Every year, South Africa's Rediscover Dairy joins the global celebration of World Milk Day. On 1 June, consumers from thousands of cultures unite in recognising the role of dairy in our daily diets, and its impact on our health and wellness.

In 2026, the World Milk Day theme, Celebrating women in dairy , puts the spotlight on the women working behind the scenes to help put dairy on our kitchen tables every day.
