The few traditional rural producer households that are engaged in layer farming in Jharkhand are constrained by high input costs (such as pullets, feed, vaccinations), a high disease-based mortality rate, and poor access to credit, making it a less remunerative income source. Cereal-based feed is imported from Andhra Pradesh, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, thereby escalating input costs1. Jharkhand is dependent on egg imports from neighboring states, thus presenting a promising marketing opportunity within the state. However, low and fragmented production, coupled with poor market linkages and inefficiencies make it a challenge for households to realize remunerative prices from their produce. As a part of its diversified and resilient production systems component, the JOHAR project has invested in layer farming under the livestock development sub-component, with the objective of improving rural livelihoods in Jharkhand. This note investigates a layer co-operative's federation, operational and production model as well as financial feasibility. An operational co-operative in Basia block, of Gumla district, was used as a case and analyzed in detail. 2020-11-02T20:44:20Z 2020-11-02T20:44:20Z 2020-03 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/980591591191474770/Building-Rural-Poultry-Supply-Chains-To-Enhance-Incomes-Through-Community-Driven-Interventions http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34713 English South Asia Agriculture and Rural Growth Discussion Note Series;No. 16 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research South Asia India
