Common with many other agricultural industries, the South African dairy sector is optimistic, despite the obstacles they face. Farmers and industry players alike strive to build a more sustainable and competitive industry and this week we meet, Kireshni Naiker, an animal scientist and the programme co-ordinator of an event for Mzansi’s farmers to do just that.

She chats to us about the much anticipated three day conference hosted by KPR conference and trading at the Ascot Conference Centre in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu Natal focused on sharing guidelines to dairy farming in South Africa for sustainability and profitability.
