The volume of milk purchased by processors from farmers hit a historic high of 908.4 million litres in 2024, buoyed chiefly by improved weather that boosted production.

The Kenya Dairy Board (KDB) data shows a 12.04 percent year-on-year growth from the 810.8 million litres purchased in 2023, with last year’s quantity marking the highest in a single year since 2001 when the agency started recording the data.
