The place of dairy in the regionDairying in the region Dairy sector is among the critical sectors in sub-Saharan Africa with

very high potential for improving food security and welfareHousehold-level data from 12 developing countries primarily Africa

in addition to Asia and Latin America show that between 46 to 85 percent of rural households keep some farm animals more often than not a cow

Many of them are poor, which implies that increasing the contribution of livestock to their livelihoods can directly contribute significantly to the goal of reducing poverty worldwide

Between 70% - 80% of milk production is by smallholder farmers particularly in Eastern Africa region


The Status of Dairy in the regionHere lays the opportunitiesThe demand for dairy products in the Sub-Saharan Africa is

expected to grow with an average of 3.2% due to improving purchasing power and middle class, urbanization and population growth .

Unfortunately the growth in production doesn’t seem to match the demand

EAC and COMESA market for dairy products is approximated to be over US$150 million per year

A study carried out in 2004 indicated that over 90% of the COMESA and EAC market of dairy products (in value) is serviced by extra regional imports

80% of this is sourced from Denmark, South Africa, Canada, USA, France, New Zealand, Australia, the Netherlands and Poland


The bottlenecks

What is slowing the developmentLow and erratic on farm production

Over reliance on rain fed-fodder Inadequate technology and old practices

Quality Lack of incentives and poor policies

Milk consumption and market access Low consumptions particularly in the rural

areas
