@KorirIssa @farmlinkkenya Yes they do. Farmers discuss their problems and how they solved them. The best information is from those who practice and not those who know theory.

@KenyaFarmReport @KenyaDairyBoard @farmlinkkenya One should apply a licence to the KDB first. Then get a a standardization mark from KEBS for the products one is proceesing.
IT is important to be trained in processing yoghurt. And the more one processed the better you become.
Must know GMP.

@farmlinkkenya @p_mwas @kaburi_michael @jumaf3 @WivTrizah @ralounchepac Most farmers want to start from the top. One understands the business more from the bottom.
There is cottage industry first. You equipment for line processing is very expensive, so be innovative and start..

After fermentation you willsee a hard cud cool it & break it by stirring. Add fruits to flavor e.g. banana, mangoes, passions. But to be taken there and then and not be packed..

[Rhinopark Dairy Resource Centre @RhinoparkDRC]

@farmlinkkenya Yes by use of another yoghurt From a processor as mother culture. First boil e.g. 5L milk and add 200gm or a glass of sugar. . Cool to 45 degrees and add 1 tablespoon of the yoghurt. Stir and incubate for 4 -6 hrs using a fireless buscketto retain the heat.
