As a result, consuming milk and dairy products is viewed as an effective way to maintain good health, especially for children and individuals with growing bodies and developing bones. The nutritional benefits associated with milk have made it an integral part of the Bangladeshi diet.</p><div class="mb-20 mr-20 hide-for-print dfp-tag-wrapper text-center d-hide m-show"><div id="dfp-ad-en_three_special-wrapper" class="dfp-tag-wrapper">  <div id="dfp-ad-en_three_special" class="dfp-tag-wrapper"> <script type="text/javascript"> function advagg_mod_6() { // Count how many times this function is called. advagg_mod_6.count = ++advagg_mod_6.count || 1; try { if (advagg_mod_6.count <= 40) { googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("dfp-ad-en_three_special"); }); // Set this to 100 so that this function only runs once. advagg_mod_6.count = 100; } } catch(e) { if (advagg_mod_6.count >= 40) { // Throw the exception if this still fails after running 40 times. throw e; } else { // Try again in 250 ms. window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_6, 250); } } } function advagg_mod_6_check() { if (window.jQuery && window.Drupal && window.Drupal.settings) { advagg_mod_6(); } else { window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_6_check, 250); } } advagg_mod_6_check();</script> </div> </div></div> <p>Moreover, dairy products are frequently incorporated into traditional Bengali cuisine, enhancing the flavor and richness of various dishes. Milk is commonly used in preparing popular desserts like kheer (rice pudding) and mishti (sweets), which are cherished treats during festivals and special occasions. The creamy texture and distinct taste of dairy products have become an integral part of the culinary heritage and traditional flavors of Bangladesh.</p><div class="mb-20 mr-20 hide-for-print dfp-tag-wrapper text-center "><div id="dfp-ad-en_four_banner-wrapper" class="dfp-tag-wrapper">  <div id="dfp-ad-en_four_banner" class="dfp-tag-wrapper"> <script type="text/javascript"> function advagg_mod_7() { // Count how many times this function is called. advagg_mod_7.count = ++advagg_mod_7.count || 1; try { if (advagg_mod_7.count <= 40) { googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("dfp-ad-en_four_banner"); }); // Set this to 100 so that this function only runs once. advagg_mod_7.count = 100; } } catch(e) { if (advagg_mod_7.count >= 40) { // Throw the exception if this still fails after running 40 times. throw e; } else { // Try again in 250 ms. window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_7, 250); } } } function advagg_mod_7_check() { if (window.jQuery && window.Drupal && window.Drupal.settings) { advagg_mod_7(); } else { window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_7_check, 250); } } advagg_mod_7_check();</script> </div> </div></div> <p>Additionally, the dairy sector plays a significant role in the rural economy of Bangladesh, where agriculture and livestock rearing are prominent. Many Bangladeshis are involved in dairy farming, either as small-scale farmers or as part of cooperative societies. According to the latest Department of Livestock Services (DLS) data, there are 8-10 lakh small and big dairy farms across the country, and more than 2 crore people are involved in the sector. The dairy industry provides a source of income and livelihood for these people, contributing to the socio-economic development of rural communities.</p> <p>Furthermore, increasing awareness about the health benefits of milk and dairy products has influenced consumer preferences in Bangladesh. People are more conscious of maintaining a balanced diet and incorporating nutrient-rich foods into their meals.</p> <p>Recognizing this shift in consumer behavior, popular dairy brands have responded by making their products more affordable and appealing. For instance, Saleh Uz Zaman, Head of Public Relations and Communications at Arla Foods Bangladesh, highlights their efforts: "We introduced Dano Daily Pushti in sachets so that people can easily afford a glass of milk every day."</p><div class="mb-20 mr-20 hide-for-print dfp-tag-wrapper text-center "><div id="dfp-ad-en_five_banner-wrapper" class="dfp-tag-wrapper">  <div id="dfp-ad-en_five_banner" class="dfp-tag-wrapper"> <script type="text/javascript"> function advagg_mod_8() { // Count how many times this function is called. advagg_mod_8.count = ++advagg_mod_8.count || 1; try { if (advagg_mod_8.count <= 40) { googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("dfp-ad-en_five_banner"); }); // Set this to 100 so that this function only runs once. advagg_mod_8.count = 100; } } catch(e) { if (advagg_mod_8.count >= 40) { // Throw the exception if this still fails after running 40 times. throw e; } else { // Try again in 250 ms. window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_8, 250); } } } function advagg_mod_8_check() { if (window.jQuery && window.Drupal && window.Drupal.settings) { advagg_mod_8(); } else { window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_8_check, 250); } } advagg_mod_8_check();</script> </div> </div></div> <p>"By focusing on empathy to drive our operations in Bangladesh, we have successfully seen DANO being used daily in 1/3rd of the households in Bangladesh," he added.