I have nil experience but if you don't have some dairy animals,how will you ensure a steady,reliable milk supply?

Milk supply is not a problem. Depends on where you want to base the business.
In the world of securities, courage and patience become the supreme virtues after adequate knowledge and a tested judgment are at hand.

Its not a bad idea.There are lots of them huku mayuu and some are supplied by the local milk farmers.They even have empty bottles on offer. I remember seeing something like that on some local kenyan tv news , a guy has such a dispenser.I can't remember when it was a guy has a van which has a cooler and he has the dispenser. It can actually work but mambo ya wizi !!
The idea of the pricing is not bad too.I think milk companies are just thieves.I saw the receipt on the nakumatt topic the other day a litre of milk is 100 and they buy it from the farmers @ around 40.Even if you factored in the energy bill + other expenses, i do not think its supposed to be past 70.An example of here , they buy milk from farmers at around 38sh i get it at the supermarket for 55 or 56 (cheapest) and the most expensive at around 74 sh. The cost of energy is much cheaper but labour is more expensive. The driver,clerk,delivery guy and all earn about 1000 sh an hour and you compare this to the Kenyan labour market.
Conclusion there are milk cartels just like oil cartels.
Go on your idea is great .

milk dispensers cost from 350k to 600k,that is second hand being the cheapest but you can also import.
Milk must be pasteurized to be dispensed by this machine.(I can connect you with a guy who sells pasteurised milk)
You don't need to keep cows to do that.
Its a very good business.

@Wazuaguest,
I beg to differ with you. Milk dispensers do handle raw milk thus making it cheaper to consumers.I guess that is where the money is as long as you are not far from your milk source.

@Heri,
I do not know of a local person/organisation dealing with MDs but one thing i am certain is that the best dispensers are Italian.

The milk dispensers in Nairobi if not the whole of Kenya only vend pasteurized milk. That is the Kenya Dairy Board specification.....only processed milk to be sold!!!

Exactly! You cannot do raw milk. It is illegal to sell unprocessed milk. KDB officials told me it's OK to boil if you can afford it.

The main thing is to protect consumers from diseases brought about by consuming raw milk

Thanks all. I have only seen these dispensers in super markets. Has anyone seen them elsewhere. Because my idea is to get an estate setting with many people and rent a room and get the dispenser installed

i must confess am still in the intial stages of doing research on this and would appreciate any information eg where to buy the dispenser etc
