Kigoro Dairy Strengthens Capacity Through KJET Training and Sets Bold Growth Plans

Kigoro Dairy Farmers Cooperative Society recently hosted a transformative training under the Kenya Jobs and Economic Transformation (KJET) Program — a World Bank-supported initiative implemented by the Government of Kenya through the Ministry of Cooperatives and MSMEs (MSEA).

The training focused on strengthening cooperative governance, financial management, compliance, and long-term sustainability. Board members, management, and staff gained practical knowledge on transparency, accountability, risk management, and modern business practices. These foundational lessons are positioning Kigoro Dairy for stronger growth and improved service delivery to its members.

For Kigoro Dairy Farmers Cooperative Society, the future of farming is both green and gold.

Leveraging the insights from the KJET training, the cooperative is now embarking on a bold expansion strategy. Plans are underway to scale up production of our signature yoghurts while venturing into the craft of cheesemaking. This move aims to increase value addition, expand market opportunities, and boost revenue streams for the cooperative.

However, this journey is not just about launching new products. It is about building a smarter and more sustainable business model. Kigoro Dairy is actively working toward completing the solarization of its factory. By transitioning to solar energy, the cooperative will significantly reduce operational costs while protecting the environment — a true commitment to green growth.

The ultimate goal is clear: higher profitability that directly translates into better milk prices and improved income for local farmers. A stronger cooperative means financial stability, resilience, and a self-sustaining future for every member of the society.

With support from the Government of Kenya and development partners, Kigoro Dairy continues to demonstrate that empowered cooperatives can drive rural transformation.
