Midstream Operations: Ensuring Quality and Sustainability in Milk Sourcing

At L&Z we prioritize the sourcing of raw milk to complement the milk produced by our own cows. Our midstream operations are designed for efficiency, sustainability, and community empowerment.

Ethical Sourcing Model:
Over time, we’ve developed a robust sourcing model for raw milk from pastoralists across Kano and Jigawa States. Here’s how we ensure a responsible and inclusive approach:

To maintain the freshness and quality of raw milk until processing, we invest in state-of-the-art bulk milk cooling storage facilities. These facilities ensure that the milk remains at optimal temperatures, preserving its nutritional value and integrity.

Ethical Sourcing Model
Over time, we’ve developed a robust sourcing model for raw milk from pastoralists across Kano and Jigawa States. Here’s how we ensure a responsible and inclusive approach:

  • Solar-Powered Milk Collection Centers: Our dedication to sustainability extends to our five solar-powered Milk Collection Centers. These centers provide pastoralists in nearby areas with convenient access to sell their raw milk directly to us.
  • Direct Supplier Relationships: We work with individual aggregators and suppliers who share our commitment to quality and ethical practices. This direct relationship ensures traceability and quality control throughout the sourcing process.
  • Community Engagement: Our teams actively engage with dairy communities, aggregating and offloading raw milk directly from the source. This not only supports local economies but also fosters trust and collaboration within the dairy supply chain.
