Scoping mission some highlights: Arusha/Moshi/Kilimanjaro
• Seems to be a market for forages for urban dwellers – Some women sell
roadside-collected grasses along the Moshi-Arusha road
• Lots of crop residues – Some transported
from the lowlands to highland regions, but little is known about this value chain
![Page 5: milkIT Project: Progress update from Tanzaniamilkit.wikispaces.com/file/view/Brigitte Maass MilkIT... · milkIT Project: Progress update from Tanzania ... • Link between feed improvement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051600/5aaaf8957f8b9aa06a8b5d81/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Some highlights: Tanga
• Potential stakeholders – TLRC organized a
“Stakeholder” meeting – Researchers appeared
motivated; also young people – An existing dairy platform
already present that could be built on
– Functional milk factory • Feed related issues
– Seasonal feed deficits. • Milk processing under
capacity in dry season – Pastures would benefit from
sowing improved species – There is a gross lack of seed
for pasture improvement in the country

• Potential for productivity improvement emphasizing feeds
• Link between feed improvement and milk market• Production system • Livestock population, especially considering
improved dairy animals • Characteristics of stakeholders; availability of
R&D partners • IFAD priorities • Market pull • Beneficiaries (numbers)

milkIT – Progress update
• Initial scoping mission• Partner engagement• Recruitment
• Site selection– Criteria agreed upon in late Jan 2012 – GIS-mapping undertaken at national level – Ground truthing in Morogoro & Tanga Regions
• Stakeholder meeting
![Page 11: milkIT Project: Progress update from Tanzaniamilkit.wikispaces.com/file/view/Brigitte Maass MilkIT... · milkIT Project: Progress update from Tanzania ... • Link between feed improvement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051600/5aaaf8957f8b9aa06a8b5d81/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
milkIT – Site selection process
• CRP 3.7 (Meat, milk & fish for the poor by the poor) strata to consider
• Peri-urban – not to be considered for MilkIT project • Rural to urban• Rural to rural
• GIS-based spatial analysis – Cattle density – high density areas – Poverty – high poverty areas – Population/market – high population areas– Production potential – high LGP areas– Surplus vs deficit areas – deficit areas where there is potential for
increasing supply through feed interventions.
• Range of other more qualitative criteria – Complimentary to other projects (create synergies), e.g. IFAD – Proportion of improved cattle
![Page 12: milkIT Project: Progress update from Tanzaniamilkit.wikispaces.com/file/view/Brigitte Maass MilkIT... · milkIT Project: Progress update from Tanzania ... • Link between feed improvement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051600/5aaaf8957f8b9aa06a8b5d81/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

What do development people need from research?
• Technologies to deal with productivity constraints
• Tell us why we lack good technicians (dairy technologists)
• Put research into use• Researchers need to interact with development• Research topics should be agreed with
development people (up front)• We take research knowledge to catalyze change
Stakeholder meeting in Morogoro 2012
![Page 20: milkIT Project: Progress update from Tanzaniamilkit.wikispaces.com/file/view/Brigitte Maass MilkIT... · milkIT Project: Progress update from Tanzania ... • Link between feed improvement](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051600/5aaaf8957f8b9aa06a8b5d81/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What research challenges are you hearing from development actors
and private sector? • Seasonality of milk production and processing• Seasonality of feed production• Only portions of milk are collected• Lack of coordination between stakeholders (not
involved in project design and implementation)• Low population of improved dairy cattle • Low milk production of existing herds • Milk quality problems/milk handling – e.g.,
adulteration, antibiotics • Lack of sufficient trained dairy technology
technicians in the industry

Research Opportunities
• Feed– Feed conservation (hay with improved
grasses, and silage)– Feed trading – surplus/deficit areas– Buying in concentrates– Pasture improvement, especially with high
quality leguminous species
• Breeds– Strengthening AI programs

Quick wins identified
• By researchers – Milk collection and
(distribution) marketing (all sites)
– Training to change mind set (farmer keeping dairy cattle as hobby) –importance of proper dairy production [feeding etc.], commercial orientation)
– Mbeya – Tukuyu district –plenty of milk, but no milk collection and selling (value addition?)
– Feed conservation technologies for all areas
– Deal with high calf mortality (40%) in southern highlands
• By development actors – Training to farmers & offer
embedded services– Working through groups,
Association and Co-operations
– Stimulate organisationalcapacity and formation of associations
– Introducing milk kiosks and formalizing them
– Creating fair playing ground (home produce & imports)
– Improving service delivery (Veterinary services)
