Problem:‍

Smallholder dairy farmers in Kenya face low and unstable returns due to inefficiencies and structural challenges across the value chain, with limited evidence to guide pricing and policy decisions.

‍

Solution/Outcome:‍

We supported the regulator to design and implement a bi-annual monitoring framework using a digital data collection platform, generating evidence to inform a Minimum Guaranteed Pricing model for the dairy sector. The policy intervention contributed to a 24% increase in farmgate returns per litre of milk, with over 4,000 smallholder farmers and 300 stakeholders engaged over the project period.
