The Kenya Dairy Board (KDB) and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to boost Kenya's dairy sector through innovation and sustainable growth, aiming to double national milk consumption by 2030.

• Kenya's dairy sector contributes about 4.5% to GDP and produces 5.33 billion litres annually, with a per capita consumption of around 92 litres.
• The partnership will leverage ILRI's 50 years of research in animal health, genetics, and feeds, combined with KDB's regulatory and policy framework.
• More than 50% of milk is delivered through informal markets, while the formal sector provides about 20% of milk to consumers, with significant growth projected to meet a demand of over 18 billion litres annually.
