The reward scheme was pioneered to appreciate the critical role raw milk suppliers play in the upstream phase of the dairy value chain.
The payout has been rising over the years, as the processor’s base of contracted farmers continues to expand.
Milk processor, Brookside Dairy has paid a total of Sh323 million in annual bonuses to dairy farmers countrywide.
Producers contracted to the processor got an early festive gift on Friday when Brookside released Sh185 million in bonuses for milk delivered between June and November this year. Mid-2023, the processor, which partners with 160,000 farmers, released Sh138 million in bonuses.
