Our Story

From humble beginnings to becoming Ethiopia's premier dairy brand

Who We Are

Holland Dairy is a leading provider of high-quality dairy products in the entire country of Ethiopia. We're most famous for our yoghurt and milk, but our identity goes much deeper. Our milk is sourced locally, and only the best gets selected to ensure high-quality raw milk inputs. We strive to build a thriving Ethiopian agricultural sector and most of our main suppliers are smallholder farms.

Our team is passionate about the people of Ethiopia and cares immensely about their well-being. We seek to alleviate some of the food insecurity in the country by growing the Ethiopian dairy sector. This industry is of vital importance to rural and urban economic development.

At Holland Dairy, we're seeking to help modernize this valuable sector to help increase the living standards of those involved in the work while increasing the health of all who benefit from locally sourced and high-quality dairy products. By using small farms, we're ensuring funds remain within the community to create quicker growth and development. We've been able to boost the living standards of our community and make consumers happy. That's success to us!
