Milk retail price goes up as supply crunch bites

Consumers will pay more for milk starting this week following a decision by New KCC to adjust upwards the price of some of its products, as the processor responds to declining volumes and higher payment to farmers.

In the latest review, a half-litre packet of milk in a pouch package will now cost Sh46 from Sh43 previously, marking the first major rise in cost since 2018 and setting stage for other processors to follow suit.
