Khoya is sourced from the rural areas surrounding Almora, and its production and marketing play a vital role in supporting the local economy. In light of this, a comprehensive study was conducted to assess and rank the challenges faced by khoya producers throughout the production and marketing processes.To conduct this study, various constraints were identified, and a sample of 200 khoya producers supplying their products to nearby markets was selected through a multistage sampling approach. These producers were personally interviewed to gather insights into their challenges. The study employed the Garrett ranking technique to determine the relative importance of these constraints in the khoya production and marketing context. The findings of the study revealed that in the production stage, the most significant challenges were a lack of knowledge concerning cattle disease symptoms with mean score of 58.16, high cost of feed for dairy animals, with mean score Original Research Article
