The minimum price set by the government on milk purchases from farmers and installation of new cooling plants pushed the formal intake of the commodity by 17.2 percent last year.

Data from Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows the formal sector recorded an intake of 802 million litres of milk in 2021 compared to 684 million litres the year before.
