The opportunity
Why this business works now
Dairy farming combines daily production with several routes to market. Milk can be sold in bulk, supplied directly to local buyers or processed into products such as maas and yoghurt where suitable. The plan explains herd development, feeding, milking, cooling, quality control and distribution.
Daily production
A producing herd creates regular milk volumes and frequent sales.
4 sales channels
The model covers bulk milk, direct sales, value-added products and livestock.
Cold-chain focus
Cooling, hygienic handling and timely delivery are central to the operation.
