(Photo: File/Standard)Dairy farmers are worried as the prices of processed milk more than doubled in most outlets across the country, yet they are not reaping the windfall. “The drought affected milk production and I have reduced the amount of milk I am taking to the market. However, I don’t understand why the prices have increased yet I am still selling my milk at Sh30,” he said. Mwaniki is not alone, Endarasha dairy farmer Benjamin Wangai said he was selling his milk at Sh31 a litre. He explained that he hoped his local cooperative would consider increasing the rates at which they buy fresh milk from the farmers.
