Co-operatives are likely to improve milk quality
From the point of view of a number of experts and analysts, the quality of milk will be better if individual milk producers create co-operatives. Together they will be able to buy milking equipment.
Maria Kolesnyk, a manager of the department of analytics at a consulting agency said: «If individual producers bring their cows together, unite in co-operatives societies and organize mechanical milking, the quality of the milk produced will be improved. Consequently, we will consume dairy products of better quality. Accordingly, this means better profits for the farmers. But first of all they have to make an agreement on how to use the profit, and of course they need a reliable person who can lead the co-operative. This is a very complicated issue, and it is mostly a question of trust between the farmers in their community. Local authorities of each region should help in solving the issues as they know better the situation in each village.»
