Developing Micro Cattle Farms in Bangladesh Using the Inclusive Business model
Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 5
Abstract
Cattle farming is a popular source of livelihood in Bangladesh due to the abundance of milch cows. Despite this, many farmers in the country still continue to face poverty due to lack of accessibility to the market and other constraining factors. To overcome this, an inclusive business model may be developed to integrate such farmers into the product value chain of the cattle farm industry so that they can come out of poverty. This study aims to explore the potential implications of a four-year project to put 30,000 farmers in the Kishoreganj district of Bangladesh into the inclusive business model. Analyses were conducted of a planned schedule as well as costs, human resources and potential risks. In the fourth and final year of the project, changes in income, assets and other criteria like social class will be assessed to conclude whether the project will succeed or not. This project, if successful, may eliminate the need for facilitators, thereby making markets more accessible for the poor farmers who will otherwise find it difficult to escape poverty through cattle farming. Even those who do not own cattle will benefit as they will be able to earn through collecting milk, testing for quality and delivering them.
