Farmers contracted by Brookside Dairy have a reason to smile after the processor announced a Sh218 million bonus payout.

The amount will benefit dairy groups and individual farmers across the country who signed up for the quality milk programme and have been supplying raw milk to Brookside for the six months between December 1, 2023 and May 1, this year.
