Construction of a 30 million litre dairy farming commences
Posted on: 25/09/18
Construction of an eye watering 30 million litre fully integrated dairy has started in Russia and will cost circa $633 million (£484 million) with funds coming from a group who are recognised as the largest Vietnamese agricultural investors.
This is the first of five farms in the pipeline with construction of all five to commence by 2020.
The farm/unit will be fully integrated from the cow to the distribution of dairy products and will house 50,000 cows at 5,800 litres/cow or 30,000 at just under 10,000 litres a cow. Now that’s what you call big!
Russia’s goal is to be self sufficient in dairy, replacing all dairy imports, within the next 8 years, which translates to the necessity to increase domestic production by 25%.
