94 farmer groups in North Gem, Siaya County have received a major boost following the distribution of high quality Friesian, Holstein, and Ayrshire dairy cattle.
According to Siaya County Governor James Orengo, the Ksh 12 million investment is aimed at increasing farmers’ incomes by introducing superior breeds capable of producing 10–20 litres of milk per day with proper care.

“This is not just a short term intervention, but a long term strategy. Through a structured sharing model, the offspring of these cows will be passed on to other members, ensuring that every household in the ward benefits and grows together. The programme will be rolled out across the remaining wards.” Orengo wrote in his Facebook account post.
He added that, at its core, this initiative is about strengthening our livestock value chain, enhancing resilience during challenging seasons, and demonstrating that investing in our farmers is key to growing the entire economy.
