Abstract:

The camel rearing communities in Rajasthan are witnessing the degradation of livelihood which they were doing for decades. Camels that were previously used for the transportation of goods and men are now not a viable option due to the affordability of fossil fuel transportation. The marketing camel milk has been studied by four supply chains, viz., I: Camel rearers→ Camel milk trader→ Consumer; II: Camel rearers→ Collection Centre (Centre bear the cost of collection)→ Consumer; III: Camel rearers→ Collection Centre (Rearers bear the cost of collection)→ Consumer; IV: Camel rearers→ Consumer. The supply chain IV has been found most efficient because its marketing efficiency was 12 as compared to 0.29 in the supply chain I, 0.50 in supply chain II and 0.42 in supply chain III. There is a need to build market infrastructure with a public-private partnership to bring efficiency in the marketing of camel milk.
