David Ndii argues that Kenya is not experiencing a milk shortage but rather a surge in demand: — Annual milk production rose 20% between 2022 and 2025 to ~5.6B litres. Says that the increase alone exceeds the annual milk production of 90% of African countries. — Milk intake by processors rose 34% to ~1B litres annually, although formal processing still accounts for only ~20% of production. — Processed milk intake in Jan–Aug 2026 was just 1% below 2025 levels, despite the drought. — Despite rising supply, supermarkets continue experiencing stockouts, which Ndii attributes to stronger consumer demand. — Ndii cites affordable housing construction sites, where contractors provide milk to workers, as one source of growing consumption. — Kenya's annual milk production is worth ~KES 400B at farm-gate prices, while quality dairy heifers fetch KES 300K–350K. — Ndii argues that official statistics may be missing significant economic activity as Kenya's economy undergoes rapid structural changes.
