He highlighted the importance of sustainable dairy farming and ensuring farmers receive the necessary support to expand their businesses.
Mr. Ephraim Israel, Manager of Yala Agro Industry Milk Processing Factory, noted that a favorable economic environment has been created for Bonke-area farmers, enabling them to benefit from financial resources and expand their dairy farming operations. He encouraged farmers to leverage these opportunities to boost milk production and contribute to the local economy.
