3 ABSTRACT The dairy industry is among the important components of the livestock sector. It contributes about one-third of the 4.6% livestock industry s contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The industry has even greater potential for improving the living standards of people through improved nutrition arising from milk consumption and incomes raised from sales of milk and milk products. Out of the 21 million cattle in Tanzania, about 680,000 are dairy cattle mainly crosses of Friesian, Jersey, and Ayrshire breeds with the Tanzania Shorthorn Zebu (TSZ). Total annual milk production is currently estimated at 1.65 billion litres. About 70% of the milk produced comes from the traditional sector (indigenous cattle) kept in rural areas, while the remaining 30% comes from improved cattle mainly kept by smallholder producers. Currently, the total milk processing capacity is about 384,100 litres per day, however the actual processed amount is about 105,000 litres per day. To date, per capita milk consumption in the country is estimated at 43 litres. This consumption level is relatively low compared to the recommended milk per capita milk consumption of 200 litres by FAO. The paper dwells with policies, strategies and programs that are being implemented by the government and stakeholders in order to commercialise the industry. The paper also covers the production status, milk processing, marketing and consumption with respect to challenges that face every stage of the value chain. On production status it includes the animals that produce milk, their distribution and actual seasonal variations in milk production. On milk processing the amount of milk processed compared to amount available and the possibilities of expansion are dealt with. Milk marketing and consumption are interrelated factors in the value chain as increase of consumption expands the domestic market thus stimulating production. Existing opportunities and prospects in the dairy industry are also indicated. ii

4 THE TANZANIA DAIRY INDUSTRY: STATUS, OPPORTUNITIES AND PROSPECTS 1 Introduction Tanzania has abundant natural resources which include land and a large livestock resources base. It covers an area of 94.5 million ha of which 88.6 million ha is a land mass and 6.2 million ha is covered by water. Out of the 88.6 million ha of land, 60 million ha are rangelands with a capacity to carry up to 20 million livestock units and provide over 90% of the feed resource to the livestock. However, due to some constraints such as tse tse fly infestation and other uses only 40% of the rangelands are utilized for grazing 21.3 million cattle, 15.2 goats and 6.4 sheep. Other major livestock species kept in the country include 1.6 million pigs and 43 million chickens. More than 90% of the livestock population in the country is of indigenous types, kept in the traditional sector, known for their ability to survive and produce even under harsh environment with poor feed resources and disease challenge. Livestock is among the major agricultural sub-sectors in Tanzania. Out of the 4.9 million agricultural households about 36% are keeping livestock of whom 35% are engaged in both crop and livestock production. The sector grew at 3.4% and contributed about 3.8% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) (Economic Survey, 2010) of which 40% came from beef, 30% from dairy and the remaining 30% from other livestock commodities. Similarly, the dairy industry is among the important components of the livestock sector. It is a source of animal protein, income and employment. The sector has a great potential for improving the living standards of the people and contributing towards reduction of poverty through improved nutrition, arising from consumption of milk and incomes raised from sale of milk and milk products. The main dairy animal in Tanzania is cattle which are classified as dairy for those that average about 2000 litres per lactation and dual purpose indigenous cattle producing around litres and are mostly used for beef which are the majority. The dairy cattle are kept by smallholders farmers and few medium and large scale farms. The 1

5 indigenous cattle are kept by traditional livestock keepers in the pastoral and agropastoral systems. The performance of the dairy industry has been influenced by changes in economic policies and regulations which have affected harnessing of resources. Currently strategies and programmes have been formulated in order to modernise the industry. Development of the dairy industry has concentrated mainly on increasing the number of improved animals for milk production, improving production, processing and marketing systems. It is the objective of this paper is to give an overview of the status of the dairy industry in Tanzania indicating performance of the industry, opportunities, potentials and prospect for further development of the industry. 2 Experiences in Developing the Dairy Industry The dairy industry in Tanzania has gone through various stages of development. Pre and after independence, dairying was practiced mainly in areas which had a conducive climate to enable production of sufficient milk and that had a potential market for milk such as Kilimanjaro, Arusha and Dar es salaam. In the rest of the country milk produced was consumed within the rural areas. In areas with surplus milk to warrant establishment of a dairy plant, Zonal Dairy Boards were established to regulate and develop the industry. After independence regulation of the industry was done through a Dairy Industry Ordinance No. 61 (Cap 456) which was then replaced by a Dairy Act of 1965 that established a Government Controlled National Dairy Board (NDB). The board became moribund in 1973 as the then Minister of Agriculture did not appoint new members to the Board. In 1975 the government embarked on a programme to boost dairy development whereby efforts were put on increasing milk production. Main concentration was on improving the indigenous cattle through crossbreeding and upgrading programmes with the objectives of increasing the number of improved dairy cattle. Other programmes to improve productivity included disease control and animal nutrition. Alongside these programmes 2

