Mumberes Dairy Cooperative Society celebrated a major milestone on 7th November 2025 with the grand opening of its modern roadside stop-over shop and the launch of its new mango-flavoured yoghurt. The colourful event brought together farmers, partners, and stakeholders, and was graced by the President of the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI),Dr. Erick Rutto.
This milestone marked more than the unveiling of a new product and new infrastructure. It showcased the cooperative’s continued journey of transformation, innovation, and unwavering commitment to quality.
Strengthening Quality Through a Proven Model
Over the years, Mumberes Dairy has built a strong reputation as a pioneer in high-quality milk production and quality-based milk pricing, a system championed by Agriterra. Through this model, farmers are rewarded for delivering clean, premium-quality milk, leading to greater consistency, trust, and improved incomes.
Agriterra’s ongoing advisory support has played a key role in shaping the cooperative’s growth. This includes strengthening governance, developing robust quality systems, and investing in farmer-focused services. Mumberes has also invested in fodder systems that help farmers produce nutritious feed, co-financed silage choppers to boost on-farm productivity, and enhanced its extension services to promote sustainable dairy practices.
Testing milk quality at the collection points has now become standard practice, reinforcing transparency and the cooperative’s dedication to ensuring farmers are compensated fairly.
A Strategic Investment in Visibility and Customer Convenience
The newly launched stop-over shop is more than an outlet. It is a strategic investment in brand visibility and customer experience. Equipped with modern restroom facilities, the shop provides convenience to travelers and positions Mumberes Dairy as a key stop along the busy Nairobi–Eldoret highway in Equator Town.
This prime location places the cooperative’s products within easy reach of both travelers and the local community, boosting sales potential and strengthening brand recognition across the region.
Innovation on the Shelf: The New Mango-Flavoured Yoghurt
The introduction of the mango-flavoured yoghurt signals Mumberes Dairy’s responsiveness to evolving consumer preferences. Fresh, vibrant, and locally inspired, the product adds diversity to the cooperative’s expanding portfolio while demonstrating readiness to compete in a dynamic dairy market.

A New Chapter for Farmers and the Cooperative
The launch of the outlet and new yoghurt is a clear sign of a cooperative stepping confidently into its next phase of growth. With strengthened systems, a motivated farmer base, and an expanding product range, Mumberes Dairy continues to position itself as a model cooperative proving what is possible when farmers are empowered with knowledge, strong governance, and market-driven innovation.
