Govt launches milk drinking plan for all public servants
THE government has unveiled a plan for milk drinking by public servants aimed at mobilising drinking of locally produced milk, as well as increasing livestock keepers’ incomes.
Unveiling the plan here on Tuesday, Livestock and Fisheries minister Mashimba Ndaki said the implementation of the plan will help in solving the market challenges for milk and benefit livestock keepers.
The minister said 3 billion litres of milk is produced by the country’s livestock keepers per year, but the quantity of milk that is processed is only 74.3 million litres making much milk lack reliable markets, a very unsatisfactory situation for the country’s dairy industry.
