Dairy Research Institute: Annual Report Highlights

Abstract

Dairy Research Institute (DRI) conducts basic, applied and adaptive research with the objective of developing technologies, innovations and management practices (TIMPs) to enhance dairy productivity, improve quality of life, equity and wealth creation. This is in line with the Kenya Vision 2030 which envisages an agricultural sector that is “innovative, commercially oriented and modern”. The institute activities are streamlined to the Bottom-up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) of the National Government and in line with the KALRO Strategic Plan. The institute creates linkages with local and international organizations in capacity building and demand-oriented research. The goal is to contribute to the growth of the dairy sub-sector through research, technology transfer and utilization of appropriate and sustainable dairy innovations.
