Dairy

Tanzania’s dairy industry has long faced challenges of low productivity due to limited access to improved breeds and modern technologies.

This move comes as the Kenyan government intensifies its investments in dairy farming to boost local milk production.

The country’s emphasis on self-sufficiency has fuelled rapid output growth, supported by large-scale modernised operations and imported high-yield cattle.

Farm-twin is a virtual replica of the entire farm system powered by real-time data from sensors, telemetry, and digital tools.

The ROI Calculator 2.0 is available free of charge online, providing a data-driven approach for farmers seeking to strengthen their feeding strategies.

A highlight of the exhibition will be the Dairy Innovations Hub, where processors will present their latest product innovations to buyers, distributors and investors.

To ensure safety, CS Kagwe announced that the government will soon launch a Good Quality Milk certification programme.

The research announcement coincided with confirmation of a major new HPAI H5N1 outbreak in Jefferson County, Wisconsin involving more than 3 million birds. 

This initiative is part of the larger five-year Meliteji-WASU project (2024-2029), funded by the Mastercard Foundation.
