Board defends draft milk laws as farmers cry foul


By STANLEY KIMUGEMore by this AuthorA section of dairy farmers have opposed the proposed milk regulations that are aimed at streamlining the sector. The laws prohibit farmers selling raw milk even to their neighbours before they pasteurise. Why are processors allowed to import milk instead of boosting local farmers’ capacity?" Dairy farmers across the country have protested the influx of cheap milk from neighbouring countries like Uganda, which has led to decline in prices. Kipchumba said farmers should be allowed to sell milk to regulated dairies or through dispensers in the market.
