We are scaling up livestock production under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda, driving modernisation, value addition, and rural industrial growth. These efforts have boosted livestock production and exports by 45% in the past three years. Dairy farming remains a critical value chain, with Kenya among Africa’s leading producers at 5.3 billion litres annually. Yet, we process less than 30% of this output, presenting a major investment opportunity as we target 10 billion litres a year, with 1 billion litres for export. Toured Baladna Food Industries, Al Khor, Qatar, hosted by group Chairman Moataz Al Khayyat and CEO Ramez Al Khayyat. The facility houses 24,000 Holstein cows and processes 800,000 litres of milk daily. Baladna has achieved full dairy self-sufficiency through an integrated “grass-to-glass” model, linking feed production, dairy farming, processing, packaging, and distribution. Their experience offers valuable lessons for Kenya’s dairy ambitions. We will continue building strategic partnerships to commercialise the livestock sector, expand processing capacity, and unlock the full dairy value chain to grow our economy and increase farmer incomes.(William Samoei Ruto, PhD)
