The Tanzanian government, through the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, continues to implement the Dairy Industry Transformation and Climate Change Project (C-SDTP), aimed at increasing milk and meat production using modern breeding technologies.
This was announced on March 23, 2026, by Stephen Michael, Director of Production and Market Development at the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries, during the opening of a breeding training program for livestock experts at the National Artificial Insemination Centre (NAIC) in Arusha.
The initiative seeks to improve productivity and meet both domestic and international market demands.
“These training sessions are a critical step in equipping experts with modern skills that will enable them to serve livestock farmers more effectively, thereby increasing productivity and meeting the needs of local and export markets,” said Mr. Michael.
Meanwhile, Acting Director of the NAIC, Dr. Dafay Bura, emphasized that the main objective of the training is to empower livestock specialists to assist farmers in improving livestock breeds, which will ultimately enhance milk and meat production in the country.
Additionally, Patricia Ngoda, Production and Animal Health Officer for the C-SDTP, explained that the project will provide tools to help beneficiaries be reached more efficiently, as well as facilitate the digital reporting of project data.
Alongside the training, the project will also supply breeding equipment, motorcycles, and digital tools to increase production and add value to livestock products.
