Regarding regular payment of milk money to the farmers, the relevant bodies are unable to give a clear plan or solution. Many speakers who spoke at the 'First National Dairy Expo' held at Bharatpur in Chitwan expressed their ignorance about the payment made by representatives of the government-owned Dairy Development Corporation (DDC) and private dairies.

Rajendra Prasad Adhikari, Acting Deputy General Manager of the Dairy Development Institute, who participated in the discussion on the second day of the three-day expo, said that there is no situation to pay the farmers without taking loan subsidy from the government. He said, "We will be able to pay the amount to the farmers only if we get a loan from the government or sell stock abroad and domestically."

Likewise, Rajkumar Dahal, President of Dairy Industry Association and Pralhad Dahal, President of Nepal Dairy Association admitted that it is not possible to pay all the dues of the farmers in the current situation. According to them, this problem comes from not being able to sell stock more than intended. According to Amar Bahadur Kunwar, President of the Central Milk Cooperative Association, the farmers have yet to receive nearly two and a half billion rupees from the Dairy Development Institute and private dairy industry.  The farmers present in the

discussion complained that the main reason for not getting regular payment for milk is the weakness of the leadership and policy making. Farmer Pradeep Timalsina said that the problem has arisen in Nepal due to powdered milk and dairy products brought secretly by Nepali industrialists from India. He said,  "If the import of powdered milk from India was banned, there would be no 'milk holiday' in Nepal and the farmers would get regular money." 

Krishna Prasad Sapkota, chairman of Ganganagar Dairy Cooperative in Chitwan, said that the cooperative had to take a loan from the bank and pay the farmers after the industrialists did not give them money.  

National Dairy Development Board Executive Director Dr. Rajendra Prasad Yadav said that they are coordinating and cooperating for the payment of farmers. He said that the board is active to increase production with the use of technology. Director General of Animal Services Department Dr. Umesh Dahal said that the policy of producing more with less investment of farmers is being worked on and the department will be active to solve the problem of animal insurance.
