The milk production in the Prakasam District of Andhra Pradesh was not in accordance with their bovine population 'because of various problems. An attempt to study the problems perceived by 120 farmers (82 males 38 females) in dairying were analysed. A comparative analysis of constraints perceived by the two genders was studied since nearly 1l.91akh rural women population is involved in majority of the activities in dairying. The analysis of problems perceived by various categories of farmers on the basis of land and animal holding and their social status were carried out and possible solutions ascertained. The small and marginal farmers owning less number of dairy animals faced more problems in terms of delayed payment and unfair price for their produce compared to bigger farmers owing larger number of animals. The latter category faced more problems in management aspects.
