We are going to give 86 dairy cattle to a cooperative society in Busokelo District, because we want to see the dairy sub-sector growing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Iringa, Mbeya, Songwe, Njombe, Ruvuma and Rukwa regions have ideal climate for dairy farming and called upon the farmers in the regions to seize the opportunity and engage in serious dairy farming.<\/p>\n<p>The manager said children drinking milk in schools is one of the ways to improve their diet, adding that production should increase in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Representing the permanent secretary in the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, Mr Stephen Michael, said the 2020\/21 cattle census shows that the country has 33.9 million cattle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have second biggest population of cattle in Africa. It is only pertinent that we use every opportunity available to use to increase milk production for existing and future milk processing industries,\u201d he said, adding that there are many opportunities to exploit in the milk value chain.<\/p>\n<p>Reached for a comment, Mbeya Regional Commissioner Juma Homera had similar opinion, saying: \u201cMilk drinking habit will save children from being stunted.\u201d Expert statistics show that Tanzania has significant dairy livestock resources and has the potential to transform the lives and incomes of smallholder farmers along the dairy value chain.<\/p>\n<p>Milk production of local cattle is put at 1-3 litres per animal. The TADB is battling to change the low milk production challenge in the country and by June this year the bank had disbursed 12.08bn\/- loans to keepers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
