Dairy
Value Chain Study and Market Mapping Study for the Kenya Market - Led Dairy
Value Chain Supply Project
1.0
Background: The Kenya Market-Led Dairy Value
Chain Supply project is a four-year project, funded by the Swedish
International Development Agency (SIDA).
The
project targets to reach 30,000 smallholder farmers in 6 counties namely; Uasin
Gishu, Nandi, Trans Nzoia and Elgeyo Marakwet counties in the North Rift Region
of Kenya and Embu and Tharaka Nithi counties in Eastern Kenya.
The project’s overall goal is to ‘improve the livelihoods
of 30,000 small holder dairy farmers and their families, through increased
dairy productivity, increased incomes and increased participation of women and
youth in the dairy value chain”. Other beneficiaries include dairy value chain
service providers and local governments.
This
Project is developed and based on the need for the Kenyan dairy industry
partner (NKCC) to collect more locally produced milk and to improve the quality
of collected milk to satisfy the Kenyan market’s need for high quality processed
and packaged dairy products.
This
project has been developed jointly by the project partners Heifer Project
International (Heifer), New KCC (NKCC), Tetra Laval Food for Development Office
(FfDO) and Tetra Pak Kenya (Tetra Pak). Heifer will be the implementing partner
in this project and will coordinate all activities.
The
background to this market-led dairy supply chain project is the need to utilize
the great potential of small holder milk production in Kenya to meet the
growing demand for milk and dairy products by the dairy industry and
consumers.
The
project will focus on 30,000 smallholder farmers, 20,000 in the Rift Valley
(Nandi, Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet & Trans-Nzoia counties) and 10,000 in
Embu and Tharaka Nithi counties in Eastern Kenya to improve smallholder
farmers’ linkages to a market-led dairy value chain.
The
Project will work primarily through dairy Producer Organizations (POs) or dairy
societies (23 in North Rift Region and 5 in Eastern Region) in the above areas
to reach the main beneficiaries who are the farmer members of these
organizations.
The
POs operate as dairy cooperatives engaged in milk production, collection,
bulking, chilling and selling, and in some cases processing milk into yoghurt
and other dairy products.
The
Project will work to build strong POs by strengthening governance, leadership
and business structures as well as developing social capital, savings groups
and promoting gender equality.
This
approach will ensure farmers’ resilience and sustainability far beyond the
Project intervention period.
