The IIAP project’s research on SME inclusion in the dairy processing industry in Tanzania started in June 2019 with a stakeholder workshop in Dar. This was followed by interviews with key informants and a survey of SME dairy processors. Key informant interviews included officials from the public sector (Ministries, Departments and Agencies-MDAs), Non-Government Organizations (NGOs), private and sector operators including large dairy processing companies.

By the end of June 2020 the research team had conducted 17 in-depth surveys with small firms as well as interviews with Key Informants in the MDAs and actors across the value chain in Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Mwanza, Simiyu, Mara, Iringa, and Tanga. The respondents shared their experiences on the progress, successes and challenges facing the dairy industry, particularly on promoting SMEs participation in dairy agro-processing value chain.
