Summary for Steering Committee
A. Omore and L. Kurwijila
Presentation at Project Review and Planning and
Steering Committee Meeting
19 March 2014

2. More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project
Background
Tanzania’s GDP growth over the last decade has barely impacted the poor
Smallholder dairy VC R&D engagement since Jan 2012
Strong focus on pro-poor marginalised pre-commercial men and women
Research solutions and more investments are needed to transform the livestock sector
Acting now, together and coherently, we can create a vibrant dairy sector & exploit it for the benefit of the poor
Aim is to provide proof-of-concept on how marginalised groups can also be targeted successfully

3. Tanzania is one of 9 Target Value Chains
SHEEP & GOATS
AQUACULTURE
PIGS
DAIRY

4. Objectives (derived from ASDS and Irish Aid Tanzania CSP)
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.

5. Contributing Objectives over 5 yrs
More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project
Contributing Objectives over 5 yrs
Develop scalable value chains approaches with improved organization and institutions serving resource-poor male and female smallholder dairy households
Generate and communicate evidence on business and organizational options for increasing participation of resource-poor male and female households in dairy value chains
Inform policy on appropriate role for pro-poor smallholder-based informal sector value chains in dairy sector development

6. Addressing 4 inter-related problems that face resource-poor milk producers
Dominant direct sales of small volumes by smallholder producers that preclude economies of scale
Credit facilities for basic inputs and services or working capital are lacking. This discourages investment to improve productivity
Lack of appropriate organizational models for pre-commercial producers (complex cooperative models and technology-driven solutions have largely failed, especially applies in extensive areas)
Seasonality of rainfall and related effects are strong

7. Identified villages

11. Hubs for piloting in the Tanzania context
More Milk in Tanzania (MoreMilkiT) Project
Hubs for piloting in the Tanzania context
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.
