The main objective of the project is to improve the incomes and nutritional status of Ethiopian peasants by establishing modern dairy production units to be operated by Service and Producer Co-operatives, and upgrading present units. A second objective is to improve the operational efficiency and financial performance of the state dairy sector. Both the co-operative and State farm developments would help improve the supply of milk to urban consumers and increase the availability of butter which is strongly preferred in traditional Ethiopian cooking. The project would help place dairying in Ethiopia on a sounder economic footing by increasing the emphasis on forage production and reducing the dependence on concertrate feeding. The project would also serve as an example of the benefits of more sophisticated livestock management.
