Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims; (1)to clarify the interrelation between dairy farmers and Yili, a milk product manufacturer contracting with farmers, (2) to discuss the possible future issues based on the analysis results that the food marketing structure and fresh milk transaction.
The result shows that the interrelationship between an enterprise and the farmers proved to be a beneficial relationship for both Yili and farmers. This partnership enabled Yili's uninterrupted collection of raw milk, and it ensured farmers a sales channel for raw milk because of the complete and exclusive purchase of Yili. Secondly, it needs to structure that current arrangements between the Private-Enterprise-Linkage (PEL) type of dairy farm and the farmers seemed problematic. For instance, Yili does not produce roughage, which required farmers to look for good quality roughages outside the management of farmers.
