Asia Dairy Network Announces Development Plans


The new information exchange and development board, Asia Dairy Network, has outlined its methods to sustain dairy sector progression after aggregate Asian consumption gains over the last ten years have exceeded twice the global average.
The Network, formally launched in November 2012, has acknowledged the difficulties that face future Asian milk, with supply chain issues, improving producer bargaining power, private sector investment and sustainable production named as challenging areas.
Asia Dairy network aims to promote the industry, facilitate in the sharing of knowledge and experiences and monitor the effects of policy changes and farming through regular meetings to ensure growth is sustained.
Currently small holders account for over 80 per cent of milk produced in asia. Small scale traders making a living from the dairy value chain has also been reported to be in the millions. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation) has estimated that every 100 litres of milk produced locally, up to five jobs are created in collection, processing and distribution roles which indicates the potential economic and social impact of further progression in the sector.
A strong tradition of dairy farming exists in south asia but further east the area has seen recent growth after considerable private sector investment has developed processing and distribution facilities.
The Asia Dairy Network recognise that milk production is a constantly evolving industry with fluctuating consumption demands.
