The milk and dairy market is one of the most vibrant sectors within the food industry. New opportunities in emerging markets, changes in consumer demand, nutritional policy and the regulatory environment are among top issues facing the industry. SEDA was created to maximize the impact of these changes and promote and protect national dairy’s position. Also, on the top of our priorities is to work on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the dairy sector and promotion of enviromentally friendly milk processing.
Above mentioned goals will be implemented through focusing on following commitments:
PROMOTION OF EUROPEAN BEST PRACTICES
INCREASING FARMERS AWARENESS
DISSEMINATION OF GAINED KNOWLEDGE TO ALL OUR PARTNERS
One of our main courses of work will be promotion of role of milk and milk products in balanced diet. During implementation of all aspects of this promotional campaign, we will involve all our members (dairies) but we will not limit ourselves and cooperate only with dairies. In order to increase our coverage we will try to implement sustainable programs and reinforce cooperation with schools, medical institutions, scientific organizations and relevant Government bodies.
