Contributing an estimated 4% of the national GDP, 14% of agricultural GDP and 44% of livestock GDP, the dairy industry is well poised to significantly contribute to the Kenyan government’s Big Four Agenda items of food and nutrition security and manufacturing. The dairy industry has been growing at an estimated rate of 5 per cent per annum in the last few years. The dairy industry in Kenya faces a dichotomy of sorts: stagnating and even declining investments at the farm level and a strong surge in processing infrastructure and new plants, as new entrants enter the previously lucrative sector, including cooperatives that were formerly okay with supplying milk to major processors, and which are themselves becoming processors of milk, as the call for value addition in the country reaches a crescendo.
