Value Chain Assessment of Milk and Dairy Products in Northeast Syria

Conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic have had a significant impact on the dairy sector in Syria, with a 47% drop in milk production between 2010 and 2019, leading to food insecurity and nutrition problems for many Syrians. In response, the Food Security and Livelihoods Cluster (FSL) in Northeast Syria (NES) and iMMAP assessed the dairy value chain in NES, focusing on input supply chain management and output markets for milk and dairy products in the region. The assessment aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the dairy value chain in Northeast Syria, including the current state of the sector, stakeholder challenges and potential opportunities for growth and development.
