Consumers are staring at high cost of milk after processors adjusted their prices in response to the tightening supply in the market.

In the latest review, a half litre packet of the popular Gold Crown New KCC brand has gone up to retail at Sh52 from Sh50 previously with the same quantity for Brookside selling at Sh55, marking the first major rise in cost since 2018.
