President William Ruto announced that the government plans to import improved camel and buffalo breeds to broaden Kenya’s milk sources. This move comes as formal milk deliveries to processors have declined since June 2026. The government directed Agriculture Principal Secretary Jonathan Mueke to oversee the procurement of these new animal breeds.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The strategy aims to address tightening supply, which has caused urban fresh-milk prices to rise. Camel milk is noted for its high market price, estimated at Ksh190 to Ksh200 per litre. The government highlighted India’s commercial buffalo dairy sector as a potential model for Kenyan dairy farming.
