Philippine milk output reached 20.38 million litres in 2015, up 3% from 19.73 million litres the previous year, data from the National Dairy Administration (NDA) showed. Since 2010, milk output has been slowly but steadily rising as farm productivity improved. According to the NDA, a growing number of players are investing in the industry. One local player however, told Asian Agribiz that production is still negligible in relation to the country’s total milk requirement, adding that one of the biggest challenges local dairy farmers face today is getting the right feed to help the animals reach their genetic potential.
