Is dairy farm business suitable for a graduate?

[mvenki30]

Hi,

My name is Venkat. I am planning to start a dairy farm initially with 20 milking buffaloes at prakasam dist in Andhrapradesh. I am moving from software job to dairy farm business. Can you please explain me how the dairy farm business is profitable in India/Andhrapradesh by considering the current indian dairy scenario.

Thanks in Advance,
~Venkat

Hi, Starting dairy farming with buffaloes wouldn't be profitable and also it will not serve your purpose of making profit.
You should start with some Cross breed cows and in addition to that you can have buffaloes.

Venkat - If you don't have a dairy background I suggest you do some homework or may be visit an existing farm to gather information. BTW, how much land do you have?.
