The government has given Sh350 million for modernising the New Kenya Creameries Cooperative (KCC) milk processing plant in Kitale. Sigey () said the face-lift will help increase milk intake and enhance value addition. The plant’s intake reaches 500 million litres annually and it makes butter and ghee. Sigey disclosed that the ongoing revamp of KCC plants across the country will increase milk delivery and farmers’ earnings from Sh4.5 billion to Sh6 billion annually. Munya emphasised the need for farmers to enhance production from the current eight litres to 15 litres per cow.
