Integrated Dairy Productivity Improvement Project for smallholder farmers in Kamalamai Municipality

Integrated Dairy Productivity Improvement Project for smallholder farmers in Kamalamai Municipality

Project Period: April 2023 – December 2024

Dairy is Nepal’s second-largest agricultural sector, contributing 63% to livestock GDP. However, productivity is low, with milk production far below global averages. Nepal imports around NPR 2 billion (US$ 17 million) in dairy products annually due to poor genetics, inadequate feeding, limited healthcare, and technology access. Additionally, the agricultural extension system struggles with poor information flow and an undertrained workforce. This project aims to boost dairy productivity and quality by providing farmers with decision-support tools, improving fodder access, and offering price incentives for high-quality milk. It aims to enhance milk quality, improve access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), and strengthen nutrition, particularly for women and children.

This project is a collaboration between Heifer Project Nepal (HPN), Nepal Agriculture Research Council (NARC), and University of Florida. Some expected outcomes include better fodder supply, higher milk production, increased farmer incomes, and improved nutrition and health, especially for vulnerable groups.
