It is a great reprieve for the people of Uasin Gishu as the dairy industry in Uasin Gishu continues to evolve, a new wave of reliable agricultural partnerships is taking root. Leading this shift is Dipkebs Dairies, an emerging hub for dairy farmers located in the Kapreng area, near the Kaplemur Shopping Centre on the route toward Turbo.
In an industry often plagued by collection delays and payment uncertainties, Dipkebs Dairies is gaining significant traction by prioritizing transparency and consistency. Local farmers are increasingly transitioning to the facility, citing a professional approach that addresses the core challenges of modern dairy farming.
The cornerstone of the dairy’s success lies in its dependable collection schedule. By ensuring milk is picked up both morning and evening, the facility helps farmers minimize post-harvest losses—a critical factor for small-scale and commercial producers alike.
Furthermore, the dairy has streamlined its financial operations to offer a level of flexibility rarely seen in the region. Farmers can customize their compensation schedules, choosing between:
Weekly settlements for immediate cash flow.
Bi-weekly payments.
Monthly disbursements for long-term planning.
Transactions are processed through secure channels, including M-PESA, direct bank transfers, and cash, ensuring that farmers receive their earnings promptly and safely.
Dipkebs Dairies is positioning itself as more than just a collection point; it is functioning as a comprehensive farm support center. Recognizing that high yields start long before the milking shed, the organization provides essential auxiliary services, including:
High-quality animal feeds to boost productivity.Veterinary services to ensure herd health.
Technical farm support and professional guidance for emerging farmers.
The “Tukikua Pamoja” (Growing Together) philosophy appears to be resonating. By eliminating the typical “middleman” stress and focusing on a friendly, supportive team environment, the dairy is building a loyal network of producers who value fair and transparent handling.
For dairy farmers in the greater Eldoret and Turbo areas looking for a stable market, the facility at Kapreng represents a modern solution to age-old logistics problems. As the sector grows, such partnerships are proving vital in ensuring that the backbone of the region—the farmer—is well-supported and fairly compensated.
