Abstract

Zimbabwe's dairy sector is in a perilous state. Milk production has declined by more than 74% from 187 million litres in 2000, to a projected minus 50 million this year. Contributing to this decline are the ongoing controversial farm invasions that have seen the number of producers dropping from 514 in 1990, to the current figure of less than 100.
