Good practices in dairy farming: training of farming households

In December 2007, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) acquired 17.5 percent in one of the largest cheese producers in Ukraine, OJSC Shostka City Milk Factory, owned by the French Groupe Bel, one of the world’s leading branded cheese manufacturers. In order to help this dairy processor maintain and improve its relationship with the local milk suppliers, who were facing serious quality and supply problems, EBRD called upon FAO to conduct milk sector analysis and provide rural household dairy farmers’ training. The support was provided within the framework of the joint FAO/EBRD project entitled “Improving Milk Supply in Northern Ukraine: Technical Assistance to the Ukraine’s Dairy Sector” between 2008 and 2011.
To achieve tangible results, FAO partnered with local agricultural educators in Sumy to provide training to household farmers. This training video was essential to achieve positive results in milk quality and yields. Main modules include barn organization, feeding of cows, udder health, milk hygiene and much more.
