VADODARA: Two years ago Shankar Rabari, a youth in Morgar village of Kutch’s Nakhatrana taluka, drove a truck and managed to earn Rs 8,000 a month. However, he even lost that income during the Covid-19 induced pandemic. Jobless, Shankar returned to his ‘family business’ and today, earns Rs 32,000 a month as a camel herder!
Shankar is one of the several young ‘maldharis’ in Kutch who have retraced their steps to their homestead to eke a living from camel dairying.
Goat milk has caught fancy of health freaks for whom it is light on stomach, easy to digest and has high-quality protein.
VADODARA: For nearly two decades, Bhoja Saniya, a sixth generation ‘maldhari’ was selling his goats’ milk either to small time tea vendors or as ‘mawa’ and ghee to unbranded local dairies. This loose trade would earn Saniya, who owns 100 goats and 200 sheep, a paltry Rs 15 per litre of milk. But was in the past.
Now, the tribal maldhari herdsman is getting his money’s worth after organised players have started buying his goats’ milk for Rs 35 a litre to produce frozen goat milk, goat milk powder and even goat milk soaps to be sold in both national and international markets.
