it is now called sameer agriculture and livestock limited. the liberalisation of the sector paved way for private sector players. processors such as gbk, ra - milk, country taste, highland creameries and paramount diaries begun buying and processing milk in southwestern region. some like ra - milk, country taste and highland creameries have since folded or changed names .
out of at least 30 milk processors in the country, 18 are from the south western region. key milk processors in the region include sameer, pearl dairy, jesa farm dairy, gbk, hill top and paramount diaries .
ucccu is a registered limited liability cooperative currently owned by nine district unions. it was established in 2005 and is registered under the 1991 cooperative union act, registration number 7231, by the ministry of trade, industry and cooperatives (mtti). ucccu is a commercial arm of uganda national dairy farmers association (undafa) and is a national union .
as a result of ucccu’s effective lobbying, farm gate prices have risen from the ugx 100 per liter of milk that prevailed before the association was formed, to the prevailing farm gate prices of 500 - 600 ugx per liter. additionally a price floor of 300 ugx has been fixed with sameer agricultural and livestock limited (sall), the largest milk processor in uganda .
created in october 1992, paramount dairies ltd (pdl) started as a small family business with a focus of producing fine uganda cheese. it has experienced steady growth since it was first created, emerging as a leading dairy brand in uganda and some regional markets. the company approach to cheese - making is one reliant on local resources and skills; a living demonstration that dairy - processing can be an affordable rural - based industry. today, pdl produces more than 8 cheese - types in a variety of packaging as well as several cream products; all now found in the major supermarkets of the capital and in many of the larger towns of uganda. as a social - developer, pdl employs, trains and engages more than 50 men and women, mostly rural - based, and supports dozens of small - scale dairy farmers in a just and fair milk market .
the government started stocking exotic dairy breeds in 1960s to increase milk production. in 1967, dairy industry act was enacted leading to the setting up of dairy corporation that became responsible for development, marketing and regulating the industry .
a master plan was then developed in 1993 calling for the liberalisation of milk marketing, a dairy board be created to oversee the liberalised industry and the dairy corporation be privatised .
the 1998 dairy industry act then created the dairy development authority (dda) and a purely commercial company the dairy corporation ltd (dcl). dda took over the development and regulatory functions of the dairy industry and dcl was to be divested which took place in 2006 .
farmers in ankole and kigezi have come together through uganda crane creameries cooperative union (ucccu). ucccu has 10 unions and 110 primary societies with more than 140 milk collection centres. they are building a multi - billion milk processing plant in ruti, mbarara which will begin processing milk in two years time .
the cooperative members’ milk has increased to more than 2, 000 litres from 1600 litres in the past. they own 1, 000 and 6, 000 litre coolers in mbarara and isingiro districts. another milk plant is being built by indians at akagate in sanga sub - county in kiruhura district .
dairy authority dairy development authority is a statutory body under the ministry of agriculture, animal industry and fisheries created under the dairy industry act of 1998 with a mandate to develop and regulate the dairy industry in a sustainable manner. the authority’s tangible result is the investment drive and positioning of the dairy sector as a potential contributor to the economic development of uganda .
dairy animal population exotic and cross breed cattle constitute less than 20% of the cattle population of uganda estimated at about 11. 4 million cattle. this sector produces around 60% of all milk in uganda and about 40% of the milk comes from local breeds .
milk production uganda produces about 721, 000 litres of milk per day of which only 20% is processed the remaining bulk is utilized unprocessed. the milk production by region is as follows :
market analysis there is a high demand for dairy products in urban centres of uganda and hotels, schools, hospitals and dairy processing industries. export of live heifers uganda has of recent been exporting a number of live heifers and bulls to neighbouring countries which has consequently led to decline in the milk production .
uganda is producing and marketing a range of dairy products such as pasteurized milk, uht milk, yoghurt, ice cream, sour butter, sweet cream. z
milk coolers uganda has 628 milk coolers for milk bulking and milk retailing across the country with a total capacity of about 1, 183, 761 litres per day .
as the east africa economic integration becomes a reality, both kigali (capital of rwanda) and kampala (capital of uganda) will provide constant growth markets for dairy products. to meet these needs, pdl will undertake the following :

purpose. the show aimed at empowering farmers in best practices in dairy animal husbandry .
mbarara. stakeholders in the uganda dairy industry say the future looks bright following several interventions by the government to grow the enterprise, seen as a key component in turning the wheels of the economy especially in the rural areas .
