Over 600 head of pedigree cattle: the hardy Sahiwal that made our name, and a Holstein Friesian dairy herd delivering 900 litres of milk every day.

Our People

44 shareholder families who own this land, govern this cooperative, and have farmed it together — through good seasons and hard ones — for fifty-six years.

The cooperative way

A quietly excellent way to farm

Long before “climate-smart agriculture” had a name, the people of Keiyian were already practising it. What began in 1968 as a demonstration farm has grown into a cooperative that has outlasted droughts, market shocks and even fire — and kept growing.

With SNV and KALRO under the ICSIAPL programme, our improved forages — Brachiaria, Panicum Mombasa, Lucerne, Rhodes grass — feed our herds better while cutting methane intensity by up to a third per litre of milk. Better for the cow, the farmer, and the climate.

The field day at Keiyian changed how I manage my pasture. My cows have never milked better.
