DAIRIBORD Holdings is establishing three new village milk aggregators, with the potential to collaborate with 150 additional beef-dairy producers.
The milk processor entered into a $60,000 co-funded grant agreement with USAID-funded Feed the Future Zimbabwe Fostering Agribusiness for Resilient Markets Activity, to increase raw milk supply by establishing a reliable supplier base from smallholder beef-dairy farmers, utilising village milk aggregators in Manicaland.
Under the partnership, Dairibord will invest in a cold chain truck to transport milk from the farmers, improving the quality and quantity of milk supplied to the processor.
