I’ve been following discussions across social media about milk shortages in Rwanda. As a veterinary doctor, I believe we need a coordinated review of the challenges and a practical plan to strengthen milk supply and prevent future shortages.

I recommend a national workshop bringing together dairy industries, relevant government institutions, veterinary doctors and farmers to review production and supply challenges, agree on strategies and assign clear responsibilities.

Priorities should include year-round access to feed and water, fodder conservation, stronger animal health and breeding services, farmer training, and reliable milk collection and cold storage. Agreed actions need timelines and regular follow-up.