processors, input suppliers and agro - industry financiers are optimistic that with more stakeholder commitment, the contribution of dairy to the country’s gross domestic product could rise above the 10 per cent mark. speaking during this year’s uganda livestock and heritage show at kakyeka stadium in mbarara district over the weekend, industry players spoke of renewed efforts to stimulate milk production by encouraging farmers to adopt best practices on the farm .
milk industry leader in the country, fresh dairy, said income from export of milk products had risen by more than 20 per cent over the past one year as a result of increased production at the farm gates. “in the past 12 months, our production has risen to more than 500, 000 litres per day following sustained efforts by farmers to grow daily production. this saw the value of our exports rise to $ 10 million (shs33. 6 billion), thereby putting milk as a critical foreign exchange earner for the country, ” mr john gethi, fresh dairy director of milk procurement, said. he attributed the rise in value of exports to improved product quality after the company invested in a $ 14 million plant upgrade at its kampala processing factory .
“because of the favourable investment climate in uganda, we paid farmers shs50 billion last year and boosted the capacity of our raw milk cooling stations in the country to enable them take more milk from farmers. we are grateful to dairy farmers who have embraced our stringent milk quality regime right from the farm - gates, ” mr gethi said, adding: “the expansion has come with new job opportunities and in the past year alone, over 90 ugandans have secured employment to work with us in our new growth strategy. ” the show, which attracted hundreds of farmers, was held to create empowerment for farmers in best practice in dairy animal husbandry. input suppliers, agro - vet traders and financial institutions were also in attendance .
farmers interviewed said there was an urgent need to move dairy farming from being rain - dependent. “dairy farming has become seasonal with milk volumes increasing during the rains and when the dry season comes, production goes down, ” mr ronald ssengendo, a smallholder farmer from rushere, said, adding: “this explains why i am very keen on the animal feed stands here. i want to learn how to make and preserve animal feed to enable my production remain optimum throughout all seasons. ” many farmers spoken to thanked processors for making assured monthly payments for milk delivered .

uganda crane creameries cooperative union (ucccu) is an organization that brings together dairy farmers and farmer organizations in over nine districts in western uganda. ucccu represents over 16, 000 dairy farmers in south western uganda and, nationwide, serves over 30, 000 dairy farmers through linkages to the market. ucccu’s vision is
… to be a leading farmer owned provider of high quality dairy products and services in the east african region .
dairy cooperatives are more developed in south - western uganda than any other part of the country. at the time ucccu was formed, a consensus among dairy farmers was reached that, with the cooperative movement in other parts of the country in transition, ucccu should start working in south - western uganda where cooperatives already existed, and other farmers would join later as their cooperatives develop. in 2007, a secretariat was established in mbarara with support from swedish cooperative centre (scc), under the enhancement of the dairy productivity (edp) project. the secretariat coordinates all the processes of making the unions stronger to increase membership and advocates for better policies. ucccu has also mobilized funds from farmers and development partners to support the construction of a processing plant .
ucccu has a three tier organizational structure – the secretariat is answerable to the elected board, which is appointed by the annual general meeting (agm), the apex body comprised of the representatives across uganda’s regions. each of the district unions has a representative on the board of ucccu who works in close collaboration with the resident field officer at the secretariat of ucccu. selection of a representative to the board of ucccu is done by election in the agm of the various member unions. mr. george w. nuwagira is the current chairman of the board of ucccu. mr. arinanye clayton, project manager / general manager, heads the secretariat .
the following district unions have been members of ucccu since 2007: bushenyi dairy industry cooperative union (budicu), inka – ibanda, ankole dairy products (adp), rukungiri dairy farmers union (rukdfu), mbarara dairy farmers cooperative union (mbadfcu), ntungamo dairy farmers cooperative union (ndafcu), and banyakigezi. sheema union joined later in 2009 and isingiro union has been admitted as the ninth member following a resolution of the fifth annual general meeting held on 30th march 2012 .
over the years, ucccu has achieved successes in various fields such as member mobilization, lobbying and advocacy, farmer training, and organization development of member cooperatives. ucccu is also striving to increase its members’ income developing the milk processing supply chain .
ucccu is currently in the final stage of constructing a milk processing plant, where it plans to process its members’ milk. the plant will be equipped to produce three products – pasteurized milk, uht milk and yogurt. the plant, when completed, will have the capacity to process up to 200, 000 litres of milk per day. although uht milk production is expected to start at later stage of the project, the processed milk products analysis will be conducted based on an assumption that uht milk production will begin in 2013. the selected consultant will be provided with a copy of ucccu’s business plan to use in conducting the raw milk supply analysis .
