Modernize Large Scale Dairy Farms with
Private Sector Participation
Modernized large-scale dairy farms will be established
with the private sector and public private partnership
investments. This will be achieved by creating a
conducive environment for investors by providing
land, banking facilities, infrastructure, quality service
delivery system and tax concessions. Further, facilities
will be provided for processing and value addition to
milk-related products aimed at domestic and export
markets.
Enhance Production of Breeding
Materials
The shortage of breeding materials has been
identified as a major constraint in the development
of the dairy industry. With the aim of addressing
this issue, importation of high yielding cattle breeds,
strengthening artificial insemination programmes and
establishment of breeder farms with the support of the
private sector will be undertaken.

Promote Poultry Production
The private sector engagement in the poultry industry
will be promoted further to enhance the contribution
of the poultry sector. The current domestic production
of poultry will be doubled through the encouragement
of capital intensive breeder farms, hatcheries, feed
mills and processing units. This will enable the poultry
industry to develop a commercial intensive system
of production. Pure-line and grand-parent breeder
operations will be supported and encouraged so as to
increase the self-reliance of day old parents required
for the poultry industry.
Strengthen Animal Feed Production
The shortage of animal feed production increase the
cost of production of all livestock products. Thus,
animal feed production factories will be established at
strategic places with the support of the private sector.
Improve Service Delivery System
The service delivery system for the livestock sector is
not in a position to meet the demand of the livestock
industry. Hence, the service delivery system will
be strengthened by establishing Veterinary Offices,
Veterinary Investigation Centres, Animal Hospitals and
developing the capacity of the human resources in the
sector.
