EPRC is particularly thankful to African Growth Initiative (AGI) Brookings Institute for co-funding the project activities. In addition, AGI played a significant role in reviewing this report. The authors of this report are particularly grateful to dairy farmers who provided valuable information, and officials from the private and government institutions that helped in the mobilization of dairy farmers in particular: the District Veterinary Officers (DVOs) of Mbarara(Dr. Lewis Barigye), Kamuli (Dr. Kiiza Waako), Mbale (Dr. G.H. Were), Bududa (Dr. Susan Kibone), Soroti (Dr. P. Eyudu), Gulu (Dr. OkidiOutora), Nebbi (Dr. Robert Canpara), and Apac (Dr. Anthony Okwir); the leadership and staff of Dairy Development Authority (DDA) for the invaluable insights in focusing the study. The staff of the Uganda Crane Creameries Cooperative Union (UCCCU) chairman (Mr. George Nuwagira), project manager (Mr. Clayton Arinanye) and Supply Chain Coordinator (Mr. Daniel Mugura); the executive of the various primary dairy cooperative societies interviewed in regions covered during the study. The authors are indebted to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBoS) for the provision of the National Services Delivery Survey (NSDS) data, and both the Uganda National Household Survey (UNHS) and Uganda National Panel Survey (UNPS) data, without which the quantitative analysis of changes in the dairy sector would have been impossible. Finally the EPRC would like to thank key private sector players in the dairy sector that provided information on the inputs markets and milk processing in Uganda (mangers of GBK dairy; Parmount Dairies, Eastern Dairies, Gulu Women Dairy, White dairy, Dutch Farm, Shumuk Dairy Ltd, and Soroti Dairy Ltd).

Total national milk production has grown from 460 million litres in 1990 to 1.6 billion litres in 2011, with per capita milk consumption growing from 16 litres in 1986to 58 litres by 2010. A variety of dairy products that were previously imported are now being produced locally in the country. Driven largely by dairy, the livestock sector has maintained positive growth rates averaging 3 percent per annum compared to the declining (and often negative) growth rates registered in the food and cash crop sub sectors. Milk production increased primarily from growth in cattle population, and secondarily from adoption of higher milk yielding cattle. While milk production remains concentrated in the Western milk shed, there is evidence of dairy activities spreading to other non-traditional milk producing regions of the country especially in the Central and Eastern regions of Uganda. Development of the value chain in the dairy sector has led to employment creation and income generation not only for about 700,000 dairy farming households, but also for farm input dealers, dairy equipment dealers, dairy ingredients dealers, raw milk traders, milk transporters, mini-dairies, large scale milk processors, and distributors. Enablers The raw milk market has gradually undergone transformation from a government controlled marketing system to a more competitive sector in which private traders and processors play an increasingly active role. Private sector businesses, cooperative societies and non-government organisation (NGOs) such as Send a Cow, Land O’Lakes and Heifer international have become active players in the supply of essential inputs, crossbreeding and veterinary extension services. These players complemented the limited role of government in those activities and ushered in new services. Farmer-to-farmer consultations enabled the flow of market information on essential inputs and product markets as well as adoption of technology. In addition to expanding milk processing plants, private milk processing companies that entered the industry after the reforms have invested in the milk collection and marketing infrastructure. Remaining Challenges Despite the progress, a few challenges remain. 1. Regional milk markets are not well integrated. Consequently, farm gate milk prices are perpetually low in the milk surplus Western region and high in the milk deficit regions (Eastern and Northern). 2. The near-monopolistic structure of the milk collection and processing market – where Sameer Agricultural Livestock Limited (SALL) inherited existing networks created by the government owned Dairy Corporation (DC) after privatization and as a result controls 78 percent of the formal raw milk marketing channel – leaves major processing companies such as GBK and SHUMUK with little incentive to invest in infrastructure. 3. SALL sets periodic raw milk prices and milk purchase quotas during peak season, a practice widely construed as monopoly tendencies by dairy farmers in the Western region. The low farm gate price offered to farmers especially during the peak season in relation to the increasing prices of imported inputs (e.g. veterinary drugs and acaricides) is a big source of instability in the milk surplus south-Western region, and dairy farmers in this part of the country are Economic Policy Research Centre iii Dairy Sector Reforms and Transformation in Uganda since the 1990s switching enterprises from dairying to crop farming. For instance dairy farmers in Bushenyi district (south Western region) have diversified to tea and banana farming. Recommendations 1. Public investment in infrastructure

We need to know where we are, determine where we want to reach and also know whether we have reached there. The monitoring of socio-economic progress is not possible without measuring how we progress and establishing whether human, financial and other resources are being used efficiently. However, these statistics have in many occasions been national in outlook and less district specific. The development of a district-based Statistical Abstract shall go a long way to solve this gap and provide district tailored statistics and will reflect the peculiar nature of the district by looking at specific statistics which would not be possible to provide at a higher level. Data and statistics are required for designing, planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating development programmes. For instance, statistics on school enrolment, completion rates and dropout rates e.t.c are vital in the monitoring of Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Universal Secondary Education (USE) programmes. Statistics are also needed for establishing grant aid to community schools, staff levels and other investments in the education programmes. The collection and use of statistics and performance indicators is critical for both the successful management and operation of the sectors, including Lower Local Governments.
