Brookside, a dairy processing firm owned by the Kenyatta family ventures into plant-based milk.
After introducing two new categories of the product made from soy and almond, the Kenyan dairy processing company Brookside has entered the plant-based milk market.
To compete with other suppliers of organic milk, such as Danone’s Alpro and Bio Foods, the goods will be offered under the company’s signature Brookside brand in one-litre packs.
Over time, people in industrialized nations have been more and more interested in plant-based milk alternatives to cow milk.
A Bloomberg Intelligence report says the plant-based foods market is expected to make up to 7.7 percent of the global protein market by 2030, with a value of over $162 billion, up from $29.4 billion in 2020.

Some people turn to non-dairy milk because of an allergy, intolerance, vegan lifestyle, avoiding animal hormones, ethical concerns and environmental issues. Cows consume a lot of resources including water and pasture besides producing large quantities of methane, a greenhouse gas.
Plant-based milk, which is made from extracts of soy and almond among others, can be up to five times more expensive compared to traditional milk.
A spot check shows one litre of almond, oat, and soy milk stocked at major supermarkets in Nairobi is retailing above Sh650.
Plant-based milk is a substitute made from nuts like hazelnuts or seeds such as coconuts, cashews, and almonds among others.
