“We have ventured into dairy processing at a crucial time where there is scarcity of milk, increased milk prices and unreliability and health concerns on dairy output. This is a very exciting project in partnership with local farmers that will allow us to provide quality dairy products not only in Kenya but East and Central Africa within the next five years”
Mr. Nelson J. Bichanga, chairman of HIGHLAND CREAMERS & FOOD LTD.
“This is the only milk processing factory located in this region and we envisage that it will go a long way to help local farmers market there milk formally. Currently most farmers in the region are involved in informal milk marketing (hawking) which is illegal and also provides unsafe milk to consumers. Now that the factory is established and functional we encourage local farmers to form dairy co-operative societies and milk bulking groups so that they can channel their produce in the formal market and embrace a saving culture through the factory.”
Mr. Akungu, Branch Manager of THE KENYA DAIRY BOARD – KISII OFFICE.