the plant has been financed by the own contributions of the members. each dairy farmer in southwestern uganda can buy at least one share. each share is valued at 300, 000 uganda shillings. the more the shares owned by a farmer, the higher the rate of return on investment. in this way the project will have a big multiplier effect in the region because a big percentage of returns will trickle down to farmers who are the owners. shares can be bought for cash, by offering live cows (which are later sold on open market or auctioned during ucccu functions and the amount realized converted into shares) or through retainage from milk deliveries (the proceeds of which are deposited in ucccu bank accounts) .
various development partners like swedish cooperative center (scc), land o’ lakes and agriterra have given support to ucccu to mobilize farmers into cooperatives, capacity building and institution development .
ucccu is in the process of completing construction of the milk processing plant in mbarara. it is currently working with uncdf and the global clearinghouse for development finance (globaldf) as part of the local financing initiative in uganda to secure technical support and funding to complete the milk processing plant (including the purchase of the necessary equipment) and to make it operational. ucccu and globaldf have signed a memorandum of understanding to work together and for globaldf to serve as ucccu’s main financial advisor to arrange financing for the completion and operation of the milk processing plant .
a key part of globaldf’s efforts is to assist ucccu obtain commercial funding to complete, equip and operate the milk processing plant in mbarara. globaldf will assist with the preparation of adequate documentation to allow lenders to evaluate the feasibility of the project and to understand the risks involved in its achieving financial viability. the ability of ucccu to sell its processed milk products at an adequate level of profit is critical to the success of the new ucccu processing plant. the analysis called for by this rfp is designed to: (1) assess the market for processed milk products in the domestic and export markets being targeted by ucccu, (2) identify risks to ucccu’s ability to sell its processed milk products at prices that will cover its operating costs and debt service payments, and (3) identify the specific steps and measures that can be taken to minimize such risks .
the purpose of this analysis is to gather factual information about the market for processed milk products in the markets that ucccu is targeting, analyze the risks in the marketing of processed milk products, and propose measures that can be taken to minimize such risks .
the objective of the study is to assist ucccu in implementing an independent technical study of the market required for securing commercial financing for the new ucccu plant in mbarara .
the contractor will need to undertake a survey to obtain information on the processed milk product market needed to prepare a financial model for the ucccu milk processing plant in mbarara and to analyze key opportunities and risks that ucccu will face in establishing itself in the processed milk business .

the latest report from diary development authority (dda) indicates that the local dairy sub sector is estimated to grow at a rate of 8 - 10 per cent annually, boosted by government’s efforts to build milk collection centres across the country which pay on average shs800 - shs1200 per litre of raw milk supplied by the farmers .
according to the dda report, in 2016, milk exports to regional neighbours like kenya, rwanda, burundi, drc, south sudan as well as the middle east, fetched uganda us $ 752 million (263. 20 billion) .
the report also shows that uganda’s milk imports have gone down, due to the steady growth of the dairy sub sector. uganda used to import most its dairy products from neighbouring kenya which has a well - developed dairy sub sector .
majority of the dairy farmers are in western uganda, which has expansive savannah grasslands suitable for dairy farming .
uganda could be collecting more milk from farmers but its dairy sub sector is disorganized, dominated by small - holder farmers who don’t have capacity to produce milk for commercial purposes .
the report says uganda has 355 milk collection centres with total chilling capacity of 1. 5 billion litres. about 219 dairy farmer cooperatives supply the collection centres with milk .
the brief report shows that 80% of the total national milk produced is marketed domestically and international, while the farming households consume 20 per cent .
the report further shows that 33 per cent of the milk marketed is processed while the remaining 67% is sold in raw form .
milk in uganda is traded alongside its bi - products such as butter, yogurt and ice cream, providing consumers with fats, proteins and vitamins .
this year, under operation wealth creation, government targets to distribute two million head of cattle to farmers for milk production .
despite the availability of market, uganda’s dairy sub sector faces challenges of poor storage facility, sanitation, as well as the poor transport and telecommunication infrastructure in the rural areas .
in a related development the per capita milk consumption in uganda is still low, a person consuming only 60 litres per annum as of 2016 from the 40 litres consumed in 2001 .
jim is responsible for our milk procurement and logistics. he has worked in the dairy industry for 22 years and joined us in 2007. since then, jim has developed the producer milk pool from 150 farmers with 120 million litres to more than 650 farmers with 650 million litres .
