http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Israeli-Vietnamese-dairy-experts-partner-to-improve-milk-quality-and-yield-in-Ho-Chi-Minh-City-385777
Israeli and Vietnamese experts are increasing milking efficiency and quality at the Vietnamese dairy giant Vinamilk. The Dairy Demonstration and Experimental Farm, managed by the Israeli Foreign Ministry’s Mashav Agency for International Development Cooperation and the Israeli Agriculture Ministry’s Center for International Agricultural Development Cooperation, is helping Vietnamese farmers improve their milking conditions. The farm aims to increase the average milk production per cow from 3,500 liters per year to 8,000 liters per year. The farm also provides seminars and training to local farmers. A start-up Israeli venture is working on establishing a private factory in the region to sell premixed cow feed. The process of implementing changes is slow due to the financial constraints of the farmers.
