NATIONAL DAIRY PROJE

closed

The National Dairy Development Project, which will be implemented over 7 years, consists of: (a) the establishment of some 20,000 dairy cooperative societies (DCS) grouped into approximately 50 cooperative dairy unions which will in turn be grouped into about 25 cooperative milk marketing federations; (b) the construction of dairy processing facilities with a total incremental capacity of about 5 million liters per day; (c) the provision of packaging, distribution and transport facilities to handle the marketing of project milk; (d) the provision of storage and long-distance transport facilities to support the establishment of a buffer-stock of dairy products and the development of a national marketing network to balance inter-regional disparities in milk supply and demand; and (e) the provision of training, research, and technical assistance.
