Using a stratified random sample of 300 participants and structural equation modeling, the study finds a positive correlation between dairy industry growth and both employment and SME expansion. The analysis reveals statistically significant positive effects, though model fit indices suggest some limitations. The research offers policy recommendations to further leverage the dairy sector for rural development, including supporting cooperatives and women's participation. Future research directions are proposed to explore long-term effects, gender dynamics, and environmental considerations.
