KILIMANJARO DAIRY COOPERATIVE JOINT ENTERPRISE LIMITED.

Kilimanjaro Dairy Cooperatives joint Enterprise Limited (JE) is the umbrella organization for Primary Dairy Cooperatives that was registered in July, 2017 under Cooperative Laws Act No. 6 of 2013. It was formed by fourteen (14) primary dairy cooperatives that are involved in milk sale as their major business in Hai District – Kilimanjaro Region.  These dairy cooperatives agreed together to form and implement a Joint Enterprise as an Umbrella body for the Dairy Cooperatives in Kilimanjaro Region. 

Later on, four (4) cooperatives from Siha District joined the Enterprise and the motive is to eventually increase outreach to the whole region of Kilimanjaro. Currently JE has 18 member Cooperatives, serving more than 3716 where by 961 are men and 2755 are women.

The essence of establishment of umbrella organization in Kilimanjaro was triggered by the intent to become more competitive in the formal dairy business which has become one of the main economic pillars for most rural households in Kilimanjaro Region after the decline of the coffee sector.
