It has also been able to open up animal feeds stores where its members can easily access concentrates and mineral supplements at competitive prices. The society has since started value addition strategy where it produces high quality yoghurt (Dafina) and pasteurized milk. The Society has also made significant strides in computerizing its operations and hire competent staff who are regularly trained.
