The dairy board is expected to help close this gap and ensure sufficient milk supply. During his speech, Minister Tshawuka emphasized the board\u2019s importance, saying, \u201cThe dairy board will play an important role in improving farming in Eswatini.\u201d He outlined a strategy with three pillar,service delivery and decentralization, ensuring food self-sufficiency, and wealth creation. \u201cWe visit Tinkhundla and discuss how to work,\u201d he stated, underlining the need to support local producers. He also presented a feed basket initiative that will include milk, maize, and beans. \u201cOur goal is to ensure that within two years, Eswatini produces enough food for everyone,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Tshawuka addressed the urgent need to increase milk production and urged the dairy board to tackle the 64 million cubic liter deficit. \u201cWe need to improve the situation,\u201d he remarked, noting that there is only one factory operating at just 40% capacity due to insufficient supply of milk.<\/p>\n<p>The Eswatini Dairy Board is assigned to search for dairy cattle to produce more milk and some Cows would be sold to Swazis. \u201cIf farmers know the dairy board will process their milk, they will be more likely to produce it.\u201d There is also a school feeding program to provide dairy cows to schools, ensuring children from low-income families can access nutrition. \u201cWe want to ensure that every child has access to proteins to avoid instances of stunted growth,\u201d he stated. The launch was attended by key figures who are part of the New Eswatini Dairy Board, including Jeremiah Ndlovu (Chairperson), Winnie Stewart (Vice Chairperson), Bongiwe P. Masina, Elmon Nxumalo, Nomphumelelo Msibi, Peter Mfanafuthi Dlamini, Sifiso Dlamini, Dr. Patrick M.
