Abstract

ABSTRACT Technical dairy innovations (TDI), such as improved cow feeding, health management and genetic improvement, could boost milk production. At the same time, organisational and institutional dairy innovations (OIDI), including group milk sales, feed and credit access, could boost dairy supply chain efficiency. This study examined the TDI adoption determinants and the OIDI adoption intensity. Data were collected from 1146 farmers (410, 382 and 354 in the milksheds of Mukurweini Wakulima Dairy Limited [MWDL], Happy Cow Limited [HCL] and New Kenya Co-operative Creameries [NKCC], respectively) and analysed using a double hurdle model. Access to credit positively influenced the TDI adoption in the three milksheds. Adoption of TDI was influenced by hired employees, dairy records, total dairy cows and household head education. The empirical evidence from the study supports the observation that OIDI adoption intensity is influenced by income, farm size, dairy records, and dairy information access. To boost TDI adoption, the dairy development partners should link cooperative society members with agricultural credit lenders. Additionally, the dissemination of dairy information to farmers by the dairy stakeholders could spur TDI adoption, while providing dairy information and training farmers on dairy record keeping should be promoted to boost TDI and OIDI adoption.

影响肯尼亚选定奶牛场采用技术、组织和制度创新的因素

乳品技术创新(TDI)，如改进奶牛饲养、健康管理和基因改良，可以提高牛奶产量。与此同时，组织和制度的乳制品创新(OIDI)，包括集团牛奶销售、饲料和信贷获取，可以提高乳制品供应链的效率。本研究考察了TDI采用的决定因素和OIDI采用强度。从1146名农民(分别为Mukurweini Wakulima Dairy Limited [MWDL]、Happy Cow Limited [HCL]和New Kenya Co-operative Creameries [NKCC]的奶棚里的410、382和354名农民)中收集数据，并使用双栏模型进行分析。获得信贷对三个牛棚采用TDI有积极影响。采用TDI受雇佣员工、奶牛记录、奶牛总数和户主教育的影响。本研究的经验证据支持OIDI采用强度受收入、农场规模、乳制品记录和乳制品信息获取的影响。为了促进TDI的采用，奶业发展伙伴应将合作社成员与农业信贷机构联系起来。此外，乳品利益相关者向农民传播乳品信息可以促进TDI的采用，同时应促进乳品信息的提供和对农民进行乳品记录保存方面的培训，以促进TDI和OIDI的采用。
