Market potential of fluid milk production in (peri-)urban and butter production in rural • areas was recognized by farmers and traders, despite huge fluctuation in demand as a result of fasting periods and in supply due to seasonal availability of feed. Knowledge and skills of commercially oriented fluid milk and butter production • systems by value chain actors and extension services was limited Both men and women contributed to fluid milk production and marketing systems in • (peri-) urban areas, while women were predominantly in charge of butter making and marketing in the rural areas. Most development efforts in the past concentrated on the fluid milk system in peri- • urban areas, especially promotion of exotic breeds and cooperatives for processing and marketing of milk, without due consideration to economies of scale. Despite the efforts made, the percentage of improved dairy type animals in the (peri-) • urban areas was still very low. There was serious seasonal fodder scarcity (including crop residues) experienced • during both the dry and wet seasons by dairy farmers in rural and urban areas. Very weak and underdeveloped commercial fodder production and marketing systems • Animal health services were poorly developed, especially in rural areas. • Many cooperatives suffered from lack of efficiency, management and marketing skills. • Weak linkages existed between the producers and other value chain actors as well as • organized leadership in the dairy sector.
