95% of Bamako’s dairy products consumption is ensured through milk powder importations, while Mali is one of the most important dairy cattle countries in West Africa. This study aims at analyzing milk production practices and determining elements to understand why milk production around Bamako doesn’t raise despite that consumption is growing fast, and propose solutions to improve that situation. In order to answer that question, we’ll study physical, geographical and technical aspects of milk production around Bamako through interviews and field work realized between February and May, 2008.
