> Prolonged El Niño-linked dry conditions and rising feed costs have reduced milk production and supplies in Kenya, causing intermittent shortages and higher prices in Nairobi supermarkets. Above-average rainfall is forecast for much of the country from October to December, but recovery will take time. The government is preparing measures including feed distribution and cold-chain improvements.
