1. Update on dairy value chain development
in Tanzania
Amos Omore (ILRI)
CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish
Planning Meeting
ILRI Nairobi
28 September 2011
2. Outline
• Value chain overview - highlights updated from
proposal;
• Previous engagements;
• Status of existing engagement and key strategic
partners;
• Overview of outcome pathways;
• Synthesis of existing and planned activities/
resources from sub-components (iterative);
• Analysis of gaps;
• Priorities for resource mobilization
3. Good growth and market opportunity
• Many people (43m; 37% poor) and cattle (19m): 3rd largest
cattle pop in Africa after Eth and Sudan
• Improved cattle only 0.6m (3%) but growing fast (6%)
• Milk supply about 1.6b litres/yr (56% consumed on farm)
• Milk consumption rising sharply: from 28 to 39 litres per
capita over the last decade (Country-stats)
• Nascent formal milk sector (approx 80,000l/d; <5% of
marketed milk from local production)
• Growth patterns could follow Kenya’s (longer history of
investment but similar prod – consumption systems)
• Private sector growth/collective action has been unable to
fill gap after withdrawal of public support

10. Researchable supply constraints
• Large productivity gaps by genotype (Mwacharo et al.,)
• Breed choices/breeding services delivery:
European, Mpwapwa, Sahiwal, Gir?
• Feed: seasonality & quality
• Health: e.g., important but unclear epid picture: benefits
from ITM use /other AH techns
• Interventions to grow formal milk market sector given
low processing capacity utilisation (<25%) and reduce
imports of processed milk
• The role of farmer groups in facilitating access to input
supply and milk marketing is very small
• Main challenge for R&D: Value chain upgrading
/expansion options that can be taken up by dev partners
11. Value Chain Outcomes (proposal list)
Components Value chain outcomes
Inputs & Increased private sector /farmer group participation in inputs and services
Services provision.
Improved feed quality and increased quantity of feed (forage and concentrates)
Increased access to affordable animal health care
Production Reduced seasonality in milk supply
Increased milk off-take from existing herds in extensive areas
Increased feed options available
New more adaptable breeds introduced and accessible (e.g .,Gir cattle)
Reduced yield gap for cows with under-exploited genetic potential
Reduced disease risk and mortality, especially ECF
Transport & Increased volume and proportion of processed milk
Processing Increased number of small-scale milk traders selling more milk
Reduced transport and transaction costs
Marketing Increased number of farmer groups engaged in milk marketing
Reduced transactions costs
Participating milk businesses enjoying price premiums from improved milk quality
Higher milk volumes sold to more and profitable outlets
More women participating in larger milk businesses and farmer organisations
12. Activities & partnerships
• Past
– 1998: SDC funded dairy sector appraisal (with SUA & Min of Livestock)
– 2000: DFID funded research to improve informal milk markets while
addressing milk-borne health risks (with SUA, ILRI RR# 19)
• Ongoing/approved
– ASARECA-PAAP funded pilot to scale out BDS schemes in Mwanza and
Arusha /integrate informal into formal VC (with TDB)
– ASARECA-LFP – Milk Marketing and value addition (quality and safety)
– BMGF funded livestock data collection methods project
– MiLKIT (recent scoping visit; stakeholder meeting with CRP3.7 soon)
– CIAT recently initiated steps to build expertise on tropical forage research
• Proposed (with probable ILRI involvement)
– EADD 2, Irish Aid (with SUA), EPINAV(Norway, SUA), EAAPP (WB/IDA loan
with ASARECA convening role)
• Other key players/potential partners
– TAMPA/TAMPRODA, ACT, LoL, HPI, MLDF Res Centres (e.g., Mpwapwa),
FAO/UNDP ag value chains projects, AGRA’s “breadbaskets” partnerships
13. Objectives of new proposals
MiLKIT (IFAD): Enhancing livelihoods through feed innovation and
value chain development approaches (1.0m 3yrs)
• Institutional strengthening: To strengthen use of VC and innovation
approaches among dairy stakeholders to improve feeding strategies.
• Productivity enhancement: To dev options for improved feeding
• Knowledge sharing: To strengthen knowledge sharing mechanisms on
feed development strategies at local, regional and international levels
IrishAid: Getting milk to market: res. on dairy hubs in Tanzania (0.5m/yr)
• Generate and communicate evidence on business and organisational
options for milk marketing in marginalised Tanzanian dairy
households, and for associated service providers
• Identify mechanisms for establishing micro and small enterprises, or
appropriate links to the commercial sector for provision of inputs and
services
• Develop scalable dairy value chain interventions from pilots (TM bubs)