</p> <p>Despite the expansion of milk production across the country, it still falls short of fully meeting the national demand. The estimated annual demand for milk in Bangladesh is 156.68 lakh tonnes, while the country produced 130.74 lakh tonnes in the FY2021-22. As a result, the current availability of milk per capita is 208.61 ml per day, which is below the recommended minimum daily intake of 250 ml. This reveals a significant opportunity to increase milk production in the country and bridge the existing gap between demand and supply.</p> <p>While it is crucial to undertake initiatives aimed at increasing milk production and diversifying the dairy industry, it is equally important to prioritize sustainable practices that minimize the environmental impact of the sector. The commitment of the industry to responsible production and efficient supply chain management is vital for ensuring a resilient and environmentally friendly future.</p> <p>Encouragingly, Bangladesh has been witnessing a growing adoption of sustainable farming practices, improved resource management, and innovative technologies within the dairy sector. These efforts focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving water resources, and safeguarding biodiversity.</p> <p>Saleh Uz Zaman, representing Arla Foods Bangladesh, emphasizes their commitment to meeting the local market's requirements while maintaining sustainable practices. They have joined hands with Pran Dairy to promote a market-driven and sustainable approach to dairy production. This collaboration aims to enhance milk productivity, improve quality, and boost the economic output of the local dairy value chain in Bangladesh.</p> <p>In 2023, World Milk Day aims to emphasize how the dairy industry can actively work to reduce its environmental impact while simultaneously providing nutritious food options and sustaining livelihoods. By aligning efforts towards sustainable practices and fostering collaborations within the dairy industry, Bangladesh can ensure a prosperous future that balances the growing demand for milk with environmental stewardship and socioeconomic progress.</p> </div> <div class="mb-20 mr-20 hide-for-print dfp-tag-wrapper text-center"> <div id="dfp-ad-en_six_banner-wrapper" class="dfp-tag-wrapper">  <div id="dfp-ad-en_six_banner" class="dfp-tag-wrapper"> <script type="text/javascript"> function advagg_mod_9() { // Count how many times this function is called. advagg_mod_9.count = ++advagg_mod_9.count || 1;

The nutritional benefits associated with milk have made it an integral part of the Bangladeshi diet.</p><div class="mb-20 mr-20 hide-for-print dfp-tag-wrapper text-center d-hide m-show"><div id="dfp-ad-en_three_special-wrapper" class="dfp-tag-wrapper">  <div id="dfp-ad-en_three_special" class="dfp-tag-wrapper"> <script type="text/javascript"> function advagg_mod_12() { // Count how many times this function is called. advagg_mod_12.count = ++advagg_mod_12.count || 1; try { if (advagg_mod_12.count <= 40) { googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("dfp-ad-en_three_special"); }); // Set this to 100 so that this function only runs once. advagg_mod_12.count = 100; } } catch(e) { if (advagg_mod_12.count >= 40) { // Throw the exception if this still fails after running 40 times. throw e; } else { // Try again in 250 ms. window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_12, 250); } } } function advagg_mod_12_check() { if (window.jQuery && window.Drupal && window.Drupal.settings) { advagg_mod_12(); } else { window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_12_check, 250); } } advagg_mod_12_check();</script> </div> </div></div> <p>Moreover, dairy products are frequently incorporated into traditional Bengali cuisine, enhancing the flavor and richness of various dishes. Milk is commonly used in preparing popular desserts like kheer (rice pudding) and mishti (sweets), which are cherished treats during festivals and special occasions. The creamy texture and distinct taste of dairy products have become an integral part of the culinary heritage and traditional flavors of Bangladesh.</p><div class="mb-20 mr-20 hide-for-print dfp-tag-wrapper text-center "><div id="dfp-ad-en_four_banner-wrapper" class="dfp-tag-wrapper">  <div id="dfp-ad-en_four_banner" class="dfp-tag-wrapper"> <script type="text/javascript"> function advagg_mod_13() { // Count how many times this function is called. advagg_mod_13.count = ++advagg_mod_13.count || 1; try { if (advagg_mod_13.count <= 40) { googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("dfp-ad-en_four_banner"); }); // Set this to 100 so that this function only runs once. advagg_mod_13.count = 100; } } catch(e) { if (advagg_mod_13.count >= 40) { // Throw the exception if this still fails after running 40 times. throw e; } else { // Try again in 250 ms. window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_13, 250); } } } function advagg_mod_13_check() { if (window.jQuery && window.Drupal && window.Drupal.settings) { advagg_mod_13(); } else { window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_13_check, 250); } } advagg_mod_13_check();</script> </div> </div></div> <p>Additionally, the dairy sector plays a significant role in the rural economy of Bangladesh, where agriculture and livestock rearing are prominent. Many Bangladeshis are involved in dairy farming, either as small-scale farmers or as part of cooperative societies. According to the latest Department of Livestock Services (DLS) data, there are 8-10 lakh small and big dairy farms across the country, and more than 2 crore people are involved in the sector. The dairy industry provides a source of income and livelihood for these people, contributing to the socio-economic development of rural communities.</p> <p>Furthermore, increasing awareness about the health benefits of milk and dairy products has influenced consumer preferences in Bangladesh. People are more conscious of maintaining a balanced diet and incorporating nutrient-rich foods into their meals.</p> <p>Recognizing this shift in consumer behavior, popular dairy brands have responded by making their products more affordable and appealing. For instance, Saleh Uz Zaman, Head of Public Relations and Communications at Arla Foods Bangladesh, highlights their efforts: "We introduced Dano Daily Pushti in sachets so that people can easily afford a glass of milk every day."</p><div class="mb-20 mr-20 hide-for-print dfp-tag-wrapper text-center "><div id="dfp-ad-en_five_banner-wrapper" class="dfp-tag-wrapper">  <div id="dfp-ad-en_five_banner" class="dfp-tag-wrapper"> <script type="text/javascript"> function advagg_mod_14() { // Count how many times this function is called. advagg_mod_14.count = ++advagg_mod_14.count || 1; try { if (advagg_mod_14.count <= 40) { googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display("dfp-ad-en_five_banner"); }); // Set this to 100 so that this function only runs once. advagg_mod_14.count = 100; } } catch(e) { if (advagg_mod_14.count >= 40) { // Throw the exception if this still fails after running 40 times. throw e; } else { // Try again in 250 ms. window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_14, 250); } } } function advagg_mod_14_check() { if (window.jQuery && window.Drupal && window.Drupal.settings) { advagg_mod_14(); } else { window.setTimeout(advagg_mod_14_check, 250); } } advagg_mod_14_check();</script> </div> </div></div> <p>"By focusing on empathy to drive our operations in Bangladesh, we have successfully seen DANO being used daily in 1/3rd of the households in Bangladesh," he added.</p> <p>Despite the expansion of milk production across the country, it still falls short of fully meeting the national demand. The estimated annual demand for milk in Bangladesh is 156.68 lakh tonnes, while the country produced 130.74 lakh tonnes in the FY2021-22. As a result, the current availability of milk per capita is 208.61 ml per day, which is below the recommended minimum daily intake of 250 ml. This reveals a significant opportunity to increase milk production in the country and bridge the existing gap between demand and supply.</p> <p>While it is crucial to undertake initiatives aimed at increasing milk production and diversifying the dairy industry, it is equally important to prioritize sustainable practices that minimize the environmental impact of the sector. The commitment of the industry to responsible production and efficient supply chain management is vital for ensuring a resilient and environmentally friendly future.</p> <p>Encouragingly, Bangladesh has been witnessing a growing adoption of sustainable farming practices, improved resource management, and innovative technologies within the dairy sector. These efforts focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving water resources, and safeguarding biodiversity.</p> <p>Saleh Uz Zaman, representing Arla Foods Bangladesh, emphasizes their commitment to meeting the local market's requirements while maintaining sustainable practices. They have joined hands with Pran Dairy to promote a market-driven and sustainable approach to dairy production. This collaboration aims to enhance milk productivity, improve quality, and boost the economic output of the local dairy value chain in Bangladesh.</p> <p>In 2023, World Milk Day aims to emphasize how the dairy industry can actively work to reduce its environmental impact while simultaneously providing nutritious food options and sustaining livelihoods. By aligning efforts towards sustainable practices and fostering collaborations within the dairy industry, Bangladesh can ensure a prosperous future that balances the growing demand for milk with environmental stewardship and socioeconomic progress.</p> </div> <div class="mb-20 mr-20 hide-for-print dfp-tag-wrapper text-center"> <div id="dfp-ad-en_six_banner-wrapper" class="dfp-tag-wrapper">  <div id="dfp-ad-en_six_banner" class="dfp-tag-wrapper"> <script type="text/javascript"> function advagg_mod_15() { // Count how many times this function is called. advagg_mod_15.count = ++advagg_mod_15.count || 1;
