"Risk Management Plan for Dairy Farmer Financial Protection Services"

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This report presents a comprehensive risk management and financial planning framework designed for the Dairy Farmer Financial Protection Plan—a proposed initiative aimed at shielding small- and medium-scale Indian dairy farmers from severe income volatility. Dairy producers frequently face devastating financial shocks from livestock mortality, cattle disease, rising feed prices, and unexpected drops in milk yield. This project outlines how an affordable community- or cooperative-backed fund can bridge the safety gap.