6 were investments in the establishment of parastatal medium and large scale dairy farms, livestock multiplication units, milk processing plants and milk marketing infrastructures. These initiatives resulted in the establishment of 8 dairy farms under the Dairy Farming Company (DAFCO), 7 milk processing plants under the Tanzania Dairies Limited producing reconstituted milk using powered skimmed milk and butter oil which were supplied by the World Food Programme. Proceeds from sale of the reconstituted milk were used for development of the Dairy Industry. From mid 1980 s the approach for development of the dairy industry shifted from establishment of medium and large scale farms towards small holder dairy development. This shift was prompted by the underperformance of parastatal dairy enterprises associated with management problems as they proved to be more efficient and as a strategy for poverty reduction. The change in strategy towards dairy development coincided with economic reforms which included government withdrawal from performing production, marketing and processing and other business related functions and liberazation of markets among others. As a result of this reforms many individuals and agencies joined the industry as milk producers, processors, marketing agents and facilitating agencies performing various functions such as promotion of improved dairy breed, milk processing and marketing but without a proper primary regulator. This led to inadequate control of the industry. To rectify this anomaly the government enacted a Dairy Industry Act No. 8 of 2004 providing for the establishment of the Tanzania Dairy Board, which was inaugurated in 2006 with a mandate to develop and regulate the industry. The Board draws its membership from the Government and stakeholder organizations such as Milk producers, Milk Processors, milk traders, input suppliers and consumers. 3 Status of the Dairy Industry The Dairy industry in Tanzania is still young but developing. Current Development strategies aim at modernizing it commercializing the industry and making it competitive. Production of milk is mainly from indigenous cattle followed by improved dairy cattle and dairy goats and the production is mostly for the domestic market, which mainly prefers it to be in raw and only little amount in processed form. 3

7 3.1 Milk Production Out of the 21.3 million cattle in Tanzania, about 680,000 are dairy cattle mainly crossbred of Friesian, Jersey, Ayrshire breeds with the Tanzania Shorthorn Zebu (TSHZ). Total annual milk production has increased from 814 million litres in 2000/01 to 1.65 billion litres in 2009/10 (Table No. 2). Most of the milk produced in the country comes from the traditional sector (indigenous cattle, about 70%) kept in rural areas, and the remaining come from improved cattle mainly kept by smallholder producers. The increase in milk production from both indigenous and improved dairy cattle is due to increase in herd size rather than in productivity per head (milking cow). Currently, only a small proportion (10%) of marketable surplus of milk produced annually is filtering through, into the urban markets and processing plants. A large proportion of milk is consumed at home or wasted in the rural, milk producing areas. The potential for increased milk supply from rural areas still exists. To exploit it requires improved infrastructures such as milk collection centres, power supply, roads network and transport facilities. Milk production in Tanzania is carried out under two major production systems. These are the traditional and the dairy production systems. Within the traditional system milk is mainly produced by indigenous cattle which are kept for multipurpose objectives. The indigenous cattle which constitute the traditional herd are mainly kept in the Central, Northern and Western parts of the country (Table No. 1). The traditional system is characterised by low productivity, but high per unit of invested money. In addition production costs are relatively low. Due to the remoteness and poor infrastructure, collection of milk and marketing constitute the largest bottlenecks. Hence, the milk produced is mostly consumed locally and quite often a significant amount is left for the calves because of the lack of markets. However, some producers who depend on milk for their cash income are willing to exploit the available opportunity in marketing their produce, for example, some traditional producers residing mainly in peri urban areas near towns or urban centers such as those in the Coast region, transport milk by bicycles over long distances, for sale either at some collection centres located along the major road highways eg. Morogoro road. In this system cattle owners bring lactating cattle from the rangelands (in remote areas) to areas closer to the road side. Within the dairy systems, improved dairy cattle which are mainly crosses of Friesian, Jersey and Ayrshire to the Tanzania Shorthorn Zebu (TSHZ) are the main dairy cattle breeds in use. These systems are further subdivided into smallholder dairy systems integrated with crops, urban/peri-urban dairy systems and specialized medium and largescale dairy system. 4

