Kwale County Government has distributed 30 hybrid dairy cows and 144 hardy gala goats to small-scale farmers to boost milk production and living standards in the coastal county.
The devolved government in collaboration with the Kenya Marine Fisheries Socio-Economic Development (KEMFSED) project has initiated the dairy cattle stocking program for smallholder dairy farmers.
The KEMFSED project worth Sh.10 billion is implemented by the State Department for Blue Economy and Fisheries with support from the World Bank with the project duration lasting between 2020-2025.
The KEMFSED project is being implemented in four coastal counties of Mombasa, Kwale, Kilifi and Lamu to improve livelihood activities in coastal communities.
