Blessed Dairies: A Local Success Story Seeking Investors

In 2004, Milton Ngirente saw an opportunity in collecting raw milk from local farmers and co-ops to increase yields. Today, they provide the largest dairy company in Rwanda, Inyange Ltd, with over 20,000 liters of fresh milk each day, which they want to increase up to 30,000 liters. In doing so, they have been able to provide regular income to hundreds of local farmers while maintaining a socially conscious business model.

Managing Director Milton Ngirente has already transformed this once small operation into a booming business, becoming one of the main players in the sector.

Milton Ngirente can actually access 50,000 liters of milk a day through his vast network and now wants investors to consider building this bigger future with him. “I invested, lost, gained, and now I am growing. This is a responsible investment and I am a responsible and patient investor”, he said.

A key milestone in recent history came in 2012, when Blessed Dairies invested in a production facility to convert milk into related products. They are now producing over 4,000 liters of yoghurt, pasteurized milk, skimmed milk, fresh cream and cheese each day, and looking to expand into new flavors and modernized packaging. “We are open and willing to work with any European, Asian, or American investors so we can expand our product line.”
