Farmers contracted by milk processor Brookside Dairy have been paid Sh218 million in the half-year to May, under a scheme that rewards producers for milk quality and surpassing supply targets.
The latest payout, which represents a 53.5 percent jump over the previous year’s, will benefit dairy groups and individual farmers across the country who signed up for the programme and have been supplying raw milk to Brookside during the six months between December 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024.
