Good morning!

SSD Workshop Aims

• to brief APHCA members on the FAO SSD programme

• to share experiences on SSD from the Asia-Pacific region

• if appropriate, to develop a joint APHCA-FAO SSD initiative for the Asia-Pacific region

FAO and SSD

• Why we focus on SSD

• What we do with SSD

• What could/should we do next with SSD in the Asia-Pacific region?

Who are we? And why SSD?

FAO Animal Production and Health Division

Our mission:

to help clarify and facilitate the role of the global livestock sub-sector in food security, poverty alleviation, food safety and environmental sustainability

Animal Production and Health Division

Total Milk Consumption

Thailand

Estimated per caput milk consumption (litres/year)

Milk supply - the reality

Estimated per caput daily milk supply (in grams)

The Opportunity

• Smallholders produce majority of milk in developing countries

• Demand for milk is increasing much faster

• Over half of all milk and dairy products marketed in developing countries are imported - upwards of 100 billion litres of liquid milk equivalent annually

The Challenge

• The value of dairy imports increased by 43 % (1998 to 2001)

• Over 80 percent of all milk produced and sold in developing countries is handled by informal market traders - upwards of 200 billion litres of liquid milk equivalent annually

The dairy gaps

• improving informal milk marketing, making milk safer

• adapting technologies, affordable equipment

• providing organisational support for milk producers

• providing technical information

• tailoring training and awareness raising

Why SSD, and small and scale milk collection and processing?

• adds value to milk

• generates employment

• affordable consumer prices

• improves quality and safety

• reduces imports

  sustains rural livelihoods

SSD for rural household food security

• beneficiaries are mainly women and children

• improved family nutrition

• regular income to spend on basic family needs

SSD - what we do?

• technology transfer

• training

• information

Affordable technologies and processes for safe milk

• LP system of milk preservation

• in-pouch pasteurisation

• adapted processing technologies

• longer shelf life dairy products

Our Tools

• Field projects

  • field validation of technologies

  • strengthening of dairy organisations

  • setting up networks

• Publication of manuals and guidelines

• Internet WebPages

• Electronic conferences

• Workshops

Village milk system

Lactoperoxidase system + in-pouch pasteurisation:

• no post-pasteurization contamination

• up to 1,000 litres per day

• low investment, low running cost

• locally available packaging materials

FAO and SSD field learned experiences

• practical approaches to challenges

• specialised in small-scale dairy processing

• focus on safety and quality

• activities based on the importance of markets and the informal milk market in particular

• strong partnerships with national, regional and international stakeholders through projects and activities delivered

The way forward for SSD in Asia-Pacific?

• how do we reach more people and more countries?

• how can we collaborate with more national stakeholders and regional partners?

• how can we become more efficient and effective in our delivery of SSD?

SSD Workshop Aims

• to brief APHCA members on the FAO SSD programme

• to share experiences on SSD from the Asia-Pacific region

• if appropriate, to develop a joint APHCA-FAO SSD initiative

We need more SSD milk in Asia

Thank you!
