Agrizone conducted a comprehensive assessment of the milk value chain to identify key opportunities, constraints, and market dynamics affecting producers, traders, processors, and consumers across Somaliland.
The study provides critical insights needed to strengthen the dairy sector and improve livelihoods for households involved in milk production and marketing.
Our Approach & Methodology
To ensure accuracy and practical relevance, Agrizone used a mixed-methods approach that included:
Field surveys with dairy farmers and milk collectors
Key informant interviews with processors, traders, and cooperatives
Focus group discussions with producer groups and women’s associations
Market observation across key trading hubs
Desk review of existing reports, policies, and market data
Gender and inclusion analysis to understand women and youth roles in the value chain
This methodology ensured a holistic understanding of production, handling, processing, trading, and consumption patterns.
