Why dairy processing is a good business venture
Central Milk, a South Africa-based manufacturer of stainless steel equipment for the dairy industry, is able to offer African farmers a complete solution for the establishment of a dairy processing facility.
Dairy processing has the potential to be a profitable business opportunity for farmers in Africa. “Milk is very rich in protein, and the people need that for a good meal each day,” says Anton Gilfillan managing director of Central Milk.
“Cows are in abundance on the continent, and we can provide farmers with everything to start a dairy processing plant, whether it is a small-scale facility or a large operation.”
Milk machines
Gilfillan is especially enthusiastic about the opportunities for small-scale dairy facilities. “Famers can start out by milking their cows by hand and we can then supply them with a very small processing plant. Milk and other dairy products can be sold to the local community and farmers can start to turn a profit, which will enable them to grow the business,” he explains.
Used Equipment
Central Milk manufactures most equipment required by the dairy industry. Whether you need process equipment for milk, sour milk, cheese or yoghurt, the company has technology and products to suit your requirements. Gilfillan and his team have also developed business plans to guide entrepreneurs and business people through the entire process of setting up a dairy processing facility.
