BLUEPRINT
FOR THE FUTURE:
NATIONAL
DAIRY AUTHORITY DEVELOPMENT PLAN CY 2000-20004
National
Milk Feeding Program (NMFP)
- This will meet head-on the problem of child malnutrition through massive
milk feeding that will cover more areas and more intended beneficiaries:
school children and pre-schoolers.
By 2004, the NMFP will have raised the nutritional well-being of
450,000 children at an improvement rate of at lease 80 percent.
Over 18 million liters of fresh milk will be needed for the NMFP.
NDA-assisted cooperatives will provide this requirement, thereby
assuring them of a steady market for their milk produce.
Institutionalization of the NMFP, particularly in terms of funding,
will be vital to the success of the NMFP.
Dairy
enterprise Development Program (DEDP)
- This seeks to develop and empower 40 self-reliant dairy cooperatives in
eight dairy zones to achieve a gradually increasing local milk sufficiency
peaking at 5.6 percent by 2004. Dairy
farmers will also have attained additional incomes higher than the annual
poverty threshold. Herd
build-up of suitable dairy animals, development of dairy facilities,
cooperative empowerment, and education and training will be key factors in
the successful implementation of the DEDP.
Industry
Support Program (ISP)
- This seeks to provide favorable policy environment as well as physical,
financial and social infrastructure support for increased milk
sufficiency. It will
accelerate the integration of local dairy producers with the commercial
sector. It will also make
possible the setting up of 12 model dairy farms and eight
environment-friendly milk processing plants, as well as the conduct of 21
applied researches from technical to industry levels.
