“…Moreover, as women often participate in the informal dairy sector, it is essential that training be gender sensitive. 303 All participants would require support to purchase equipment to test, transport, and store milk products safely. 304 By working closely with dairy cooperatives and investing in improved handling methods and equipment for analyzing the quality of milk in Uganda, The Inclusive Dairy Enterprise (TIDE) was able to achieve a significant improvement in the quality of milk delivered.…”

Meat, milk and more: Policy innovations to shepherd inclusive and sustainable livestock systems in Africa

Overarching policy frameworks: Given the duality of livestock production in many countries, with large market-oriented producers operating alongside small and subsistence producers, and formal markets operating alongside informal markets, an overarching policy framework is needed to create an inclusive, holistic, innovative, productive, and profi table livestock sector, that is also environmentally sustainable and promotes further involvement of women and youth. Dedicated departments for livestock can ensure that the sector is funded better, and that there is clear oversight of livestock activities, while crossdepartmental committees composed of representatives from livestock, agriculture, environment, health and fi nance ministries would ensure that cross-cutting themes receive the attention and coordination they require. 2 Regulation: A nimble but clear and health conscious regulatory environment will be critical to ensure that a fl ourishing livestock sector maintains high safety, quality, and welfare standards, produces nutritious food, preserves environmental sustainability, and protects producers' and consumers' health. Domestic regulations for input and output markets need to be harmonized and simplifi ed, while strengthened services are needed to support such regulations. Property rights of herders need to be recognized. 3 Private sector-led development: A viable private sector, including farmer and herder organizations, will facilitate increased investments, and drive growth, job creation, and entrepreneurship in the livestock sector. Dedicated investments in infrastructure-such as provision of electricity, cooling facilities, and transport-could signifi cantly reduce market transaction costs and improve the effi ciency of value chains through innovations as well as the safety and production of animal-sourced products, and make the commercialization of livestock production more feasible. The feed sector needs to expand based on sound investment for stable supplies and innovation in pasture grassland quality. 4 Finance and livestock assets: Despite its signifi cant contribution to agricultural and national gross domestic product (GDP), the livestock sector in most African countries remains heavily underfunded. Financing common goods such as animal health, animal improvement, and research creates a strong foundation upon which both market-oriented and subsistence livestock sectors can prosper. Financial services must be (re-)designed to cater for the unique circumstances of livestock producers, such as the need for different loan sizes and duration of borrowing, alternative forms of collateral, seasonality of production, and other inherent risks. Livestock insurance also provides a vital source of fi nancial support, particularly during and following emergencies. Livestock distribution programs to smallholders can be considered at greater scale when combined with services. 5 6 Data and research: Availability and access to comprehensive and good quality information and data on all aspects of the livestock s...

“…The growth of the ATM market segment has taken off in an environment of inadequate regulations and inadequate enforcement by KDB. Further, owing to the large amount of milk that is marketed unprocessed and the weak monitoring of markets, there are concerns about public health risks consequently undermining the emergence of a competitive dairy sector (Alonso et al, 2018;Makoni et al, 2014;Ndambi et al, 2018). The regulator (KDB) is in the advanced stage of reviewing regulations and the code of practice, which is likely to be a game changer in the industry in the near future.…”

“…Quality and safety concerns of trade in raw milk are at the centre of debate in the dairy industry, where stakeholders are divided over the push for formalization of the milk market in Kenya through processing (Makoni et al, 2014;Rademaker et al, 2016;Alonso et al, 2018). The informal market outlets in the dairy sector in Kenya are typified by high levels of non-compliance with food safety and quality standards attributed to low investment in safe milk handling and poor adherence to standards and regulations.…”

“…Milk delivered to processors increased from 535.7 million litres in 2017 to 634.3 million litres in 2018 (KNBS, 2019). The slow growth calls for diversified approaches to upgrading of the informal sector, with the goal of expanding quality and safety-driven development with appropriate safeguards (Makoni et al, 2014;Alonso et al, 2018). Accelerating transition to a competitive, quality-driven industry requires exploring innovation and investment opportunities for sustainable and inclusive sector development that will continue to contribute to food and nutrition security, economic development and improved livelihoods.…”

This study analyses trends in the development of ATM milk retailing in Kenya, based on data collected in six counties with high ATM density. Trends include growth in the ATM businesses and related support services, consumer perceptions and demand and milk quality and safety issues in this milk market segment. Building on the trends analysis, the second part of the study explores scenarios that are likely to affect further growth of milk ATMs. The evidence is intended to inform the necessary policy and regulatory framework that can support quality-driven investments in this growing retail market segment.
