Pakistan Dairy Development Company (PDDC or, as
it is commonly known, “Dairy Pakistan”)
has been established to drive the development of
the Pakistan dairy sector. Dairy Pakistan is a Public-Private
sector joint initiative to bring about structural
long term change in the dairy industry in Pakistan.
With a vision to turn Pakistan into one of the top
five dairy manufacturing countries in the world,
Dairy Pakistan is embarking on a phased plan targeting
all the key players in the dairy sector. Dairy Pakistan
is chartered to coordinate, manage and facilitate
initiatives leading to the development of the dairy
sector in the country.
Dairy Pakistan is a company established under Section
42 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984 and was incorporated
as Pakistan Dairy Development Company on the 9th
September 2005. The establishment of Dairy Pakistan
was a result of recommendations made by the Dairy
SWOG (Strategic Working Group). SWOG is a body representing
the major players and stakeholders in the dairy
chain, including farmers, processors, marketers
and the government. The Company is being funded
primarily by the Government of Pakistan and partly
by the private sector.
Dairy Pakistan has been established under the guidance
of the Ministry of Industries, Production and Special
Initiatives.
The Board of Directors of Pakistan Dairy Development
Company is made up of representatives of both the
private and public sectors, with one representative
of an agricultural University. A majority of Directors
are from the private sector, and according to the
Articles of Association of the Company, the Chairman
must always be from the private sector.
The first public action of Dairy Pakistan took place
when advertisements seeking applications for its
Model Farm and Cooling Tank Programmes were placed
in May, 2006. At the same time, advertisements seeking
pre-qualification of suppliers to these programmes
were placed.
