• W1563441190 abstract "Aims: The purpose of the study was to investigate the constraints to profitability of small holder dairy farmers in Nyeri South Sub-county. The study was guided by the following  specific  objectives; to establish the production methods used by smallholder dairy farmers and their impact in profitability in Nyeri South  Sub-county, to examine how the cost of production affects profitability of smallholder dairy farmer, to establish how government policy interventions in the dairy market influence the profitability of smallholder dairy farmers and to find out  social economic factors that affect profitability of smallholder dairy farmers. Study design: The study employed a descriptive research design. Place and duration of the study: The target population for the study included all the dairy farmers in Nyeri South Sub-county and took a period of three months. Methodology applied: Simple random sampling and stratified technique were used to select a sample of 131 farmers. The data was collected using questionnaires. A pilot study was used to determine the validity and reliability of the questionnaires. Analysis: The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Relationships between independent variables and the dependent variable were established using regression analysis. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) was applied. Results: The study found that that there was a statistically significant relationship (F=19.68, P<0.05) between Production methods, Production costs, Social Economic Factors, Government Policy and profitability of smallholder dairy farmers. Socio-economic factors had the greatest effect on profitability with a unit increase of social economic factors resulting in a 29.6% increase in profitability. Changes in production methods, production costs, socio-economic factors and government policy explain 56.1% of profitability of small scale dairy farmers. Conclusions: The researchers concluded that population growth and increased land fragmentation coupled with mixed farming practices have seen fodder production lowering.  This forces the farmers to highly rely on expensive manufactured feed and thus reducing their incomes. Recommendations: The researchers recommended that dairy farmers should use better husbandry practices to improve production and reduce cost. Dairy farmers can improve access to land through leasing. The government should make capacity building programmes more accessible to dairy farmers as well as improve their support services to them. These would promote production and income in the dairy sector hence dairy farmers’ profitability in the sector.
