16 Sep 2019 --- Arla Foods has begun a public-private partnership in Nigeria with the local dairy sector to invest in small-scale farmers and strengthen its business position in the country. Kaduna State in northwestern Nigeria and the Nigerian government will offer 1,000 nomadic dairy farmers permanent farmlands with direct water access. Meanwhile, Arla will purchase, collect, process and bring the local milk to market. This partnership is the first of its size in Nigeria and foresees a balance between the development of the local dairy sector and imported milk and dairy products.
