In the New Agriculturist:

To support smallscale farmers, REST (Relief Society of Tigray) is working to improve awareness of dairy technology and establish milk marketing and processing cooperatives throughout Tigray. So far, more than 20 milk cooperatives have been established and over 400 members are supplying around 2,500 litres of milk every day

REST provided equipment for cheese & butter production

REST organises farmers into milk processing and marketing cooperatives, and also constructs milk centres. Each centre serves as a collection point, processor and marketing site. On arrival at the centre, the milk is tested to maintain quality, and the quantity of milk received is registered daily against the producer's name in a milk record book. The farmers are then paid monthly for the quantity of milk they have delivered.
