Milk Collection 2.0

Milk collection,
a challenge for Africa

Milk aggregation from small-scale farmers is vital for Sub-Saharan Africa's self-sufficiency, particularly in countries like Kenya, Tanzania, Senegal, Zimbabwe or Nigeria, which are currently facing significant milk shortages.

Milk collection is a critical part of the agricultural economy in Africa overall. supporting both livelihoods and local communities.

Small-scale farmers typically have to walk miles to deliver the milk to local collection centers or cooperatives and have limited time to do so before it spoils.

Existing collection from brokers while providing access is not transparent, does not benefit the whole community and is not scalable.
