Why most dairy farmers in East Africa lose money (and how to fix it)
The #1 reason small dairy farms struggle isn't low milk prices — it's invisible losses.
Most farmers I've spoken to across East Africa track production in notebooks, if at all. They estimate how much milk went to each customer. They guess at their monthly profit.
The result? Milk goes unaccounted for. Customers owe money nobody tracks. Feed costs pile up without anyone noticing the margins shrinking.
The fix is dead simple: record everything, every day.
That's why I built DairyTrack. It's a straightforward tool that lets you:
Log daily production in seconds
Track every customer and what they owe
See your real profit (not what you think it is)
If you're running a dairy operation — whether 5 cows or 50 — knowing your numbers is the difference between surviving and growing.
