First of all many congratulations on our association completing 24 years of glorious past. NDA has been a part and parcel of the dairy sector movement in the country be it on the policy level issues with the concerned stakeholders or training our members to be competitive. The dairy sector of lately has gone through lot of turbulence as the local industries are facing stiff competition from cheap subsidized imported milk and milk products. Now the time has come that the entire value chain needs to be reviewed. Stress needs to be put on research and development and productivity.
The government and the private sector hast to work hand in hand to enhance the dairy sector of Nepal to curve the unemployment issues, socio-economic growth and nutritional upbringing of the society.
