18 June, Shklov / Vladimir Matveev - BELTA /. Foreign investors must ensure maximum depth of milk processing. This was stated by the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko today, during his visit to Unimilk Shklov CJSC, according to a BELTA correspondent. Addressing Mikhail Galuev, Operational Director of Unimilk Company OJSC (Russia), Alexander Lukashenko noted that the focus should be primarily on the depth of processing. "I want you to produce the entire range of products," said Alexander Lukashenko. According to the Head of State, "exporting milk in cartons is good, but it is not what we need." "If you work as you do at home and care about the country, you will receive full support and will work in volumes as you wish," said the President of Belarus to Mikhail Galuev. The Head of State noted that Unimilk Shklov is a kind of experimental project. "We will not massively attract foreign investors in processing for obvious reasons: we have enough of our own enterprises," noted Alexander Lukashenko. The President of Belarus stated that there are no problems with processing in Belarus, especially since the demand for dairy and agricultural products as a whole in the global market is only increasing. The joint venture Unimilk Shklov was established on August 27, 2009. The shares in the charter capital of CJSC, in accordance with the constituent documents, are: Unimilk Company OJSC - 51%, Shklovsky Butter Factory OJSC - 49%. Unimilk actively cooperates with Belarusian producers and purchases significant volumes of dry milk, butter, and condensed milk. In addition, the company, together with Rogachev and Glubokoye Condensed Milk Plants, produces condensed milk for the markets of Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan. In accordance with the development concept of Shklovsky Butter Factory OJSC, the enterprise's export capacity is currently 150 tons per day, and by August 2010 it should reach 200 tons per day, or more than 70 thousand tons per year. The planned export revenue after the implementation of the first stage will exceed $30 million per year. Currently, the second stage, costing over $15 million, is under development. It is planned that as a result of the second stage, by October 2011, Unimilk's export potential in Shklov will increase to 450-500 tons per day, or 160-170 thousand tons per year, with export revenue of $70-80 million. -0-
