The impact of COVID-19 on low-emission dairy development in Kenya: Findings from a rapid scoping study

Content Provider	Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR)

Spatial Coverage	Kenya [KE]
Description	• Low-emission dairy development interventions need to support resilience at farm level and across the value chain. • The COVID-19 lockdown in Kenya led to increased prices of hay and concentrates, resulting in increased production costs for farmers. • Promotion and development of on-farm fodder production and conservation is an important strategy for ensuring resilient dairy production. • Stable milk and input prices enhance predictability of returns for farmers, making it possible to plan and invest in more resilient dairy production. • Development and promotion of ICT-based extension systems will reduce costs of extension and enable the provision of critical information to farmers, even during external shocks. • Sustainable linkages between input suppliers and dairy farmers will ensure stable supply of essential input to farms.
