Dairy Yield Quota
Full Form of DYQ
What is DYQ?
DYQ, or Dairy Yield Quota, is a regulatory mechanism used in India to manage milk production and procurement efficiently. Implemented under the National Dairy Plan by the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), it sets a predefined limit on the quantity of milk that a dairy farmer or cooperative society can supply to collection centers. This system ensures balanced supply and demand, stabilizes milk prices, and promotes better quality control. DYQ is primarily applied in dairy-rich states such as Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Rajasthan, where cooperatives like AMUL and Mother Dairy operate. It is reviewed periodically based on seasonal variations and market conditions. For students preparing for agricultural and veterinary science exams like ICAR and state agriculture service exams, understanding DYQ is important for topics related to dairy economics and policy. The quota helps small farmers by guaranteeing a fair market and preventing oversupply that could lead to price crashes.
