Irish Embassy in Kenya

Mr. Phil Hogan visited Tulaga Farmers’ Cooperative Society, witnessing firsthand how 3,500 members are benefiting from the power of collective action. Through the cooperative, farmers are gaining access to knowledge, markets, and value addition through their milk processing facility, creating greater opportunities to improve incomes and strengthen livelihoods. Tulaga is a powerful example of what can be achieved when farmers, research, markets, and innovation come together.

Mr. Phil Hogan visited and interacted with farmers who received training through the Kenya-Ireland Dairy Partnership, seeing first-hand how research and knowledge are being translated into practical solutions that make a difference at farm level. Through improved forage production, climate-smart practices, and effective record-keeping, farmers are gaining the skills and knowledge needed to increase productivity, improve resilience, and build more sustainable dairy enterprises.

We were pleased to welcome Mr. Phil Hogan to Kenya. Together with the Embassy team, he visited the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) Dairy Research Institute, where he had the opportunity to see impactful work being done to strengthen Kenya’s dairy sector.

Through collaboration between Teagasc, KALRO and partners, innovation in forage development and dairy genetics is helping to build more productive, resilient, and sustainable dairy systems that are supporting smallholder farmers and strengthening livelihoods.

Last week, alongside our partner TradeMark Africa, we joined the E4impact team to visit some of the 30 SMEs in Uasin Gishu County participating in the Accelerating Women in Agro-Food for Resilience and Empowerment (AWARE) program.

This visit reaffirmed our belief that to truly enjoy the benefits of economic growth, gains must be distributed across society to create opportunities for all and especially focus on the people and communities who are the furthest behind.

By building the capacity of SMEs to reach more customers, access new markets, and secure funding, we unlock immense value—not just for the businesses themselves, but for the entire agricultural value chain. The forward and backward linkages created are truly impactful, driving resilience and growth across the ecosystem.

This project contributes to Ireland’s commitment to supporting inclusive trade and economic growth in Kenya.

We wish you every success!
