| Updated Wed, February 15th 2017 at 00:00 GMT +3Prolonged drought has sparked a heightened market competition for milk in the North Rift. LELBREN collects and bulks milk from farmers before supplying it to established milk processors so as to enjoy economies of scale. "Due to the persistent drought, milk supplies have dropped to an average of 4,800 kgs daily over the last three months. The reduction is due to the current drought situation that has affected livestock feed," said Dr Sanga. The processor uses the cooling stations to feed the bulking stations in the ara before transportation to Ruiru for processing.
