Market linkage example: cattle feed distribution through Godrej Agrovet-Spandana (1/2)
Dairy activity is a low revenue activity for farmers in spite of a growing milk demand and therefore remains a marginal source income
Milk yields from buffaloes is low because these are not fed good quality feed Farmers perceive dairying as a subsidiary activity because it only offers marginal income: they have no incentive to own more that 1 or 2 buffaloes Farmers however willing to invest in dairy (cattle feed, high quality breeds, artificial insemination) often lack the funds to do so
Initial Situation
Godrej Agrovet, a concentrate cattle feed producer, is not presence in the areas where Spandana (MFI with 700,000 clients) operates.
Objective
To increase farmers revenues from milk production through improved yield and quality of milk produced by cattle feed utilization To reduce the risk on Spandanas loans that go toward buffalo purchase Marketing the feed product to traditional / low income farmers and educating them to utilization of such product Designing a credit product that caters to the clients needs Expected net revenue increase in Guntur
300-600Rs/month/household with a single buffalo fed with cattle feed up to 2400Rs/month, ie. by 34%*, once households scale up to 4 buffalo after demonstration effect on one buffalo

Challenges
Expected Impact
Market linkage example: cattle feed distribution through Godrej Agrovet-Spandana (2/2)
Godrej Agrovet Delivers concentrate feed in 50 kg bags to central locations from where Spandana receives the product Region: Guntur Price: 325Rs/50 Kg Has assigned 2 officers to coordinate project
Demand
Spandana
Provide credit at 0% int. rate for the purchase of feed Delivers the product to weekly center meeting Has assigned 1 project leader Does not make any profit out of this initiative
Customers
Increase yields and fat % Increase income by 10-20 Rs/day Are offered doorstep delivery Are able to purchase the feed on credit at 0%
