Canada-based Guyanese Omkaar Sharma will be investing around $75 million (CDN$450,000) in a Region Five plant to bottle farmers’ milk for sale across the country.
Sharma told the Sunday Stabroek that the plant will initially produce 100 gallons per day and could be swiftly pumped up to 800 gallons a day depending on the supply from farmers.
Under the umbrella of the Amaya Milk company, Sharma said, the milk processing facility will be underpinned by the advocacy of renewables and incentivising locals.
