The $150 million Amaya milk plant in Region Five is set to begin making paneer next week, even as it awaits the end of February importation of its main pasteurizing plant for milk bottling production to commence, founder Omkaar Sharma says.
“All major construction at the plant is completed, but the main pasteurizer plant is not scheduled to get here until the end of February. So we will be making paneer in the interim… as a secondary product,” Sharma told Stabroek News yesterday, as he provided an update on the project.
“… We have talked to one of the farmers to next week start supplying milk for a soft start and that process will begin,” he added.
