normal sun drying is the most utilized due to availability of the sun's energy for free.There is also smoking and salting for meat products where electricity is still a challenge.However in the urban and peri-urban areas most people can afford refrigerators therefore cold storage is preferred for packed products such as milk,sodas and juice.

but in big cities like Mombasa,Nairobi,Kisumu and Nakuru industrial processes like flash pasteurization,commercial sterilization and vacuum packing are used to cater for the many people who prefer packaged foods than preparing fresh foods
