Drought has cut milk production in the country by 50 per cent in the last two months even as processors increase their payment rates to farmers.
According to New KCC managing director Nixon Sigey, the dairy sector has been hit hard by drought that resulted in a 40 per cent drop in milk supply to the State-owned plant.
