Value chain analysis and sanitary risks of the camel milk system supplying Nairobi city, Kenya
The aim of this study was to characterise the camel milk system and assess its governance, challenges and the food safety risk practices
Abstract
The camel milk trade in Kenya has evolved significantly from a small-scale business undertaken in local villages to its current status involving a large number of different stakeholders supplying urban towns, particularly Nairobi City. Despite the evident growth pattern, the supply of camel milk to Nairobi has largely remained informal, with minimal enforcement of regulations. The aim of this study was to characterise the camel milk system supplying Nairobi and assess its governance, main challenges and the potential food safety risk practices.
