Farm inputs are very expensive which has minimised mechanisation of dairy farming in the country
Poor roads which become muddy and impassable during the rainy season leading to delays in delivery of cattle
Long and abrupt droughts that lower milk production leading to temporary milk shortage.
Dairy cattle are affected by cattle diseases especially in the Kenyan highlands
Poor management of dairy cooperatives leading to delayed payment to farmers which in turn kills their morale.
OR
State problems that have hindered the dairy activities in the Kenya highland
- Disease such as rinderpest may lead to death of animal
- Inadequate pasture during the dry season..
- Failure to collect milk due to glut in production.
- Delayed payments which discourage the farmers.
- Poor roads which are inaccessible during rainy season.
