The Pearl dairy Farmers Community (PDFC) is an initiative by the (PDFL) Pearl Dairy Farms Limited (a leading Dairy manufacturing company based in Mbarara, Uganda) and IFC (International Finance Corporation). Since PDFLs’ inception in 2013, the company has been procuring its raw material, milk, from farmers and cooperatives around the manufacturing facility in Mbarara. Before its operations, the wastage of milk in the region was over 50% of the produce and due to its proximity to the farming community, the company has been instrumental in reducing the wastage of milk.
The PDFC initiative began in mid-2017 and has been steadily growing in its offerings and platforms to benefit the farming community in the local region. From May 2018, the PDFC has been fully involved in its Dairy Extension activities through its Dairy Development Program (DDP). The DDP includes the selection and training of 50 Dairy Development Executives (DDEs) and to provide hands-on advice to 1,000 commercial dairy farmers in the South Western Region of Uganda. Moreover, training and support are provided to the staff of Pearl Dairy, milk supplying cooperatives and its member farmers.
