Dairy farming in Kenya is no longer just a rural tradition, but a big business. Today, nearly 80% of the dairy industry is driven by smallholder farmers, making it not only a critical contributor to the economy but also a lifeline for millions of households.

“The dairy sector touches everything: food security, job creation, and income generation. But for Kenya to truly thrive, we must focus not just on more milk, but on better milk,” says Unga Farm Care (EA) Ltd, a leader in livestock nutrition and care.
