In developing countries, dairy products play a very important role in food security and food safety.

Abstract
In developing countries, dairy products play a very important role in food security and food safety. In Africa, many problems have hindered local milk production making dried milk imports from western countries necessary. Milk production should be improved to allow these countries to unburden themselves from their economic ties and to reduce health problems related to the use of dried milk. An analysis on the area of intervention, through a feasibility study, has allowed the collection of enough data to identify the appropriate framework of operation for the organization of a milk commodity system in the urban and periurban area of Maroua. The study has made possible the writing of a project presented to and financed by the Cariplo Foundation. Research and activities undertaken have permitted sustainable and long-lasting interventions. In particular the organization, rationalization and training of farmers and their wives, the creation of the milk analysis laboratory and the collection centre have allowed the implementation of the milk chain in the city. This has also guaranteed that milk sold in the market of Maroua is checked for quality so that milk hygienically unsafe is not distributed.Pubblicazioni consigliate
