Ndumberi Truck

Purchased by USADF

Challenge

Ndumberi goal is to improve the living standards of 5,000 dairy farmers in Kiambu County by ensuring they have a ready market for their milk. On average, the farmers supply 14,000 litres of milk per day. The challenge is that the pasteurizer Ndumberi owns could only pasteurize 50% of the milk they receive from farmers and the rest was sold raw to other milk processors. Raw milk is usually sold at lower prices compared to pasteurized milk thus loosing revenues. Ndumberi also had a freezer that could only hold 500 litres of Yoghurt so this limited the capacity of yoghurt they could process from milk despite yoghurt fetching better prices.

Action
Ndumberi got a grant from USADF that enabled them build and equip a cold room for keeping yoghurt fresh processed because the demand was high. They also bought a pasteurizer which increased their capacity to pasteurize raw milk. They bought a truck to enable them access new markets.
Results
Ndumberi now has the capacity to pasteurize all 14,000 litres of the milk they receive from farmers and no longer sell raw milk. From the pasteurised milk, 3000 litres is processed into yoghurt which has even better prices. Ndumberi initially bought raw milk from farmers at KES. 30 per litre and sold half of it raw to other milk processors at KES. 37 per litre. They are now pasteurising all the milk and selling at KES. KES. 55 per litre and Yoghurt at KES. 135 per litre. Tarakwo is actively involved in marketing their processed milk products. Initially their market was in central Kenya only but now they have new markets in Nairobi and western Kenya. Ndumberi has increased the price at which they buy milk from farmers from KES. 30 per litre to KES. 39 per. This has motivated farmer to increase milk supply to Ndumberi from an average of 14,000 litters per day to 16,000 litres per day with some planning to buy more dairy cows so as to improve their daily production. Because of increased revenues Ndumberi has the capacity to buy raw milk from other milk processors whenever they have a shortage due to increased demand.
