Abstract
88 words
Low viability indicators and high operating ratios indicated poor
viability in the smallholder sector, with the exception of rich
farmers. Variations in gross margins were associated with
heterogeneity of farmers in resource endowments, allocation
of resources and management. It was also shown by positive
the relationship between returns per cow with the number of
milking cows owned by farmers. Improved technologies also
had positive effects on gross margins. Family labour and feed
costs were the major expenses; hence the use of cost feeding
strategies could potentially improve viability.