The system is either integrated with perennial crops (banana and coffee) or with annual crops. The system which is integrated with perennial crops enjoys reasonably good climatic conditions suitable even for pure dairy breeds. This system is commonly practised in the Southern Highlands, Northern highlands and Kagera Region. The smallholder dairy system is gradually expanding in the sub humid coastal and sub urban areas (such as Tanga, Morogoro and Coast regions). Existence of the urban/ peri-urban dairy farming is mainly motivated by availability of market, need for creation of employment opportunities and ease of integration with other agro-economic activities. This subsystem is normally regarded as not sustainable but rather, a transitional system to medium scale dairy farming in peri urban areas. 5

9 In the specialized Medium Scale dairy farming system, milk production is the main economic activity of the farm. The farm comprises of cows and the management is mainly paddock grazing rather than zero grazing. Medium scale dairy farms are found near big urban centers such as Dar es Salaam, Tanga, Morogoro, Iringa and Arusha. Large Scale State dairy farms are farms with 50 or more dairy cows. There are a number of such farms (some of them are shown in Annex 1), with a total of about 32,100 dairy cattle. In the past most of these farms were government owned farms. In addition a few privately owned large-scale farms exist, particularly in Iringa, Morogoro, Tanga, Kilimanjaro and Arusha regions. 6

12 3.2 Milk Collection, Processing and Marketing Milk Collection Milk collection is practiced in areas with surplus milk above the local market requirement which are connected to markets in peri and urban areas. Existing collection centers are operated through farmer s groups, processors or few traders who collect and sell to processors or consumers. Seasonal availability of milk which is acute in the traditional sector discourage establishment of collection centers and processing plants. Milk collection for processing will only be feasible if there is surplus production and a well established collection system which entails bulking and transportation. As it has been indicated earlier in this paper, milk is mainly produced by indigenous cattle which are widely distributed in different areas including remote villages whereby the road infrastructure is poor and having inadequate provision of utilities such electricity. These problems contribute to inefficiency in milk collection and addition of cost for milk collection and processing. A few dairy producer societies exist in Tanzania they are mainly found in Tanga region (where 13 societies with 3,004 members exist). Non existence of producer societies not only makes collection and marketing of raw milk difficult but also discourage introduction of innovations. All these challenges result into limited domestic and export marketing of milk and milk products. Establishment of a well coordinated milk collection network could be a kick start towards successful milk processing and marketing Milk Processing Milk processing in the country is mainly undertaken by small and medium scale plants of capacities ranging between 500 and 30,000 liters per day. The current national milk processing capacity is 410,500 liters per day, but, the capacity utilization is about 30% (Annex 2). The low capacity utilization is partly due to inadequate raw milk production as a result of seasonality in milk production due to inadequate feeding; milk being produced in small quantities and milk producers being widely spread in remote areas thus increasing milk collection and transportation costs; high cost of milk processing due to high cost of equipment, machinery, packaging materials and utilities. In addition to the 9

13 poor infrastructure, high cost of doing business and low milk consumption levels also constrain milk processing. Products processed from these plants include pasteurised milk, fermented milk, cheese, yoghurt, ghee and butter. Among the efforts to create a conducive environment for development of the dairy industry, the government has exempted import duties for milk packaging materials, some equipment used in the collection, transportation and processing of milk products. Furthermore, the Local Government Authorities are sensitizing the stakeholders to form groups, associations and cooperative societies in order to enhance milk collection, handling and processing Milk marketing and Consumption Surplus milk produced is marketed in different ways depending on the system of production, location and amount. Dairy value chain studies have revealed that generally 10% of raw milk produced reaches both formal and informal markets, of this only 2% is formally traded. In the commercial sector in which 30% of milk is produced, the milk market share is apportioned as: neighbours (86.1%), local market (5.3%), traders at farm (4.6%) and processing factories (1.4%) (An Overview of the Dairy Industry in Tanzania; Situation, Challenges and Expectations, Kurwijila, 2010). Milk is mainly marketed in urban and peri urban areas where consumption is relatively higher. A study conducted by Austro Project Association, (Assessment of Fresh Milk and Milk Products Market and Consumption in Dar es Salaam, Kurwijila et al, 1995) shows that 79.2% of milk customers purchase raw milk and 40% of consumers prefer fermented milk. Only a small (3.3%) proportion of consumers buy pasteurised milk. The main reason could be the high price after processing. It is estimated that 41 million litres of milk is annually processed in the country into pasteurised milk, UHT, cultured, ghee, butter, cheese and cream and sold in the domestic market. Milk is also imported in the country whereby reports indicates in the year 2008 about million litres of milk equivalent which accounted for 48% of processed milk products were imported in the country, thus posing competition between local and imported milk products. There is therefore a challenge to produce milk products of high quality bearing cost effectiveness in mind so as to increase competitiveness of the dairy industry in Tanzania and in the region. 10

