Kazakhstani "mozzarella"
One of the largest enterprises of East Kazakhstan - LLP "Vostok milk" starts to produce cheese for export
The first batch of products, about 10 tons of cheese "kachkaval", will be sent to Russia this year.
"In the past we have supplied raw materials to Russia, semi-finished goods. Now we began to send finished cheese products. Though in small amounts, but we plan to increase gradually the volume of exports. It is hard to compete in Russia. Their dairy market is very developed. But today, we conquer this market by quality", - said director of production of LLP "Vostok Milk" Adil Zheksenbai.
Manufacturers are willing to expand the range of cheese products and to increase the volume of exported goods up to a few tens of tons. This year the company has started to produce European quality cheese products. We have purchased the production line for cheese "Mozzarella". According to experts of the enterprise, the imported product is very popular in Kazakhstan. But until now, this product has been imported. "Vostok milk" is one of the first plans to supply Kazakhstani consumers with mozzarella. Of course, the domestic products will be cheaper than imported ones, noted in the company.
It should be noted that this year LLP "Vostok Milk" completed the project on reconstruction of the building of the former Dairy Plant. New dairy plant, covering an area of over 3,000 square meters, will now produce more products.
"We made the plant light as a theater in order to make it convenient and comfortable for our employees. Milk accompanies a human being from birth. We would like men in white robes to work with pleasure. And I think we succeeded. While the plant is not loaded to full capacity, only 50% of the plant has moved to the new premises. Half of the equipment is at the stage of launch. By the New Year it will work at 100% capacity", - said Adil Zheksenbai.
At full utilization the new plant’s production capacity is 250 tons of milk per day. Currently, up to 80 tons are processed a day.
"We have a completely new and unique equipment that removes up to 99% not only spore microorganisms, but also heavy metals. Due to this, milk is very well cleaned. There is also a rough cleaning. These are two filters. That is incoming milk is purified in two stages. Due to this increases the shelf life. The shelf life of our milk is a month, but we are now indicating 10 days. Milk is processed, heat-treated, pasteurized. Now gradually increase the range of dairy products", - says the engineer of the enterprise Shynar Sembayeva.
However, due to the expansion of production, there is a shortage of specialists, says Adil Zheksenbai.
"Today, the dairy industry, unfortunately, has few specialists. And the level of knowledge of personnel is poor. All professionals, who come to us, start to work from the working specialties. Today, we employ a lot of young people, who are encouraging and worthy substitute for those people who are about to retire", - concludes the director of the production.
