He also urged Inyange to prioritize meeting domestic demand before pursuing exports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Prime Minister advised us to explore ways to boost milk production, including working with farmers to increase yields so the plant operates at full capacity. He also stressed the importance of first serving the local market before expanding abroad,\u201d Butare explained.<\/p>\n<p>Since its completion, the Nyagatare plant has mainly produced industrial-grade powdered milk for manufacturers of ice cream, yogurt, bread, and other products. Butare assured consumers that Inyange is now preparing to release a household-friendly powdered milk\u2014similar in quality and use to Nido\u2014by September.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are now preparing to produce regular powdered milk for everyday use, and you will see it on the shelves very soon,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Inyange has obtained all required certifications for international trade and continues to work closely with farmers to boost raw milk supply. Since the plant began operations, the number of milk collection centers has grown from 43 to 139 nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Inyange has already secured markets for its industrial-grade powdered milk in countries such as T\u00fcrkiye, Syria, Tanzania, Ghana, Oman, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, Qatar, Zimbabwe, Malawi, and many others.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the Nyagatare facility operates at
