  • Abstract:
  • The COVID-19 epidemic has caused tremendous problems on a global scale, impacting several industries, including agriculture. The purpose of this abstract is to help readers comprehend the financial strain that Indian dairy farmers endured throughout the pandemic. Millions of rural communities in India depend on dairy farming for their livelihoods, making it a vital part of the country's agricultural landscape. Nonetheless, the epidemic caused numerous disruptions in this industry. First off, the dairy industry was badly hit by supply chain interruptions, which made it more difficult to transport and distribute milk and dairy products. Farmers had trouble getting to markets and processing facilities, which resulted in decreased sales and financial losses from spoiling. Second, as customer behavior changed in the face of lockdowns and economic uncertainty, shifting demand patterns appeared. Panic buying first drove up demand, but when buying power declined and markets closed, sales prospects decreased as well, severely pressuring farmer incomes. The adaptations dairy farmers made to these obstacles are also covered in this abstract, including how they improved farm management techniques, explored other marketing options, and diversified their sources of income. It emphasizes how farmers have persevered in the face of extraordinary financial hardship. With the use of qualitative analysis of source data, including farmer surveys and interviews, this study seeks to offer a thorough grasp of the economic pressures that the dairy industry in India encountered during COVID-19. The results will be useful in policy talks about bolstering resilience and providing future-crisis help for farmers.
