Empowering West Pokot’s Dairy Future: Collaboration, Innovation, and Growth!
This week marked a transformative chapter for West Pokot’s dairy sector as leaders, farmers, and partners united to drive progress. The milestone West Pokot Dairy Farmers Field Day at Kapsait Primary School brought together over 2,000 farmers, the Deputy Governor, County Assembly Speaker, Kenya Dairy Board (KDB) leadership, CEOs, and agencies to share expertise, resources, and strategies for boosting production, quality, and livelihoods.
The momentum began with a warm welcome dinner hosted by Governor Simon Kachapin, who reaffirmed the county’s commitment to partnering with KDB in advancing sustainable dairy practices, modern techniques, and farmer empowerment. This collaboration paved the way for key activities, including the Animal Vaccination Drive led by the Director of Veterinary Services and county officials. By safeguarding livestock health through critical vaccines, the initiative aims to reduce disease outbreaks, enhance milk quality, and secure stable incomes for farmers.
A highlight of the week was the visit to Lelan Dairies, a shining example of West Pokot’s dairy potential. From humble beginnings in 2009, this cooperative now supports 6,000 farmers, collects 25,000 liters daily, and partners with processors like Brookside Dairy and New KCC. With 132,545 dairy cows producing 147.3 million liters annually, the county’s dairy revolution thrives through innovation—pasteurization, milk ATMs, and vibrant collection centers—bridging gaps in nutrition and market access.
Gratitude to all farmers, service providers, agencies, and leaders for fueling this progress. Together, we’re milking West Pokot’s potential through strengthened partnerships, cutting-edge practices, and unwavering dedication to a healthier, more prosperous dairy future!
