From a nutritional perspective, camel milk is richer than cow’s milk in vitamin C, vitamin B, iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium and contains higher quantities of copper. Although pricier than cow’s milk, there is a noticeable increase in its demand.
We supply the supermarket with camel milk and yogurt in different packages. While the market is growing, more work is required to make the milk more acceptable in other African countries.
The increase in demand for camel milk is because of its health properties, great taste in tea, and long-shelf-life. These properties rival that seen in cow’s milk. For communities that do not traditionally drink camel milk in Kenya, the demand is increasing because of the marketing and news of the milk’s potency and efficacy.
High-end consumers are demanding milk because of its health benefits.
