About the partnership

Agromaco purchases fresh milk from smallholder producers (in addition to production on its own dairy farm) for processing and resale. The partnership aims to increase local sourcing through improved access to feed and fodder, breed improvement and quality-based price incentives; and to introduce an innovative marketing/distribution model based on street vendors.

Mobilize and train dairy farmers on quality, animal health and nutrition, feed, fodder and silage production, establish forages banks
Provide training on farming as a business (cost-benefit analysis, business planning, contract negotiation etc)
Expand the street vendor model for BoP markets

Targets
Involve 1,000 smallholder dairy farmers (300 women) and 25 small and medium enterprises (5 women-led) by 2017.
