Sustainability is the long-term availability of a category of services in the dairy support market through

KDSCP has engaged at the various levels of the dairy market to make the whole market work better

Stimulating the startup and improvement of business services focused on the business issues of

Supporting service and input providers to develop and offer demand based services

Enabling the implementation of quality certification frameworks
Assisting industry institutions to perform their role in creating an enabling environment for the
