The Ministry of Agriculture of Ethiopia and national research institutes in the dairy sector concentrate on breeding crossbreed varieties for environmental adaptability and improving the genetic traits of 25 native indigenous cattle. The purpose of spreading the crossbreeds is to perform the goal to increase the average milk productivity from 1.5-2 L to 8-10 L/cow/d and to escape from the self-sufficient supply to the farm households with less than five cattle of indigenous species. The proclamation of innovative policies and livestock legislations related to the Ethiopian dairy industry's prospects is to maximize the ripple effect by procuring crossbreed varieties with a high-capacity pure Holstein breed. It is especially emphasized in the strict article of the related regulations for informal milk channels because of the possibility of violation of the milk component adjustments and adulterations. It will be a very effective measure to accomplish the actor's voluntary refinement of the present regulations. Otherwise, legal reform is necessitated. Establishing a milk quality inspection organization is inevitable for adapting a milk price-differentiated payment system according to the quality grading by the fat and protein content and sanitary grading by the counts of total mesophilic bacteria and somatic cells as already proclaimed. To adapt stakeholders to the new milk price system, the establishment of a cold chain infrastructure is an essential solution above all. In addition, to enhance the economic effectiveness of the 53 dairy cooperatives and dairy unions, capacity building of the staff personnel and market sales opportunities need to strengthen through procuring milk processing equipment and training in advanced processing technology.
