The Holland initiated Value4Dairy Consortium has received a 5 million USD grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The consortium which is led by the Dutch dairy cooperative Royal FrieslandCampina will use this money to boost dairy productivity and sustainability in Nigeria. The four partners in the Value4Dairy Consortium are: FrieslandCampina WAMCO (a subsidiary of FrieslandCampina and Nigeria’s leading dairy company); Agrifirm (a Holland based global cooperative that operates in the animal nutrition and crop farming business). Barenbrug (a Holland based grass and forage seed company), and URUS (a USA headquartered global leader in artificial insemination, genetics, and herd management systems).
