Overview
editGBK Dairy was opened in 1996, with capacity of 2,000 liters a day. As of May 2015, the plant's production capacity was 100,000 liters per day, although often the factory was under-utilized, producing only 20,000 to 30,000 liters daily, primarily due to a small market. The company's products are marketed locally within Uganda and to neighboring countries within the East African Community.[1]
