Farm Listing Project together with the Health Care Project and the Raisers Milk Product have been set up for solving the low productivity of raw milk problem. This study consequently aimed at comparing the productivity of those who joined and not joined in the project when the investigation was made to see if the project as such could help increase the productivity of raw milk and to find out the derivation of productivity growth, as far as the technology progress and efficiency change were concerned. Those who joined in the study were purposively sampled and assigned in two groups of 24, both groups had comparatively possessed farms of the same size and environment-the number of cows, employees and members in the family. The data derived during the period of 6 months starting from January 2539 B.E. to December 2544 B.E. was analyzed. The study showed that those who joined in the project have higher productivity growth than those of whom did not join in the project. Those who joined in the project had shown more technology progress and more efficiency change than those of who did not join in the project. However, the consideration to be put upon producing factors should be made since they could affect the producing capacity both directly and indirectly. They could also affect the source of productivity growth. The study then could not supply the clarification clearly.
