THE Ministry of Agriculture hopes to make its first collection of fresh milk destined for export at the end of the month.
This is after a dairy chilling centre in Ba was opened earlier this year and the registration of dairy farmers who will supply milk for export.
Deputy permanent secretary for agriculture Uraia Waibuta said officials at the ministry were working with dairy farmers in Ba for the first collection.
"We've done the registration process of farmers and our officials are still in the process of training them in basic farming practices and all the processes involved in running a dairy farm," Mr Waibuta said.
"We've set out specific targets for them to meet and hopefully we can make our first collection by the end of the month."
