Bles Dairies East Africa

Bles Dairies has been active in consultancy activities in East Africa for several years, in the past under the name The Friesian. To service customers in East Africa from short distance and in every aspect of the dairy value chain, we established in 2016 Bles Dairies East Africa Ltd.

High demand for milk and dairy products
Africa’s growing (youth) population and demographic developments lead to a high demand for milk and dairy products. The (East) African dairy sector does have a large potential, but at the moment its insufficient capacity causes a huge gap between supply and demand.

It is acknowledged that dairy is a strategic factor in the movement of populations out of poverty. The development of the dairy sector will fight malnutrition and increases incomes of the smallholder farmers. However the possibility to achieve results exists, challenges in the dairy sector still remain. To face these, and to keep up with the quick developments in the fast emerging East African dairy market, we established a local presence in Kenya.

Headquartered out of Eldoret, Kenya, we provide services across the entire dairy value chain. To serve our clients in a better way Bles Dairies East Africa ltd. has partnered with Nundoroto Contractors, forming a total solution: ‘Seed to Feed’ & ‘Feed to Farmgate’
