We would like to congratulate Mr Kokkie Adriaanse (Kachas Farming) who was appointed the Dairy Supplier of the year. This appointment was done during the annual celebration dinner of the Association at Hotel Pension Thule, Windhoek. During the proceedings Mr Marggraff gave information about the strict conditions members have to meet. Mr Des van Jaarsveld spoke about the exellent standard of the milk which is produced by Namibian producers. He also gave some reasons for the current milk shortages, one of which is the change of Chinese diet to Western conditions accompanied by price increases. Mr Eysellein came second and Mr Luck third. We also would like to thank your sponsors for the evening: Namibia Dairies (for sponsoring the first prize), Lubern Voere and Mg2Mx, Komnick & Franck (second and third prize), Semex, Pro Distribution Consultant, Poly Oak, Bank Windhoek Gobabis.
