central province of Nghe An and the TH Milk Joint Stock Company

Nghe An (VNA) – The central province of Nghe An and the TH Milk Joint Stock
Company of Hanoi are speeding up the implementation of a large-scale dairy cow
breeding and milk processing project in Nghia Dan district.

Based on advanced Israeli technology, the 350 million USD project, the biggest of
its kind in Vietnam in both scale and investment capital, is expected to meet
30 percent of domestic demand.

The project will develop eight farms, each breeding 2,400 dairy cows, and build a
500-tonne-a-day milk processing plant.

The project is scheduled to produce its first milk products in 2011 after three
years’ construction.

Secretary of the Nghe An Party Provincial Committee Tran Van Hang said that the
project will also help reduce the number of workers in the agricultural sector and
raise the proportion of husbandry in Nghe An’s agriculture production value to
50 percent in 2010.-Enditem
