The Dairy Processing Plant at The Nyeri National Polytechnic is a flagship Income Generating Unit that blends training, innovation, and enterprise. Here, learning goes beyond the classroom into real production, where trainees participate in transforming fresh farm milk into high-quality yoghurt branded “Unified”.

Powered by milk from the Polytechnic’s own high-quality herd, the plant demonstrates a complete farm-to-factory-to-market value chain within the institution.

From Our Farm to Your Table

Milk used in production comes from the polytechnic’s well-managed herd, ensuring:

• Quality control from source

• Traceability of raw materials

• Demonstration of best practices in dairy farming

• Sustainable integration between agriculture and processing

This closed-loop model makes the plant a showcase for value addition in agriculture.

Supporting Innovation and Income Generation

As an income-generating unit, the Dairy Processing Plant:
