In Dolinsky district of the Sakhalin region has opened a new dairy production, says the site sakhalin.info. The factory was founded at the farm, "Mriya".

Investments amounted to 6.5 million rubles received for grant under the state program of development of agriculture until 2020.

The farm produces an average of 260-280 tonnes of milk a year, but recently a dairy herd increased. About the same power mini-plant for processing raw milk. In the near future it is planned to expand production. Now the farm contains 160 cows.

The plant will produce drinking milk, kefir, ryazhenka, "Snowball", sour cream, cottage cheese, Adygei cheese and butter. With 160 cows, "dream" can be considered a major dairy production in the region, where milk only for a few large farms. For example, the largest enterprise SEC "Sokolovsky" has only 584 cows. The region produces less than 100 tons of milk per day, which covers only 30% of the demand of the local population. So it mostly depends on the importation of this product "from the mainland".

Given that the largest Creamery in the area, the plant "Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk", has a capacity of only 9 tons of milk/day, even a mini-farm plant Mriya significantly increases domestic production of dairy products in the region. By 2020, the Sakhalin region intends to provide themselves with milk by 55%. And to increase this figure to 70% will have to double the production of raw milk to 200 tons per day.
