export agent) and academics.
3
5. The beef value chain
5
Based on FAO/MOA 2013 beef value chain study
6. Botswana is a small exporter of beef in global terms and its
contribution to the economy is relatively small
6
Various sources, including ITC Trade Map
Key facts:
Global fresh/chilled export market: US$42.4bn
Botswana’s exports: US$117m
Botswana’s share of export market: 0.3%
Botswana’s rank: 22 in frozen beef, 28 in chilled
Beef contribution to GDP: <2%
Botswana’s share of UK market: 2.6%
2013 information
Steady growth trends in beef exports,
with major interruptions in 2008 and 2011
Top 4 markets account for 97% of exports
Small contributor to Botswana’s exports
7. Nevertheless the sector has significant potential for
improvement and alleviating rural poverty
7
Various sources, including 2012 Agricultural Survey
Key facts:
Cattle population: 2.2m
No. of communal cattle holders: 121,766
Communal holdings cattle: 88% of total
% of cattle sold to BMC: 43%
No. of communal: commercial holdings: 72,116:809
Average communal vs commercial holdings: 27:324
Cattle owned by male farmers: 74.6%
2012 information
Cattle numbers have ranged between
2m and 2.5m in recent years
50% of communal cattle are in holdings of
less than 50
There is a big gap in performance between
communal and ‘commercial’ farmers
9. We used ITC’s Four Gears framework to identify export
competitive constraints experienced by the beef sector
Border-In:
In-country supply-side constraints
Border:
Quality of business environment
weaknesses
Border-Out:
Export market entry issues
Development:
Social development, environment and
regional cooperation hurdles
9
10. Border-In:
Heavy reliance on traditional practices in the livestock sector leads to
unrealized potential
Capacity development
Lots of small holdings/uneconomic.
Weather fluctuations/droughts/shortage of underground water.
Seasonal capacity in slaughtering facilities (wet season vs. dry season) reduces
supply chain efficiency.
Persistent FMD in red zone reduces volumes/prices.
High overhead costs at BMC.
Capacity diversification
Need to invest in technology/R&D/production to produce different
cuts/packages/etc. for export.
Need for increasing range of processed beef.
Development of skills and entrepreneurship
Traditional pastoral methods.
Lack of commercialization in farms/passive/reactive weekend farmers.
10
11. Border:
The sector suffers from a very limited and inconsistent supporting
environment
Infrastructure and regulatory issues
Underdeveloped transport and
communication infrastructure increases
costs reduces access.
Lack of modern/flexible packaging facilities
at BMC for exports.
BMC monopoly, although risks of opening
up need to be managed.
Limited impetus behind CBT.
Politicization of sector prevents strict
enforcement.
Import restriction distorts market and can
reduce scope for exporting higher quality
beef.
Trade facilitation
Lack of independent export market
intelligence.
Lack of research into sector commerce,
diseases, etc.
11
Quality of the institutional support
DVS support constraints including limited
flexibility, little commercial orientation,
inconsistent official controls/ enforcement.
Dispersal of export responsibilities among
MOA depts. MTI needs more involvement e.g.
in regional trade agreements.
Absence of technical and economic information
available to sector participants.
Lack of strong/coordinated producers
associations.
Cost of doing business
High reliance on import inputs including feeds,
energy.
Inefficiencies in support institution increase
costs (LITS, delays in inspection, etc.).
Compliance with a wide range of certification
requirements and limitation in local testing
facilities.
12. Border-Out:
Botswana has effectively no exporting capacity, branding or export
infrastructure, and faces many risks in selling abroad
Market access and policy reform
Lack of people/knowledge/expertise/focus on trade among policymakers.
Lack of coordination at SADC level & possible misaligned priorities re. South
Africa weakens exports negotiations.
Reliance on exporting through South Africa poses risks.
Trade services support
Reliance on sole outsourced export agent presents risks.
National promotion and branding
Lack of national and product level branding.
Limited product differentiation and targeting.
Heavy concentration on UK and South Africa.
12
13. Development:
The sector’s traditional practices limit poverty alleviation and contribute to
environmental degradation
Poverty alleviation and employment generation
Traditional communal practices limit income potential.
Lack of commercialization limits capacity to generate employment.
Regional development and integration
There is a need to increase regional cooperation in trade negotiations.
More regional cooperation is needed on research and on tackling issues such
as CBT.
Environmental sustainability and climate change
Overgrazing esp. near boreholes leading to degradation and impact is
aggravated by diseases outbreaks.
Poor hygiene practices contaminates grazing areas.
Livestock/wildlife co-management including fencing creates problems.
Gender inclusiveness
There is low involvement of youth and women in the communal sector.
13
14. The sector’s weaknesses surpass strengths, but there are
many untapped opportunities
14
Strengths Weaknesses
High proportion of free-range naturally produced
beef.
Stringent production standards.
Meeting EU requirements.
Long cattle producing tradition.
Botswana’s positive image compared with many
other African countries.
Ineffective and inefficient LITS system.
High proportion of cattle in FMD-infected zone and outbreaks of
measles.
Weak extension services.
High cost structure.
Lack of commercial and modern farming practices.
Poor infrastructure.
Inconsistent enforcement of standards.
Lack of branding and absence of marketing capability.
Support infrastructure for industry not meeting needs fully.
Lack of competition in exports limits product innovation and market
development.
Opportunities Threats
Preferential access to EU markets.
Unexplored markets in region and
internationally, with increasing imports in
emerging markets.
Import substitution to export higher value beef.
Reduce input costs by producing feeds locally.
Targeting higher value segments and
commanding better price with branding and
premium cuts,
Reliance on a small number of markets targeted with a very
narrow range of products.
Reliance on sole outsourced entity for entire country’s
exports.
Disease outbreaks and droughts.
Increasing competition in global markets.
Reliance on imported inputs.
Reliance on exports through South Africa
15. Strategic vision and objectives provide the framework for
our proposed interventions and action plan, covering the

