Context:

The dairy industry in Indonesia was undergoing significant changes and facing various challenges. The country's demand for dairy products had been steadily increasing due to population growth and rising incomes, leading to a reliance on dairy imports to meet domestic needs. This had prompted efforts to boost domestic milk production through initiatives such as improved breeding programs, increased dairy cow numbers, and investments in dairy infrastructure. However, Indonesia's dairy industry still struggled with low milk yields per cow, limited access to quality feed, and challenges in milk processing and distribution. Furthermore, there was a growing interest in sustainable and organic dairy farming practices to meet consumer preferences.

Dairy Working Group is, a collaborative partnership encompassing private sector leaders, governmental bodies, non-profit organizations, and smallholder dairy farmers, is wholeheartedly committed to elevating both productivity and livelihoods within the dairy industry while upholding the principles of sustainability. Dairy WG core mission is to empower smallholders with the knowledge, resources, and ethical farming practices required to enhance dairy productivity, reduce environmental impact, and ensure equitable economic benefits. Through initiatives spanning improved animal husbandry, access to veterinary care, sustainable feed production, and fair market access, the initiative not only aims to increase smallholders' dairy yields and income but also champions responsible and environmentally conscious dairy farming. Dairy WG serves as a testament to the transformative power of public-private partnerships, exemplifying how collective efforts can drive positive change, secure the future of the dairy industry, and improve the well-being of rural communities in a sustainable and equitable manner.
