Cooperative rural dairies in Ecuador
Quality and access to the national market for cooperative dairies, where 70% of the milk comes from small family farms.
An estimated 70% of the milk produced in Ecuador comes from family farms with 5–20 head of cattle. Creating and strengthening cooperatives to collect milk and process it into cheese and other products is therefore socially and economically crucial: the project improved production quality and helped rural dairies compete on the national market.
