The Zimbabwe Association of Dairy Farmers (ZADF) was born in 2013 – true but suggesting it is a very young organization so we need this to be captured as rebranded to ZADF from NADF but getting the correct terms. NADF was over 30 years.
Established over 30 years ago as the National Association of Dairy Farmers (NADF), the Association grew in leaps and bounds and was re-branded in 2013 to Zimbabwe Association of Dairy Farmers (ZADF).
