Dairy Land, Sustainable Land?
The dairy sector in the Ethiopian Highlands: The place of traditional fermented milk products
In Ethiopia, around 97-98% of the annual milk production is accounted by the traditional milk production system, which is dominated by indigenous breeds. Most of the milk produced in the country is accordingly processed on-farm using traditional technologies that are generally not well understood. The very few enterprises currently operating in and around the capital depend on the traditional sector for the majority of their milk supply. These underscore the importance of understanding the traditional sector to render improvement interventions possible.

The report has identified a list of opportunities for trade and investments in dairy production, business development services, and dairy processing and marketing.

Highest ranking milk sheds were Addis Abeba, Adama-Asella, and Bahir Dar–Gondar milksheds.
