Dairy farmers see milk yield decrease of 20% 

AMMAN — Milk yield has decreased by around 20 per cent over the last period, according to stakeholders.

“Every day, between 600 to 700 tonnes of fresh milk is produced, and especially if it’s from smallholder or small-scale farms, requires a clear marketing strategy, in order not to have slack demand,” said President of the Cooperative Society for Cow Breeders Ali Ghabayen.

Ghabayen said that there is also an urgent need for farmers to cooperate with the relevant governmental authorities to optimise the dairy cattle industry.
