a case study of Kitinda and Kaptama dairy farmers cooperative society in Bungoma County - KenyaSamenvatting
Milk and milk products are responsible for around 21% of worldwide food losses, with annual after harvest milk losses ranging from 10% to 23%. Losses in production, post-harvest, and distribution are more typical in economically underdeveloped countries like Kenya. FORQLAB is a Kenyan Programme aimed at reducing post-harvest losses and improving food quality along the avocado and dairy value chains. Bungoma County in Kenya is experiencing milk handling difficulties, resulting in massive rejections and spillages. The goal of this study was to identify milk loss hotspots in Bungoma that have major economic and carbon footprint implications along the Kitinda and Kaptama smallholder dairy value chains. This research has been carried out as part of Food Waste Reduction and Food Quality Living LAB FORQLAB – Kenya Project
