Italian multinational dairy and food corporation, Parmalat says it plans to invest over $4 million in milk production plants in Zambia this year.
This week, Parmalat unveiled a $800,000 powdered milk plant in Zambian capital Lusaka.
“This year Parmalat is investing K30 million ($4.9 million) in capital projects. This would be followed by an ultra-high temperature processing (UTH) steriliser and homogeniser at a cost of K11 million ($1 78,5047),” Parmalat Zambia Limited managing director Mike Mallet said.
“The new projects are expected to boost output in the country as well as make Zambia a hub for milk production,” he added.
Parmalat has become the leading global company in production of long-life milk using the ultra-high-temperature (UHT) process, the company once collapsed in 2003 with a $20 billion hole in its accounts in what remains Europe’s biggest bankruptcy.
