The New KCC has increased the farm-gate price of milk by Sh5 per litre from Friday, providing a boost to farmers squeezed by rising costs of production. Mr Nixon Sigey, managing director of the state-owned milk processor, said the company will pay Sh50 per litre of milk, up from Sh45.

"We have been buying milk from farmers at Sh45 per litre but after consultations, we have agreed to increase the price to Sh50 per litre starting March 1, 2024," he said in an interview.
