Dairy strategy to improve production

Speaking at the gathering, the Minister of Agriculture, Christian De Graaff said he was aware of the problems facing dairy production and promised to personally see to it that the situation is tackled and improved. He said dairy production has great potential for economy diversification.

“Dairy industry is not doing well at all, this is evidenced by its observed decreasing total production levels in recent years in spite of the high potential demand that exists. Annual production has been going down from 8.3 million liters in 2009 to 2.9 million liters in 2013,” De Graaff said.
