• Trends show the regions milk industry is growing rapidly (40% of Africa’s production)
• Significant opportunities exist for smallholders• Research solutions are needed to
transform the livestock sector• More investments are required to take
successes to scale• Acting now, together and coherently,
we can create a vibrant dairy sector and exploit it as a pathway out of poverty
Our Motivation

Background• Smallholder dairy VC R&D engagement since Jan 2012 • Strong focus on pro-poor marginalised pre-commercial
men and women• Aim is to provide proof-of-concept on how marginalised
groups can also be targeted successfully• Details on background & documentation available at

More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project
Objectives (derived from ASDS and Irish Aid Tanzania CSP
Goal: • Inclusive growth and reduced poverty and
vulnerability among dairy-dependent livelihoods in relevant rural areas in Tanzania
Outcome: • Rural poor are more income secure through enhanced
access to demand-led dairy market business services and viable organisational options, and low-income consumers have better access to affordable milk.
More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project
Contributing Objectives over 5 yrs1. Develop scalable value chains approaches with improved
organization and institutions serving resource-poor male and female smallholder dairy households
2. Generate and communicate evidence on business and organizational options for increasing participation of resource-poor male and female households in dairy value chains
3. Inform policy on appropriate role for pro-poor smallholder-based informal sector value chains in dairy sector development
More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project
Addressing 4 inter-related problems that face resource-poor milk producers
1. Dominant direct sales of small volumes by smallholder producers that preclude economies of scale
2. Credit facilities for basic inputs and services or working capital are lacking. This discourages investment to improve productivity
3. Lack of appropriate organizational models for pre-commercial producers (complex cooperative models and technology-driven solutions have largely failed, especially applies in extensive areas)
4. Seasonality of rainfall and related effects are strong
Key messages on identified entry points
• Validity of the need to focus attention on ‘growing’ the existing informal system of milk production (with zebu cattle) and marketing to extend the frontiers of commercial dairying
• Organizational models to achieve economies of scale for access to inputs and services required to unleash incentives for raised productivity to levels that will justify bulking
• This is riskier than classical approaches but more inclusive in ensuring wider impact on marginalised
• Policy support for pro-poor shift is required

More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project
Dairy Market Hubs (DMHs) with emphasis on improving access to inputs and services through business development services (BDS) and check-off arrangements:
a) DMHs revolving around chilling plants or accessing them (if under-utilized) through transport arrangements that provide both outputs marketing and inputs and services through check-offs; b) DMHs revolving around check-offs for inputs and services provided through milk traders; and c) DMHs revolving around check-offs for inputs and services provided through cattle traders.

Main successes and challenges thus far
Successes • Entry points for piloting of interventions identified, the
projects ares now ready for take-off• Early success in preparing for impact in the dairy value chain
in Tanzania in the long-term through DDF and ‘Maziwa Zaidi’ value chain transformation agenda
Challenges• Innovating for inclusive upgrading of dairy value chains is
riskier but has more potential for wider impact
Context of Maziwa Zaidi
Following baseline, several targeted & strategic research initiated in villages (examples below)
• A study on the concentrate feed sub sector in Tanzania
• What is killing my cow? Re-assessing diseases in smallholder dairying in Tanzania
• Impact assessment of innovation platforms in Tanzania
• Strategic lesson learning on dairy feeding technologies for improved feed supply and adoption of existing feeds in Tanzania
• The sustainability of dairy development in Tanzania: adoption of a Participatory Market Chain Approach
• Toward a conceptual framework for analysis of producer hubs in supporting pro-poor smallholder commercialization (a review)
• Several other research activities by integrated projects (e.g., Dairy Genetics East Africa)
Monitoring, learning and evaluation (MLE) framework developed
CGIAR is a global partnership that unites organizations engaged in research for a food secure future. The CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish aims to increase the productivity of small-scale livestock and fish systems in sustainable ways, making meat, milk and fish more available and affordable across the developing world.
