Smallholder dairy farming systems contribute around 80% of milk production in Tanzania, with a significant role in improving the livelihood of farmers and poverty reduction through income generation and creation of employment. However due to the technical barriers they face, smallholder producers and processors do not attain the required standards for the regional and international milk markets. There is low usage of novel technologies and practices that would ensure high quality milk production, processing and marketing.The objectives of this project are:I) to develop and test mid infra-red spectrometer and mobile phone camera technologies to analyse milk quality in smallholder dairy production systems;II) to identify the optimal pattern for deployment of different levels of equipment (with different capabilities and costs) at milk collection centres, dairies and reference labs;III) to strengthen and facilitate adoption of milk quality diagnostic techniques by processors at milk collection centres and processing dairies; andIV) to develop an app and cloud-based data platform to promote information on milk safety standards and marketing along the dairy value chain.

小农奶牛养殖系统贡献了坦桑尼亚约80%的牛奶产量，通过创收和创造就业机会，在改善农民生计和减贫方面发挥了重要作用。然而，由于他们面临的技术壁垒，小农生产者和加工者没有达到区域和国际牛奶市场所要求的标准。本项目的目标是：I）开发和测试中红外光谱仪和移动的手机摄像头技术，以分析小农乳品生产系统中的牛奶质量;II）确定部署不同级别设备的最佳模式（能力和成本不同）在牛奶收集中心、牛奶场和参考实验室; III）加强和促进牛奶收集中心和加工乳品厂的加工者采用牛奶质量诊断技术;以及IV）开发一个应用程序和基于云的数据平台，以促进牛奶安全标准和沿着乳制品价值链营销的信息。
