The Smallholder Agribusiness Partnership Programme (SAPP) together with the All Island Dairy Association (AIDA) and Market Oriented Dairy (MOD) Project organised a two-day workshop on ‘Sustainable Dairy Development: A Value Chain Approach’ on January 13-14 in Colombo, focusing on the functioning of the dairy sector in Sri Lanka.
The aim of the workshop was to reveal the constraints and create a dialogue on strategies needed for improving an enabling environment, which will facilitate smooth function of dairy value chains at national level, AIDA said in a media release on Monday.
“The dairy industry of Sri Lanka is in a transitional stage. The newly emerging large and medium scale dairy operations may convert dairy from livelihood operation to a profitable industry. Accommodation of local production in the market chain has become a challenge. Therefore, the development of infrastructure such as milk collecting networks, facilities for value addition and further processing and quality assurance will be required for smooth functioning of the value chain,” the release said.
At the 2-day event, direct and indirect member organisations identified the challenges and strategic interventions in the dairy value chain in Sri Lanka with special emphasis on factors that empower the value chain such as Input Supply, Consumer Market, Extension Service, Processing and Value Addition, Quality and Safety of End Products, Finance and Insurance.
