From Plateau to Prosperity: How Farmfresh is Stirring a Dairy Revolution in Nigeria
Source: dairynews.today
Farmfresh, Integrated Dairies Limited's flagship dairy brand, is reshaping the Nigerian dairy industry by reducing reliance on imports and fostering local production.
There is a certain grace to the high plains of Vom in Plateau State. The mornings are crisp and the evenings gentle, a fitting backdrop to Integrated Dairies Limited (IDL), a company transforming Nigeria's dairy industry.
Despite Nigeria's consumption of 1.6 billion litres of milk annually, over 70% is imported, costing more than $1.5 billion yearly in foreign exchange.
IDL, established in 2003, seeks to change this with Farmfresh, producing locally with its herd of over 500 high-yield dairy cows on Plateau's grasslands. Producing up to 10,000 litres of milk daily, Farmfresh products find homes in local markets instead of being shipped abroad.
By investing in a state-of-the-art cold chain system, IDL ensures the freshness and nutritional value of its products, setting a new benchmark in the industry. If Nigeria could replace 50% of imported milk with local production, it would save over ₦600 billion annually.
Farmfresh, through its inclusive approach and high-quality offerings, is not just milk; it stands as a beacon of resilience, pride, and Nigeria's readiness for the world.