14 Milk produced in the country is consumed among urban populations but is mainly consumed in the livestock keeping communities where a person can consume more than 100 litres per annum (Milk Production and Processing in Central Regions of Tanzania, RLDC, 2009). It is acknowledged that the domestic market is relatively narrow compared to the existing human population. There have been initiatives to expand and develop a sustainable domestic market for milk and milk products and (thereby encourage investment in milk processing). Such initiatives include conducting of generic milk promotion campaigns through Milk Consumption Promotion Week which is conducted every end of May and beginning of June since In addition to that, School Milk Feeding Programmes are implemented in 91 schools in four districts which involve 62,900 school children (Annex 3). Through such initiatives per capita milk consumption has increased from 25 litres in 2000 to 43 litres in Efforts to scale up SMFP have been taken by preparing a SMFP which if implemented would increase the number of school children that would benefit from the initiative. Increase in milk consumption levels will have a catalytic effect in improving levels of milk production, processing and development of the dairy industry in general. 4 Opportunities and Prospects 4.1 A large cattle herd and size of grazing land & Pasture resources; As stated earlier in this paper the country has a large number of cattle, grazing land & pasture resources. This provides a great opportunity for increasing milk production from the indigenous cattle by increasing the number of grade cattle which at the moment are few (680,000). In order to produce relatively more milk, a total of 3 million dairy cattle would be required. The availability of AI services could enable this target be achievable. Dairy production in Tanzania is mainly under small scale farms which have proved to be vulnerable to seasonal variations in feed supply; however the variation is less in medium and large scale farms. Promotion of the establishment of medium to large scale farms is therefore necessary for the purpose of producing large quantities of milk in one locality thus realizing economies of scale, minimizing seasonal variations, milk collection and transportation related problems and thereby promoting processing of milk. 11

15 4.2 Potential domestic and export markets; Tanzania has a big potential domestic market. It has an estimated human population of over 42.8 million people, a growing economy and an emerging middle class with relatively high disposable income. With these potentials the country provides a big domestic market. Added to this is the regional market. Currently, these potentials are not fully utilised. Expansion of the internal market for milk and milk products is very important. This is because a reliable market is the driving force for the dairy industry growth. This could be achieved through establishing and deploying quality assurance systems along the value chain. Other strategies to expand the domestic milk market include conducting of rigorous marketing and promotion campaigns through milk promotion week which is currently done as well as expansion of the school milk programmes. 4.3 Milk Processing; Expansion of milk processing capacity and range of dairy products produced in Tanzania as a strategy is also important. Expansion of production of UHT and other milk products can cut down importation of the same and reduce substantially annual import bill spent on such products. It is also important to increase milk processing capacity from the current 30% to at least 75% in order to increase profitability of the milk processing plants. 4.4 Dairy Stakeholder Organisation Strengthening of the Tanzania Dairy Board is important in order to organise and promote the development of dairy stakeholder s organisation at all levels and the industry at large. Strengthening of stakeholder s organisations could be achieved through registration, formalisation of informal dairy stakeholders and through information, education and communication campaigns, training and skills enhancement. The expected benefits from the well organised and managed grassroots organisation would improve their access to production, marketing and financial services among others. 12

16 5 Conclusion The dairy industry in Tanzania is developing with prospects for expansions making a bigger contribution to the Gross Domestic Product and improving the welfare of the people. Milk production is low due to the small number of dairy animals, undeveloped systems of production and the low effective demand of dairy products. These can be overcome by harnessing the great potentials available by upgrading the indigenous stock, developing large scale farms and having an effective extension system for the smallholder farmers. Coupled with this is investment in processing and creating effective demand by promoting consumption. Current Development strategies that aim at modernizing the dairy sector should be geared towards setting a process that will move the sector from subsistence to commercialization thereby making it competitive. Future development of the dairy industry should stress on sustainable production systems of high productivity conducted on commercial basis in order to improve the livelihoods, employment, availability of raw materials and contribute more significantly to the national income and conservation of the environment. At present there is a good legal system to regulate the industry and an economic environment to guarantee investors of their investments. Deliberate investment efforts are required on input supply and service provision, production, collection, processing and marketing in the dairy industry could improve the performance and hence increase its contribution to the national economy. 13
