LOCAL dairy producer Dutch Lady Milk Industries Berhad (Dutch Lady Malaysia) has embarked on its Farmer2Farmer programme (F2F) for the second time in collaboration with the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) and the Embassy of the Netherlands.

First launched in 2013, the F2F is a part of Dutch Lady Malaysia’s Dairy Development Programme, which is aimed at enhancing the local dairy industry by improving the quality and volume of milk produced locally, thereby developing local farmers’ skills and improving their livelihoods.
