The Zimbabwe Association of Dairy Farmers (ZADF)

Promoting, Advancing and Developing the Production of Milk and Dairy Products

Established over 30 years ago, originally as the National Association of Dairy Farmers – NADF – the Association grew in leaps and bounds, and in 2013, was re-branded to the Zimbabwe Association of Dairy Farmers (ZADF).

Its Aims and Objectives are:

  • To promote, advance and develop the production of milk and dairy products in Zimbabwe;
  • To advance and protect the interests of all sections and categories of producers;
  • By so doing, to play a pivotal anchor role in the dairy industry in Zimbabwe.

    to meet them;
  • Communicating with major milk buyers to encourage payment of a viable price for raw milk;
  • Arranging discussion groups and field days for all levels of producers;
  • Maintaining membership of relevant regional and international dairy organisations, so that Members are included in the international dairy industry;
