A new dairy factory is to be opened in the Transnistrian region by the end of this June following the extension of a family animal breeding business. It is estimated that this will be the largest dairy company in the region given that the family runs a farm with about 1,400 cows, IPN reports.

“Last year, we bought 165 young cows from Germany and now our farm produces daily over 10 tonnes of milk that is taken to the milk complex in Tiraspol. The idea of processing the milk ourselves appeared when we started to daily produce 4-5 tonnes of milk. The projected capacity of the new factory is 30 tonnes during 24 hours,” director Sergey Pisarenco was quoted by the local press as saying.

The entrepreneur’s farms are situated in Rabnitsa, but the dairy factory will be located in Parcani. The equipment is now being installed. There will be separate sections for each processing stage, such as reception, cooling and pasteurization, fermentation, butter and cheese production, packing and storing of finished products in cold storage facilities.

The producer also has the own lab. Recently,  this purchased a vehicle for transporting milk that has a capacity of 13 tonnes. The factory will produce kefir, milk, sour cream, cheese, butter, different yogurts and later pressed cheese. In shops, the products will be sold under the brand name “Blagoda”.
