Celebrating World Milk Day
This Thursday 1 June we come together with the global dairy sector as a community to celebrate World Milk Day, in recognition of the importance of milk. It’s a simple, natural way to acknowledge the people who make it all possible and to focus on the environmental, nutritional and societal impacts of the dairy sector.
This year, the focus of World Milk Day is to showcase the ways in which dairy is reducing its environmental footprint, while also providing livelihoods to one billion people and nutritious foods for countless more.
As a staple food product, milk is one of the most widely produced and valuable agricultural commodities on the planet, providing us with many essential micro-nutrients including calcium, magnesium, selenium, riboflavin, vitamins B12 and B5. Approximately 150 million households around the globe are engaged in milk production, fueling food security, nutrition and economic development. [Source: FAO, 2023]

Our responsibility to our people, our cows and our environment continues to remain at the forefront of who we are and what we do.
We recognise the contribution and hard work of each and every person at AFMH in support of our commitment to producing the highest quality fresh milk every day.
The quality of our milk is a journey that flows through our commitment to a sustainable future
