Western Cape Minister of Agriculture Dr Ivan Meyer celebrated World Milk Day with learners from the JJ Rhode PS in Elsenburg last Thursday, 1 June. The occasion was established in 2001 by the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations to recognise the importance of milk as a global food. “While the number of producers in South Africa has declined by 46% from January 2015 to January 2022, milk production has increased by 7,2%,” Meyer said. “This indicates increased output per cow and more significant numbers of cows per producer, to name a few reasons. The Western Cape is home to 33% of the milk producers in South Africa. The annual World Milk Day provides the perfect opportunity to spread the word that milk is an integral part of a healthy balanced diet and to express gratitude to milk producers, agri-workers and agri-businesses for working tirelessly to make milk accessible to consumers.”Foto:
