Kericho County dairy farmers have received a significant boost after Tassmatt Limited successfully installed a 3,000 litres milk cooler, a move expected to improve milk handling, reduce post-harvest losses, and enhance the profitability of dairy farming in the region.
The installation, carried out by the Tassmatt technical team, was commissioned following an order placed online through the company’s official website, www.tassmatt.com. This marks another milestone in how agribusiness stakeholders in Kenya are embracing technology, not only in production but also in procurement and service delivery.
Meeting a Growing Dairy Need
Dairy farming remains a backbone of Kericho County, complementing the area’s globally recognized tea production. However, one of the major challenges facing dairy farmers has been the lack of proper milk storage facilities. Without effective cooling systems, farmers often experience spoilage, loss of quality, and reduced earnings.
The newly installed 3,000 litres milk cooler is designed to solve these challenges. According to Tassmatt Limited, the cooler will allow farmers to preserve milk for longer periods, ensuring it retains its freshness and quality while awaiting collection by processors. This gives dairy cooperatives more bargaining power and guarantees consumers a safe, high-quality product.
Features and Benefits
The 3,000 litres capacity cooler is equipped with advanced refrigeration technology that maintains optimal storage temperatures consistently. The system helps in:
-
Reducing spoilage by keeping milk fresh for extended periods.
-
Maintaining hygiene standards required by dairy regulators and processors.
-
Supporting cooperatives to aggregate milk from multiple farmers.
-
Improving farmer incomes through better pricing and reduced wastage.
Speaking during the commissioning, a Tassmatt Limited representative emphasized that the installation is part of the company’s broader mission to provide farmers with reliable equipment that bridges the gap between production and market.
Technology Meets Agriculture
What stands out about this project is the way the order was placed. The farmer responsible for the installation made the purchase directly via www.tassmatt.com, Tassmatt Limited’s e-commerce platform. This underscores the growing importance of digital platforms in agriculture, where farmers and cooperatives can now access and purchase equipment with ease.
“Our goal has always been to make access to modern agricultural technology easier,” the Tassmatt representative explained. “Farmers no longer have to travel long distances to source equipment. With a few clicks, they can order online and have the equipment delivered and installed at their doorstep.”
Successful Installation and Training
The Tassmatt Limited technical team oversaw every step of the process, including delivery, installation, testing, and final commissioning. In addition, the farmers’ cooperative received hands-on training on how to operate and maintain the equipment to ensure its long-term efficiency.
By providing not only the equipment but also technical knowledge, Tassmatt ensures that its clients are empowered to run the machines independently and efficiently.
A Boost for Dairy Farmers in Kericho
For the farmers in Kericho, the milk cooler comes as a timely investment. Dairy cooperatives in the region often handle large volumes of milk, and without adequate cooling infrastructure, they face frequent losses. The 3,000 litres unit is expected to strengthen the cooperative’s ability to store bulk milk safely, maintain quality standards, and enhance profitability.
The cooler also positions the cooperative to expand its collection capacity, enabling more smallholder farmers in Kericho to access a reliable market for their milk.
Ordering Made Simple
This installation also highlights Tassmatt Limited’s seamless order and delivery process. By leveraging its digital platform, the company has made it possible for clients to browse, order, and pay for equipment online. The rest — delivery, installation, and after-sales support — is handled by the company’s dedicated team.
For farmers looking to modernize their operations, this case offers a practical example of how digital solutions can accelerate access to essential technology.
