The Government of County has signed two projects to encourage locals to embark on commercial dairy production.
Governor Wycliffe Oparanya last week accepted the Kakamega Dairy Development Corporation (KDDC) bill and the County Trade and Markets Bill.
The KDDC law aims to establish legal support for the dairy value chain and give way to the creation of a company to coordinate activities in the sector.
"We can not hope to progress if we allow excessive dependence on sugar cane cultivation," Oparanya said.
The dairy will create an easy market for milk, promote research, implement and manage the One Cow initiative.
The county set up 12 economic dairy farm units in 11 polytechnic county schools and Bukura Agricultural Training College.

"The farms will be the nucleus of the milk processing plant, which will start construction in Malava in the next fiscal year, and the 12 farms will produce 6,000 liters of milk a day," said Oparanya.
The Trade and Markets Bill aims to promote and regulate trade, to provide a framework for the county government to enter into joint trade agreements with other partners and to promote economic development .
The new law seeks to establish a business park in each sub-county to accelerate development.
