Summary
Uganda’s milk demand stands at only 800 million litres per annum compared to 2.6 billion litres produced by the country annually.
Government is urging companies involved in the dairy sector to see that they grow the domestic market to supplement their sales.
Because liquid milk has a short life and it lacks market, companies are planning to engage more in production of milk powder, which has a shelf life of 24 months.
There s also need to increase the capacity of drying plants from 20 tonnes per day to 50 tonnes.
