Uganda has been understudying kenyan - esp the western part - mbarara and the likes - and now produces I think 3B litres against Kenya's 5B liters. I don't think it's milk powder. If it was - most of the milk would be produced around Kampala - but they come from Mbarara and Gulu (North Uganda) - mostly.

It seems the glut is real but not from kenyan farmers. Uganda cheap powder milk and raw milk is flooding the market https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/article/2001316318/dairy-farmers-protest-drop-in-milk-prices .  However the question is all those processors importing milk from uganda and lowering farm gate prices, how come they aren't lowering price of milk? https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/markets/marketnews/Probe-in-the-pipeline-as-milk-prices-stay-high/3815534-5022112-10cg8j8z/index.html

Where did you get the 3 billion of liters. Kenya produces about 1.2 billion

70-80% of the milk is unprocessed. 1.2B is maybe processed milk.
