MILK VALUE CHAIN

This project aims to provide technical support to cattle breeders specifically milking cows’ and ewes’ breeders as an attempt to preserve the livestock size in all besieged areas of Rural Damascus particularly Eastern Ghouta. Considering that the livestock size is decrementing day by day affected by the imposed besiegement. Therefore, this project will focus on targeting 79 milking cows’ breeders and 34 milking ewes’ breeders and will provide them with a sufficient quantity of fodder that suffices their heifers for a period of time, considering that the availability of fodder is very rare. Additionally, through this project breeders are going to be invited to attend a series of awareness sessions to increase their awareness and preparedness in terms of the different ways of breeding to follow and how to increase and develop their personal livestock size. Not to forget that a series of market linking events are going to be provided to all selected breeders and interns. These events will help targeted beneficiaries identify all possible gaps milk production is facing and work on proposing all possible solutions. Moreover, this project is going to provide a job opportunity for 113 young breeders who will be recruited to support the direct beneficiaries for a monthly salary. Finally, through this project we are going to be supporting two peasants’ federations by establishing one training room for each federation to be used to serve all farmers.
