Former milk hawker setsup a Sh50m dairy plant

A couple, in Ruiru, is setting up an ultra-modern dairy facility which will be one of a kind in Kenya. The structure, which costs Sh50 million, will include automation and mechanisation of dairy farming. Susan Muturi and Njoroge Muturi, the directors of Tassels Dairy Farm in Ruiru, tell Smart Harvest the structure — an ultra modern dairy facility — will be automated by April next year.

“There is no need to seek hi-tech dairy services abroad because the future is here. The facility is fabricated by locally available materials and will revolutionise the dairy industry in Kenya and Africa. There are huge opportunities in dairy sector in Kenya. Many Kenyans love milk but they know little about keeping cows,” says Susan.
