The Zimbabwean dairy subsector consists of a number of actors from input suppliers, milk producers, processors, transporters to service providers. The subsector was and remains dominated by production from the large-scale commercial farms and of late by imports. As a result of the land reform in 2000 and macroeconomic policies, milk production plunged from an all-time annual high of 262 million litres to the current 51 million litres, which falls far short of the demand estimated at 180 million litres. The Dairy Development Programme set up 24 smallholder dairy schemes, but the majority of these became dysfunctional during 2007/2008 as a result of hyperinflation at farmer and MCC level. The main purpose of this evaluation was to assess the status of all the MCCs in the country and to devise market based solutions in order to rebuild the capacities of these MCCs.
