Farmers Applaud Kigoro Dairy for Timely Payments and Strong Support Systems

Farmers affiliated with Kigoro Dairy Cooperative Society have expressed deep appreciation for the cooperative’s commitment to prompt monthly payments, strong governance, and continuous farmer support. For many dairy farmers in Gatanga and the wider Murang’a region, Kigoro Dairy has become a trusted partner in improving livelihoods and strengthening the local dairy value chain.

One of the most praised achievements of Kigoro Dairy is its consistency in paying farmers on time every month. Reliable payments have enabled farmers to plan better, meet household needs, pay school fees, and reinvest in their farms without uncertainty. This financial stability has restored confidence in cooperative farming and encouraged more farmers to deliver quality milk consistently.

Farmers have also acknowledged the critical role played by the County Government of Murang’a through milk subsidy programs. These subsidies have helped cushion farmers against rising production costs, ensuring that dairy farming remains profitable even during challenging economic times. Kigoro Dairy has effectively partnered with the county government to ensure that these benefits reach farmers transparently and efficiently.

Training programs offered through the cooperative have further empowered farmers with modern dairy management skills, including animal health, feed formulation, and milk quality improvement. Access to affordable loans through the cooperative has also enabled farmers to expand their herds, improve housing, and invest in better equipment.

Underlying all these achievements is good governance. Farmers commend Kigoro Dairy’s leadership for transparency, accountability, and open communication. Regular updates, clear records, and farmer representation have built trust and unity within the cooperative.

Through timely payments, government support, capacity building, access to finance, and strong governance, Kigoro Dairy continues to set a positive example of how farmer-owned cooperatives can drive sustainable rural development in Murang’a County.
