Sustainable dairy zone breaks ground in Ha Nam

FrieslandCampina Vietnam on July 16 kicked off the construction of a dairy Zone project in Moc Bac commune in the northern province of Ha Nam’s Duy Tien District, with an aim to establish and develop specialised dairy zones for family farms, contribute to food security, create jobs and reduce milk imports.

This project is a partnership between FrieslandCampina- a leading dairy company in the Netherlands, the Dutch partners, Ha Nam authorities and the Dutch government within the Facility for Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Food Security (FDOV) for the period from 2014 to 2018.

The project seeks to establish three dairy zones by 2018, each zone having about 50 dairy farms, producing at least 7,000 tonnes of fresh milk per year and creating approximately 350 jobs.
