12% increase in milk production -ZADF

12% increase in milk production -ZADF

The Zimbabwe Association of Dairy Farmers (ZADF) recently announced that milk production in the country has experienced a notable increase of 12% during the first quarter of 2024, despite the challenges posed by the ongoing El Niño-induced drought.

ZADF’s Chief Executive Officer, Paidamoyo Chadoka, shared this information during a Township Economies and Rural Entrepreneurship forum organized by DEAT Capital in Bulawayo on Tuesday.

Chadoka further elaborated that the general trend in milk production has been on the rise since 2022, indicating a positive trajectory for the dairy industry in Zimbabwe.

“In terms of our milk production for 2023, we produced 100 million litres as a country, which was a 9% increase from the previous year. Currently, for the first quarter we have seen an increase of about 10% to 12% in milk production,” Chadoka said.

“However, the effects of the El Niño-induced drought are being felt in dairy farms. However, as dairy farmers we are also trying to implement drought mitigating initiatives in order to save the dairy herd so as to sustain milk production.”

She added that through private partnerships they have managed to come up with facilities to improve cattle head numbers.

“In view of promoting production in Zimbabwe, breeding and increasing the herd size is important for us to be able to achieve the milk volumes that we require.

“As ZADF we have a facility that is available for dairy farmers, even beef farmers that may be interested in dairy genetics, we have convectional semen straws to improve our dairy genetics on beef and dairy animals with the aim of having higher milk-yielding cows in the future,” Chadoka added.
