Very interesting news this one. Muadzam Shah, Pahang will be Malaysia's dairy hub once the RM50m comes into operation. First Dairy Farm (M) Sdn. Bhd. expects to produce over 8 million litres of milk by year end. The cows were imported from more than 20 farms across Australia. Currently there are 284 cows, according to Datuk Wan Abdullah Wan Salleh, First Dairy Farm's president. This will be increased to about 1,200 cows in phase 2 by year end.
Each cow will be milked twice a day, producing up to 22 litres of milk.
I was beginning to wonder how these cows will survive the Malaysian weather but this was answered later in the news report. The cows will be located in indoor barns with climate control facilities.
This project located in an area of the East Coast Economic Region (ECER), a development initiative by the government for the East Coast of Malaysia.
I guess very soon we will be looking at milk cartons with "Buatan Malaysia" logos...
