Book (stand-alone)Technical bookDeveloping an Asian regional strategy for sustainable smallholder dairy development
Proceedings of an FAO/APHCA/CFC-funded workshop
2008Also available in:
No results found.Dairy consumption in Asia and the Pacific has more than doubled in the last 25 years, rising 4 percent annually to reach an estimated 248 million tonnes in 2008, more than one-third of global totals. International market prices of dairy products, rising well over twice their levels of one year ago, hold considerable opportunities for future dairy development in Asia. But the opportunities for smallholder dairy producers can only be understood within a wide range of influencing factors: economic, institutional, commercial, legal, technological and social. Effective strategies for enhancing the contribution by smallholders to growing livestock product demand is complicated by the fact that the specific constraints/opportunities facing the sector differ not only by country but by specific localities. Consequently, useful models of small and large-holder milk producers, which are characterized by the specific linkages within the value chain, need to be reviewed and analyzed. It is partic ularly important that the enabling factors which are critical in successfully forging linkages between smallholder suppliers, processing facilities and traditional markets for fluid milk and other locally acceptable dairy products be identified, weighted and ranked. The selection and promotion of acceptable models need to be based on local conditions, market access, cultural factors and consumption patterns. These models could range from enterprise-driven smallholder dairy operations in the Phil ippines and Viet Nam, to cooperative development in South Asia, to strengthening opportunities for subsistence farmers in Bangladesh. Responding to the need to stimulate investment opportunities for smallholder dairy producers in Asia, FAO in collaboration with partners organized a workshop in Chiang Mai, Thailand from 26 to 29 February 2008 representing 17 countries in the region. -
