growing and under-served middle-class in the EAC
•
In the past 10 years, the total production has increased (189,827 MT in 2007 to 706,030 MT in 2014)
•
The demand for dairy products consumption has outstripped the local production.
•
The average import is 1898 tons of dairy products per year while the average export is 4.8MT per year.

Demand in urban and suburban markets for good quality fresh milk is unsatisfied with vendors normally
running out of supply by the middle of a business day and vendors earn over 100% return annually.

fermented milk and yoghurt from Rwanda which could be produced, packaged and delivered cold at
lower cost by a modern facility than the artisanal products.
