DDL signs deal with gov’t for US$15m milk plant

Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) and the government on Friday signed an agreement that would see the establishment of a US$15m milk plant following positive results from a feasibility study the company had conducted.

“We have been working on the feasibility and we have come to a conclusion that it was feasible. We presented it and are working on a specific location and so on,” Chairman of DDL Komal Samaroo told Stabroek News yesterday.

“The government has approved it and we are looking at options, because there are a couple, for its location,” he added, pointing out that the agreement was signed last week.
