Kenya: Overview of the Kenya Dairy Industry
Link to report:
Kenya's dairy sector is one of the most advanced in East Africa, and the second largest in Africa in terms of herd size. The industry remains an important part of the Kenyan agricultural economy, contributing 17 percent to agricultural GDP and 3.8 percent of the total national GDP. The sector is still largely informal, with only 15 percent of total milk processed in 2023. Milk production has remained mostly steady over the last decade, though demand is growing. National level productivity is relatively low, as feed costs remain high and feed quality is notably low.
