Farmers are offered Kshs27 per litre at the gate of their farms; the price of the very same milk, even for half a litre, is Kshs50 in the supermarkets. This means, therefore, that a litre of milk actually costs Kshs100 on the shelves of the supermarkets. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to correct a perception earlier given by some colleagues, that water is actually cheaper than milk.
