DESPITE the impact of the El Nińo-induced drought, dairy industry players in Zimbabwe anticipate a 13,2 percent increase in milk production, reaching 113 million litres in 2024.
While production rose nine percent to 99,82 million litres in 2023, this fell short of the projected 100 million litres and the target of 103 million litres.
“Although an increase will be attained it is below what we would have actually projected for the year,” said Zimbabwe Association for Dairy Farmers (ZADF) chief executive, Paidamoyo Chadoka.
