Kenyans have never believed that Uganda can produce anything worth in surplus to sell to the neighbouring markets.
It should be remembered that since the late 1960’s, Uganda slid into lengthy intermittent civil wars and this gave a chance to Kenya that embarked on growing its economy and turning into a leading producer of all forms of products that the region needed.
However, Uganda has been steadily working around its internal economics for example in western region, farmers started investing heavily in dairy farming and changed from keeping local longhorn Ankole cattle to rearing modern breeds.

Summary
After several complaints by Kenyan farmers over the influx of Ugandan milk, which had seen a litre touch the historic low of Sh17, the government reacted by confiscating thousands of tonnes of milk from Uganda and consequently stopping imports.
The move did not only cause an uproar in Uganda, but also saw hundreds of workers in Pearl Dairies, the makers of Lato Milk sent on leave with production at the firm cut to bare minimum.
