As a result of the strong growth of the dairy markets in these countries, the further expansion of the Programme has great social importance. Sybren Attema has agreed to manage the Dairy Development Programme when he steps down on 15 December 2010 as vice chairman of the members’ board of Zuivelcoöperatie FrieslandCampina UA and the supervisory board of Royal FrieslandCampina NV.
In addition to his practical knowledge of dairy farming, his many years of experience at FrieslandCampina and his contacts with public authorities are particularly important. On 1 February 2011, he will join FrieslandCampina and will be based in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
FrieslandCampina’s Dairy Development Programme is part of its corporate social responsibility programme and aims to contribute to the development of local dairy farms and strengthen the rural communities in which dairy farmers work. It’s targeted at the Asian and African markets in which FrieslandCampina operates, such as Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Nigeria.
