Brief Background

Registered under the cooperatives act of 1963 Reg. No. 2211 dated 1966, Toro Dairy Cooperative Society Limited is a membership-based, member-used and member-controlled organization owned by individual shareholders who are primarily dairy farmers in the Rwenzori region.

We have 375 registered members across Kabarole, Fort Portal, and Bunyangabu, with about 50% being active due to logistical constraints. The Dairy operates from our own permanent building located at Rukiidi III Street, Fort Portal City.

On average, we handle about 5,000 litres of fresh milk daily, with the potential to sell 20,000 litres per day. Our products reach consumers in Bundibugyo, Kasese, Kyenjojo and neighboring districts.
