Public policies and strategies in support of the value chains for dairy industry

Due to the fact that the traditional sector for dairy production in Egypt contributes a large proportion of the total dairy production volume. ARC plan included: Study the current state, future production, and marketing & processing

of dairy, especially among small-scale producers

Identify problems and constraints

Identify the national policies and programs aimed to the development

of production and marketing

Recommendations, programs and development projects and investment

to overcome the obstacles and limitations and to serve the development

of this important sector.

ARC Strategic Plan in the field of production and the dairy industry in 2030

field of Animal Production

Executive Plan (10/2011 - 16/2017) National Project for The Development of Dairy

Production Sector Main Goals: Quantitative and qualitative improvement of the herd ( increase

milk production to about 7.2 million tons).

Increase the average person consumption/Annual of locally

produced milk from 63 kg / year currently to 80 kg / year for

reducing the imports.

Achieve production guarantees for:

• High quality .

• Safety of health.

• Consumption of fresh and Manufacturing.

Assistance Projects :

Consolidate and develop the infrastructure for collection centers and

trading and manufacturing of dairy.

Building an integrated system of numbering and registration of

dairy herds.

Improving the productivity of local cows by mixing Friesian cows.

Genetic improvement of Egyptian buffalo.

Development of veterinary care and reproductive systems.

Install of an early warning for coming diseases.

Consolidate and develop the infrastructure for collection systems and trading and manufacturing of dairy: Study the reality of marketing for Dairy state. Characterization of the experiences of successful global marketing
