What makes Israel’s dairy farming world-class

Farmers who visited israel last week sample technology and farming techniques.
 

KENYA: It is exactly 4.30pm local time on an extremely sunny Saturday afternoon in Tel Aviv, Israel when we land. The heat is unbearable. The city appears deserted save for a few people driving or riding motorbikes.

A group of close to 120 Kenyans — dairy farmers and a battery of journalists — are in Israel to sample the country’s top-edge dairy farming technology, a trip sponsored by New KCC. As we traverse a number of small towns and centres, the desert climate in Israel is evident. After a relaxed night, our morning programme starts on high gear.
