To improve the dairy sector, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperatives has revamped Nyambene New KCC milk cooling plant, whose construction was launched by the President on 2nd February 2020.
Today, Agriculture CS Hon Peter Munya inspected the Ksh 250 million facility, which has a holding capacity of 100,000 litres.
The plant will serve dairy farmers from five of the nine sub-counties in Meru County that include Tigania East, Tigania West, Tigania Central, Igembe North and Igembe South.
This plant will also create jobs for the youth in this area.
In addition CS Munya handed over 1000 straws of semen to dairy farmers and Kitchen garden starter-kits to schools and farmers’ groups to achieve 100% Food and Nutrition security.
