Dairy producers pledge support to new government
View(s):The All Island Dairy Association (AIDA) has pledged support to the new NPP government and welcomed the newly appointed Minister of Agriculture, Livestock Development, Land and Irrigation – K.D. Lal Kantha.
In a media release, AIDA said it serves as the central forum for consensus building amongst different stakeholders within the dairy industry and develops the local dairy industry as a key sector of the national economy. AIDA members consist of individuals or firms engaged in farming, producing, processing, importing of dairy products and providing associated services.
As part of its services, AIDA influences government policies that impact the sector’s growth and prosperity. Its services encompass engaging with and representing dairy farmers, lobbying for improved government support, and promoting transparency within the dairy value chain. The Association also collects and analyses industry data to inform policy decisions and identify opportunities for efficiency improvements, such as optimizing milk collection and transport processes.
AIDA has been instrumental in enhancing the dairy sector’s sustainability and profitability. Developing an independent farmgate milk pricing formula is crucial, alongside engaging educational institutions and government to create relevant training programmes. AIDA facilitates on-farm investments by providing financing solutions and reduces input costs through bulk purchasing of key commodities for its members. Its future plans include workshops and networking events, ICT solutions, and to drive consumer demand through dairy promotions and school milk programmes while improving product quality via cold-chain education campaigns.
