AGRICULTURAL NEWS - Transformation of the dairy industry is vital for progress to take place.
This was according to agricultural economist, Bertus van Heerden, who was speaking at the recent Milk Producer’s Organisation (MPO) media day held in Pretoria.
Van Heerden said that established black businesspeople, who already had the necessary background in business, could assist in converting small-scale dairy farmers into large-scale producers.
He added that the MPO was committed to attracting the interest of these established businesspeople.
“[The MPO] can change the current demographics of dairies. But we need to engage the entire value chain,” Van Heerden said.
Dr Chris van Dyk, CEO of the MPO, said that the organisation was actively involved in transformation projects.
