Milk shortage hits North Rift

By Stanley Kimuge & Brian Ojamaa

Most towns in the North Rift region are facing an acute shortage of raw milk due to drought.
Raw milk in Eldoret is retailing for Sh80 per litre at milk ATMs, up from Sh60 two weeks ago, while farm-gate prices range from Sh60 to 65 per litre.

“Milk production has drastically gone down by 35 per cent. Those who used to supply 50 litres are now delivering 10 to 15 litres daily due to reduced milk production on farms,” said Ruth Cheruto, who runs milk ATMs in Eldoret.

“We also have the problem of most of our dairy cows delaying going into heat. Acaricides also are no longer effective and we appeal to the Ministry of Agriculture to come up with another drug to help us tackle ticks,” she said.

A milk shortage was also reported in Bungoma County, with prices rising.

Webuye, Bungoma, Kimilili, Chwele and Kapsokwony towns have been hit hardest.
Retailers in those towns and other market centres across the county's nine constituencies attributed the shortage to lower supply from dairy farmers across Kenya.
Retail shops and supermarkets in the county are selling a 500ml packet of fresh Brookside milk for Sh80, up from Sh60 a few days earlier.
The Tuzo brand goes for Sh70, up from Sh50 and Ilara Sh60 from Sh45. Long-life brands retail for Sh60, up from Sh48.
Imports from Uganda
Mr Kelvin Wawire, an attendant at Tridev Supermarket in Webuye, linked the fall in production to the extended dry weather.
Mr Wawire also blamed the ban on milk imports from neighbouring Uganda that was imposed in 2019.

Mr Wycliffe Odhiambo, who operates a shop in Bungoma town, said that the Brookside brand, a favourite of many consumers, sells out within a few hours of supply as people buy in bulk, prompting him to ration the number of packets each customer can buy at once.
He said retailers across the county had reported a shortage of supply, with the stocks available selling at higher prices.

If you want to gauge the state of the country study this situation.

Everyone is complaining and no one is offering a solution, or even trying to look understand what the problem is and implement preventative measures.

Where are the representatives MCAs, MPs etc you spent all your energy campaigning for and woke up very early to vote for and pay very handsomely with your taxes in addition to their loot? No one has formed a commission to look into the matter and pinpoint the error. Their cars are fully fueled as they criss-cross the country on campaign mode offering more false promises.

You are the one left meekly queueing for fuel everyday and gimmicks like dancing for fuel trucks.

Who else is to blame but you?
