Building a 500-Cow
Dairy Herd by 2028
Completing our new dairy farm is only the beginning. Once construction is complete, we will relocate our existing herd of 50 dairy cows to the new facility and begin the next phase of our mission—expanding to a herd of 500 high-producing dairy cows by the beginning of 2028.
Herd Target Milestone
Vetted & acclimated to local Kandahar feeding conditions.
Target volume needed to reach commercial capacity.
Projected capacity by early 2028 to satisfy demand.
Why Herd Expansion Matters
The new farm will provide the land, barns, infrastructure, and equipment needed to support a much larger operation. However, buildings alone do not produce milk.
Our greatest investment after construction will be acquiring high-quality pregnant dairy cows that can begin producing milk shortly after arriving at the farm while also growing the next generation of our herd.
Strategic Objectives
- Increase fresh milk production for local communities
- Create dozens of additional full-time jobs
- Strengthen Afghanistan's domestic dairy industry
- Reduce reliance on imported dairy products
- Improve breeding programs for future herd growth
- Build a financially sustainable agricultural business capable of supporting future expansion
Our Herd Expansion Plan
Our strategy focuses on acquiring more than 300 pregnant dairy cows. This approach allows the farm to increase milk production quickly while naturally expanding the herd through future calf births.
Our active pilot herd, fully acclimated to local conditions, serving as the operational and genetics baseline.
The required volume to scale operations from pilot to full commercial farm capacity.
Investing in pregnant dairy cows to instantly trigger lactation and natural breeding cycles.
Achieving full capacity by early 2028 to become Kandahar's leading dairy supplier.
Funding Goal: $1.2 Million USD
This funding will allow Arghandab Dairy Farm to purchase approximately 300 pregnant dairy cows, representing the largest investment following the completion of our new dairy farm.
Ways to Support the Expansion
Whether you are an individual supporter, a business, a charitable foundation, or an impact investor, there are many ways to help bring this vision to life.
Invest in One Dairy Cow
Help fund the purchase of one pregnant dairy cow that will begin producing milk while contributing to the future growth of the herd.
Invest in Five Cows
Provide a meaningful increase in milk production while supporting the expansion of the farm's breeding program.
Invest in Ten Cows
Accelerate herd growth and help create additional skilled employment opportunities on the farm.
The Impact of This Investment
A herd of 500 dairy cows will significantly increase our ability to provide fresh, locally produced dairy products while creating lasting economic opportunities for families throughout the region.
Every Cow Brings Us Closer
Our vision extends far beyond building a dairy farm. We are building a model for modern agriculture, sustainable food production, and rural economic development in Afghanistan. By supporting the expansion of our herd, you are investing in a project designed to create lasting impact.
