Ocampo, P.O.
There is a continuing increase in the number of animals being milked and a corresponding increase in the quantities of milk being produced. But the annual yield per cow in developing countries is yet to reach one ton per cow per year. In the Philippines, cattle population as of Jan 1, 1995 increased by almost 4 percent. Of the 1.99 M head, 91% belong to the backyard sector and 9% on the commercial sector. The local dairy production increase by a mere 0.93 percent. The country has managed to export 460 MT at US$1.35M in the farms in the form of milk, cream and cheese. These were exported to Hongkong, Malaysia, Singapore and Japan, among others. On the other hand, volume of importation continued its upward trend. Each Filipino is allowed to consume only 16 kilograms of milk, a figure which is 41% below the recommended dietary allowance of 30 kilograms/year/person. On the average, prices of milk and milk products in the local market moved up from 1.67 to 9.12 percent. National Dairy Development Act of 1995 (R.A. 7884) is discussed in this paper
