A milk processing company has secured new markets for its products in the east and central African countries.
Brookside Dairy said it had managed to get customers in Tanzania, Uganda, Burundi and Congo.
The company's milk procurement and extension services manager, Mr Emmanuel Kabaki, said talks were at advanced stage to start exporting Brookside products to Botswana.
"We have secured enough markets and are still negotiating with some other countries. However, we may be unable to meet the demand due to low production of milk and, therefore, appeal to dairy farmers to raise production," he said.
He spoke during a dairy farmer's field day at Gakurwe trading centre in Murang'a North District.

To improve production, Brookside has started training farmers on modern ways of animal breeding.
"We have trained 12,000 dairy farmers this year in various parts of the country and we will visit all areas," said Mr Kabaki.
Farmers complained of increased cost of animal feeds saying that they were no longer making good profits.
