Price of half a litre of milk hits Sh. 65

The price of half a litre of milk has hit Sh. 65, a record high.

This is a sharp rise from the Sh. 45 that the 500ml packet of milk was selling at in January. The sharp rise has been occasioned by the continuing drought that has seen the volumes of milk drop by over 50 per cent in the past three months.

The price of a half litre packet of Ilara is currently retailing at Sh65, Tuzo Fresh Sh62 and Molo fresh Sh60 with KCC fresh selling at Sh55 at major retail outlets.

Food prices have been on the rise since last year pushing inflation outside the government’s preferred ceiling of 7.5 per cent. In April for instance, inflation increased from 10.28 per cent in March to 11.48 per cent
