The US$20 million Demerara Dairy Inc (DDI)’s major farming initiative in Moblissa is on track to produce first milk in the third quarter of 2025. This project aims to revolutionise the country’s milk production, reduce reliance on imports, and strengthen the regional milk supply chain. The project, which is a joint venture between Demerara Distillers Ltd (DDL) and Israeli company LR Group, aims to establish a technologically advanced and sustainable dairy farm that will cater to both the local and regional markets.
Project Executive for the initiative Loris Nathoo shared details about the timeline yesterday during a tour of the dairy farm. “We are hoping to have the dairy cows here, maybe the first week in June next year, and then… two to three months after that, we will have first milk,” Nathoo said. He added that the farm plans to begin production of fresh milk by the end of the third quarter, or the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2025.
