The Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the government to address a declining milk supply that is already causing price hikes and rationing in some areas.

• Formal-sector milk intake fell by 5% from May to June, with prices at some Nairobi outlets rising from Ksh70 to Ksh80 per litre.
• The federation cited challenges faced by smallholder farmers, including poor pasture due to delayed rains and a 45% increase in commercial feed costs.
• COFEK is demanding a transparent recovery plan, emergency fodder subsidies, clarity on milk surplus and reserves, and a waiver on import duties for key dairy feed inputs.
