Githunguri, Kenya

Githunguri Dairy Farmers Co-operative Society Ltd is a farmers organization with its offices in Githunguri town, Kiambu district. Our mission is to assist the members to produce and market high quality dairy products by providing them with efficient, quality and economic services. The turn around in the society¹s fortunes has culminated in the successful launch of packaged milk into the market last year (July 2004). The society now receives more than 80,000 litres per day from the members up from 25,000lts in 1999. Consequently, the society helps the farmers in collecting, processing and marketing the milk and other dairy products under the flagship of Fresha.

The society has invested heavily in technology in a bid to improve services to members while giving consumers value for their money. It is for this reason that the society was awarded this year¹s Investor of the year COYA award under the SME¹s category. Among the products we process and package includes:- Fresha Whole Milk, Fresha Super Fine Ghee, Fresha Yoghurts, Fresha Butter, Fresha Cream.These products have already found their way into many households and institutions including up-market hotels, restaurants and bakeries.
