Yemen
Yemen's dairy industry is marked by its developmental stage and reliance on imports to satisfy domestic demand. With approximately 1.7 million dairy cattle, the country produces around 250 million liters of milk annually. However, limited processing infrastructure necessitates significant imports, particularly of milk powder and whey. Key players include Yemen Milk & Dairy Industries LTD and the Al-Mahdi Dairy Cooperative, with notable farms like Al-Bustan and Al-Makha contributing to local milk production. Recent initiatives aim to modernize the sector and enhance food security.
Zambia
Zambia's dairy industry is undergoing a significant transformation with a focus on enhancing productivity and sustainability through the introduction of Jersey cattle. The sector supports over 8,500 farmers by providing training and technical support to improve dairy farming efficiency.
Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's dairy industry is a key contributor to the nation's economy, producing approximately 75 million liters of milk annually with a robust processing capacity and notable enterprises driving the sector. While the country exports about 2,500 tons of dairy products, it imports 6,000 tons to meet demand. Challenges include financial delays affecting farmers, yet international collaborations and reforms are underway to support growth.
