The Kenyan government lifted a ban on the import of milk powder from Uganda on March 15, 2023. Kenya put a total ban on all importation of milk powder into the country on March 9, 2023. However, after ongoing bilateral talks between relevant ministries in both countries, a decision has been reached to lift the ban on Uganda's powder milk. Kenya is one of the biggest buyers of Ugandan milk valued at USD 32M on average annually. The ban could have negatively affected the dairy sector in Uganda which is slowly recovering after being hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and prolonged drought in the country.
