The Nestlé Milk
District Model involves:
- Milk collection centres featuring payment systems, quality and safety controls, electronic weighing equipment and cooling tanks.
- Free technical and animal husbandry support to improve milk quality.
- Free veterinary services.
- Transportation and infrastructure networks.
- USD 25 million of microfinance loans each year.
- Prompt payment to farmers for each milk delivery.
- The goodness of milk
Nutrition and wellness have always been at the core of Nestlé products, and milk has always been an important part of this equation. Founded in 1866 in Switzerland, Nestlé grew from two small companies producing milk-based products, into the world's foremost nutrition, health and wellness company. - MILK COLLECTION CENTRE: Nestlé buys fresh milk from some 40 000 Chinese farmers and provides them with an overall regular income of around CHF 500 000 per day, fostering rural sustainable development for the communities concerned.
- Today, in terms of sales value, Nestlé is the world’s largest milk company, sourcing more than 12 million tonnes of fresh milk equivalents from more than 30 countries. We purchase more than half of our milk locally as fresh milk (close to 7 million tonnes per year).
- Working with farmers
Nestlé works with more than 600 000 farmers – most of whom operate small farms – to have a reliable, safe and high-quality milk supply. By adapting the Swiss Milk District System to dairy farming in developing countries around the world, the Nestlé proven and systematic approach is able to contribute to poverty reduction and improved nutrition on a wide scale.
Pakistan - Nestlé invests more than
USD 180 million a year in milk sourcing in Pakistan, and USD 3
million in milk-related operations, agricultural and technical
support, and training for farmers. Through milk delivery points in 2
000 villages, more than 135 000 dairy farmers supply close to half a
million tonnes of milk a year to two Nestlé factories. A partnership
with the United Nations Development Programme is also training 4 000
female livestock workers
