ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTED
In 2008, SOCODEVI initiated a support program for small dairy producing families in the provinces of Lviv and Dnipropetrovsk in Ukraine. With our local partners, the agricultural extension services in both regions, we concentrated on improving dairy production efficiency at the farm level, developing individual and associative entrepreneurship and optimizing product commercialization.
Our ongoing support to the Ukrainian dairy sector has allowed thousands of farmers to access technical assistance and improve their production significantly. The success of our intervention with Ukrainian dairy producers can be attributed to the expertise of the Agropur dairy cooperative, an institutional member of our network.
