Abdi Bulle, Vice Chairperson of the Garissa Butcheries Savings and Credit Cooperative Society, during the Nation Media Group Kenya Meat Expo at KICC on August 8, 2025.
In 2021, camel farmers in Garissa met and thought of pooling resources to add value to their products. Besides camel milk and meat, they started extracting oil from camel bones. Their target market? Skincare and health-conscious users.
The farmers went on to establish the Garissa Butchers Saving and Cooperative Society, aiming to aggregate the number of camels slaughtered and tap into emerging health-conscious markets.
