President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has emphasised the need for the country to shift focus from liquid milk to processed products like casein and powdered milk for the international market.

The president was having a meeting with dairy farmers from Kazo and Kiruhura districts at Karo Primary School in Nshwere in Kiruhura district on January, 2nd. President Museveni said that as a country, there is a need to shift focus from liquid milk to processed products like casein and powdered milk for the international market since these products have great potential for longevity and better prices.

He assured them that liquid milk is heavy and very costly for exportation, but if processed it into powdered milk, it becomes light and less expensive.
