The present study was undertaken to explore the constraints faced by the cooperative and private dairy farmers. The constraints were prioritized using rank-based quotient (RBQ) technique. Based on the assessment, the results disclosed that the major constraint faced by the cooperative dairy industries was high competition with other industries. Maintaining the dairy industry was the most considerable constraint faced by the private dairy sector. Less remunerative price given by the dairies was the major impediment faced by the cooperative dairy farmers and inadequate availability of feed and fodder was the extensive problem confronted with private dairy farmers. Wholesalers and retailers considered that maintenance costs were the major impediment noticed. Finally, the availability of various products was the major constraint faced by the consumers
