Introduction In
October 2020 FrieslandCampina WAMCO Nigeria PLC launched the Centre for
Nigerian Dutch Dairy Development (CNDDD). The objective of the Centre is to
improve dairy productivity and sustainability throughout the entire dairy
value chain in Nigeria. The
Netherlands has over a century of experience in producing a large quantity of
high quality milk on a limited area of farmland. The
CNDDD’s activities will focus on sharing Dutch dairy expertise with Nigerian government,
dairy farmers, academics, decision makers in dairy
research and the dairy industry at large. Strong Nigerian agricultural sector At
present, Nigeria’s dairy industry is facing major challenges. The CNDDD in
partnership with the Federal Government of Nigeria is determined to transform the
sector from its current subsistence phase to a commercial quality-focused
model. The
Center envisages that as the country’s population continues to grow, the
establishment of a strong agricultural sector is one of the pillars that will
bring economic and social stability in Nigeria. This requires a fundamental long term development of all areas needed to create a
strong effective and efficient dairy sector based on milk yield, milk
quality, breeding strategy, feeding, collection infrastructure and a route to
the market.
Our Main Activities Research Projects CNDDD
will undertake dairy science research and technology development activities,
which are crucial for improving “grass to glass” dairy safety and quality in
Nigeria. Activities include research among others: feed production and
silage, feeding efficiency, farm size development, education
and farm management.
Dutch Dairy Experience The
Center will organize field trips to the Netherlands for different
stakeholders from Nigeria to demonstrate Dutch best practices in grass to
glass dairy safety and quality. Stakeholder Engagement A series
of activities will be organized to exchange and share knowledge and expertise
within the dairy sector. These include, organizing conferences, participating
in seminars, hosting a website, distributing leaflets and publishing
articles. Publications on Sino-Dutch
Dairy Sector Annually
the Center will publish The White Paper on Nigerian Dairy. This is a
professional industrial development report presented by CNDDD and Nigeria
dairy experts containing a description and detailed data analysis of the
present Nigeria dairy sector, issues, challenges, and development trends. The
White Paper is a guideline for all CNDDD’s activities. Furthermore, we
believe that the White Paper is a valuable reference for relevant
stakeholders in Nigeria. |
