Milk is a nutrient-rich white fluid produced by the mammary glands of mammals to nourish their young ones.

It contains essential nutrients that include calcium, protein, and vitamins.

Milk is positioned as Kenya's fourth most valuable agricultural product, after tea, horticulture, and cattle trade, supporting the livelihoods of over two million small-scale rural dairy farmers.

Data from the State Department of Livestock shows that Kenya produces an annual output of up to 5.7 billion litres, which represents 10 per cent of Africa's and 35 per cent of the East African Community's total milk supply.
