The Kaduna State Government has commended the management of Arla Foods Nigeria for its huge investment on the Arla Farm project which would contribute to the sustainable development and improvement of milk and dairy production in Nigeria.
Pedersen stated that the company is quite optimistic that Nigeria can attain self-sufficiency in milk production provided the right investments and partnerships are made. Dabo explained that with the kind of improved dairy farming practice and technology introduced on the farm as well as plans for knowledge transfer to local farmers, milk production would be scaled up thereby helping Nigeria to achieve self-sufficiency.
“With this development, you can sedentarized the cows. This is a typical example of how you keep your cow, give them the appropriate feeds resulting in high yield. You can see the kind of cow specie the company brought to Nigeria. While you can get 40 litres of milk in a day from this specie, you can only get 3 litres of milk from our local cows. The doubling effect alone is huge. It is really exciting and it shows what technology does,” he said.
Sani stressed that the facility would serve as a supporting infrastructure for the Damau Household Milk Farm project that the government intends to embark upon soon. In her remarks, Managing Director, Kaduna Markets Development And Management Company, Tamar Nandul noted that the Kaduna state government is satisfied with the partnership as well as the Arla’s commitment toward the realization of the project.
