The study was conducted to identify the problems in the adoption of value-added milk products. The present study was carried out in the Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu from November to December 2022. Primary data was collected from 50 dairy farmers randomly. Problem confrontation index was employed for problem analysis, entrepreneur practices were documented by case study and expert suggestions were prioritized using Mean Weighted Score. The findings indicate that the unavailability of cold storage facilities, lack of credit facilities for starting milk value-added products enterprises and lack of training facilities on the preparation of milk products were major problems in the adoption of milk value-added products. Further, the age of the respondents had a negative influence on problems in the adoption of value-added milk products. The study also revealed that preparation of seasonal demand products, availing own funds for starting enterprises, obtaining technical information from institutions, displaying their products at local shops and supplying quality own-farm products were practised by the entrepreneur. Experts suggested better government policies for the establishment of mini storage facilities at the block level, participation of hands-on training on preparation of value-added milk products and better government policies to ensure remunerative prices of value-added milk products to smallholder farmers as MSP to overcome primary problems.
