Supporting the farmers behind every litre of milk.

Paul Serem has been a member of Sabatia FCS since 1999. Living in Sabatia Settlement Scheme, his journey began with one cow, given to him by his father.

In those early years, milk was paid at about KSh 8 per litre, but payments were often uncertain. Farmers could go months, and sometimes years, without receiving what they were owed.

A turning point came in 2015 with the election of a new board. The cooperative began to change. Milk prices became more consistent, rising from KSh 28 to KSh 56 per litre by October 2026.

The introduction of value addition brought further progress. Members began receiving annual bonuses, with one of Paul's most memorable moments being a KSh 100,000 bonus received in December.

But for Paul, the cooperative's value goes beyond the price of milk. When his father fell ill in 2018/19, he was able to access a farmer advance quickly when his family needed support. The system, linked to the volume of milk a farmer produces, also encourages members to increase their production.
