Value Chain Model
Together, with our sister company DeLaval, we are a full service supplier to dairy farmers, and uniquely positioned to support the development of the entire dairy sector in any country.
Each country and each project faces different dilemmas. No one working model is the same. Our Food for Development Office offers assistance in assessing needs and finding solutions for each individual case.
Below is an overview of the Value Chain and the support that our FfDO can help provide at each step:
Food production/farm level
- Support for training of farmers
- Equipment financing
- Food product development
Processing plant
- Investment feasibility analyses
- Commercial financing of processing and packaging plants
- Management support and training
- Food product development
- Market development
Distribution
- Support for market development
Consumers/School feeding
- Wide support for the establishment of school feeding programmes
- Consumer information
By combining training of farmers, equipment financing based on commercial terms and support for market development with consumer education activities, we help establish a base for sustainable economic development.
We promote school feeding programmes to create demand for local agricultural products. School feeding not only benefits the school children’s health and learning ability, it also creates jobs in the industrial and agricultural sectors.
The result is:
- Hunger and poverty alleviation
- Improved health status for children
- Income generation for locals
- Job creation
- Local capacity building
- Increased school attendance
- Improved agricultural productivity
