We foster the use of a free mobile app called Collect Mobile to digitalize our suppliers of raw milk. Dairy factories in Kazakhstan buy milk from hundreds of small farms and having this digital solution saves time for supply chain management and allows dairies to provide better support to small farmers. With support from the FAO and EBRD, we developed standard reports using Power BI to analyze the data. This is helpful to improve food safety parameters and milk and plan milk procurement quantities.
We believe the innovation consists in bringing the tool (Collect Mobile) from forestry to agribusiness and in trying to establish a direct dialogue with our farmers, by-passing the middlemen (milk traders). thanks to the survey, developed by the FAO experts, dairies' staff holds a direct dialogue with small farmers and this will lead to relations of trust and mutual understanding. We believe only trust and responsible behavior from both sides of the value chain can result in inclusiveness and competitiveness of the industry as a whole.
Our industry association unites milk processors of Kazakhstan. Every year, Kazakhstan's dairy industry buys over 2 M tons of raw milk from farmers, 50% of them are smallholder farmers. Giving them a hand requires knowing them, understanding their performance. Collect Mobile for us is very helpful in that.
