Dairy farmers across the country have reacted angrily to draft industry regulations, which they say are favourable to big corporates, while disenfranchising small farmers.

In Central, small-scale farmers said the regulations were calculated at locking out hawkers who help in pricing, while in North Rift, farmers called for a thorough public participation before ink is put to paper.