issues
Identification of land:
Banyana Farms
Communal areas with existing/potential
boreholes.
Linkage with DVS pilot.
Identification of participating livestock
farmers:
Competition?
Need ability to replace uncommitted
participants.
Selection of project manager with right
mix of practical and professional
experience.
Incentives:
BMC contract for EU supply
Access to 40-day finishing compound
Supply chain finance (with insurance)
Input subsidies, increasing over time.
Proactive dissemination
Linkage with livestock associations project.
28

sector with DVS having a regulatory
role:
Database management
Ear tagging
Tracking and updating of
information on MOA central server.
Improve interface between all
relevant MOA databases in LITS
(cattle movement, inputs, cattle ID,
farm, holding, cattle owner).
Realign flow of communication
within and between DVS and MOA
departments.
31
4. Food safety inspection
Enhance enforcement of certain
provisions of Livestock and Meat
Industries Act (LMIA).
Identify critical areas of enforcement
that require strengthening and
implement action plan.
Develop and implement strategy to
outsource meat inspections for
selected activities.
Train and provide DVS capacity to
act as regulator vs implementor of
LMIA.
Facilitate (along with CEDA and
LIMID) small private abattoirs to
replace temporary slaughtering
facilities.
32. 5. LACs
Proposed merger with Botswana Agriculture
Marketing Board (BAMB) recently approved by
Cabinet
Potential risk: Diminished advisory role of LACs
and reduced scope of PSDP intervention or need
to realign partnership
Conduct market research on demand for LAC
services and client experience from different types
of livestock producers in different locations
Improve LACs supply chain efficiencies to deliver
better services
Staff LACs and train them with skills needed by
clients
Promote and enable coordination amongst LACs,
DVS and DAP to ensure right inputs and medicines
are sourced to ensure tailored availability of
supplies

related markets demands survey in key
existing and target export markets
Appropriate development of brand,
packaging, logo etc. for export
Install new packaging lines at BMC to meet
identified export requirements
Develop export, sales, targeting capacity at
BMC
Review and update ECCO brand.
35. Needs for assistance
Issues/constraints
Staffed by part-time personnel
Lack of infrastructure and
secretarial support
Undefined common strategy
What services could associations
offer
As per RSA example
As per Namibia example
Beef producers associations
Activities
Financial viability analysis including
identification of sources of funding
Survey of members to identify needs/
services associations can offer
TA to help develop sustainable
strategies
TA/workshops to exchange ideas with
regional and international associations
Training to provide services to members
Partnership/twinning with other
association(s)
Major risk: lack of sustainability so
viability study needs to be carried out
first
