Mejeribrug i Rusland / Dairying in Russia Af Anna Marie Thøgersen

I dette særnummer af Mælkeritidende sætter vi fokus på Mejeribrug i Rusland.

Rusland er verdens største land målt i areal, og indbyggerantallet er på 143 millioner russere, som hver især spiser ca. 50 kg mejeriprodukter årligt. En stor del af den producerede mælk konsumeres imidlertid på små lokale farme, mens kun ca. halvdelen af den russiske mælk sendes til landets mejerier og derefter videre ud til forbrugere i primært Ruslands storbyer. For at dække efterspørgslen importerer Rusland mange mejeriprodukter fra især Hviderusland og EU, herunder Danmark. Men det er den russiske regerings erklærede mål at blive selvforsynende med fødevarer, og der bliver bl.a. investeret i mejeriproduktionen. Derfor er mange danske leverandørvirksomheder aktive på det russiske mejerimarked, og flere af disse virksomheder deltager i dette særnummer med cases om deres aktiviteter i vores store naboland mod øst.

Af hensyn til vores mejerikolleger i Rusland er dette temanummer på engelsk med russiske resumeer.

Dairying in Russia Russia is the largest country in the world, covering an area of 17 million square kilometers, of which 20% is farmland. Out of the total population of 143 million, more than half of the Russians citizens live in the western part of the country. The yearly amount of milk produced in Russia is 32 million tons, of which only 59% are refined at modern dairy processing plants, according to IDF. Thus, additionally the country imports dairy products equivalent to 10 million tons of milk annually.

More than three million Russians farmers operate their milk farms throughout the country, but a substantial part of the estates are small-scale subsidiaries with only a few cows producing milk for domestic use.

During the last three decades, the number of dairy cows has declined from 20 million to 9 million. Milk yield on the other hand has risen from an average of 2000 liters in 1998 to more than 3300 in 2007. In recent years, the total Russian milk production has stabilized at approx. 32 billion liters per year. In comparison, EU-27 produced 152 billion liters of milk in 2012.

Of the total Russian milk amount, only 18 billion liters - or 59% - is delivered to well-established dairies, giants as well as minors, as the remaining 41% of the milk is consumed on the small farms and in the local community.

Dairy production in Russia A large number of small enterprises, a smaller number of medium-sized and a few large dairies characterizes the Russian dairy sector. The two dominant companies are Wimm-Bill-Dann and Unimilk followed by Molvest, which is the third largest milk collector in the country.

Overall in 2012, the Russian dairy sector produced 8.200.000 tons of dairy goods, of which liquid milk accounts for more than 50% (4.860.000 tons) and approx. one-third of the total amount was fermented milk (2.481.000 tons).

The Russian dairy market annually allocates approx. 100 billion DKK.

Table 1: Domestic Russian production of dairy goods in 2005 and 2012 in 1000 tons (with 2011 = 100).

The Russian dairy giants In 2010, Danone acquired a majority stake in Russia’s former no. 2, Unimilk.

Unimilk/Danone runs 28 dairy plants in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus; the company employs 18.000 and had a turnover of almost 14 billion DKK in 2012.

Also in 2010, PepsiCo (majority 66%) acquired Russia’s former no. 1, WimmBill-Dann. The company has 16.000 employees and the 2012-turover was app.

13 billion DKK including fruit juices.

Wimm-Bill-Dann/PepsiCo operates 38 dairies in Russia, Ukraine and the Far East.

The privately owned company, Molvest is today’s no. 3 on the rank of huge milk collectors. Further, Molvest operates nine dairies. Molvest’s yearly turnoDairy

ver is 2 billion DKK. In 2013, Danish based Arla Foods concluded a partnership agreement with Molvest, (see the article page 10).

Another major player in the Russian dairy market is Finnish Valio. Valio operates a cheese factory and a distribution center in Moscow. Including export from Finland, Valio’s turnover in Russia amounted to approx. 2.6 billion DKK. Other important players at the Russian dairy market are listed in table 2.

Import of dairy goods Since year 2000, the Russian consumers’ appetite for cheese products has grown steadily, and the domestic production has more than doubled from 221.000 tons in 2000 to 446.000 tons in 2012. Still the Russian dairies cannot keep up with demands, and the import of cheese has grown remarkably from 255.000 tons in 2005 to 531.000 tons in 2012. In addition, import rates on liquid milk, fermented products and butter has increased from 2011 to 2012 (Table 3). The exporters of the dairy goods to Russia are primarily Belarus, Switzerland (Nestlé) and EU-countries,

Facts about Russia Russian dairy consumption The demands for e.g. western style cheese and butter products among urban citizens in Russia's largest metropolis is growing rapidly these years. Consequently, we see increased domestic and foreign investments in the Russian dairy sector.

As seen in Table 4 the Russian per capita consumption of various dairy products has increased somewhat during the past few years.

The Russian Milk & Dairy Market How much milk is produced in Russia? According to the official statistics, volume of milk production in our country over the last ten years is wobbling around the same figure - 31 million tons. This includes both commercial and non-commercial milk. Commercial milk share reaches approximately 50% in Russia.

Russia is ranked sixth among world milk producers. However, since the share of commercial milk totals only 50%, our gross milk output is worse: here Russia ranks no. 8.

By Michael Mishchenko, Chief Editor of DairyNews.ru

Russian farm categories Russia is the only country in the world to divide agricultural producers into different legal categories separately covered by the statistics. While in Europe, USA and other countries there are just farmers, big or small, in Russia there are agricultural enterprises, domestic holdings and individual farms. Reason for this classification is obscure as soon as serfdom no more exists in Russia.

If a businessperson has cows, which he milks - he is a farmer - a business entity. A kolkhoz (a collective farm in Russia) - is also a business entity notwithstanding that it’s a collective farm.

Both categories sell milk to processors or process milk themselves and sell it to people. Both of them pay taxes and submit reports to the Ministry of Agriculture. A farm from each category can be unprofitable or prosperous.

Dividing Russian farms into subcategories by the statistical authorities is strange. Milk produced by an individual farmer is neither sold nor purchased - it does not exist for the country’s economy.

So who can check how much milk the Russians drink?

information, 37.5 million people live in the Russian countryside, i.e. 26% of total Russian population. These people keep four million cows. Thereby, according to the official statistics, 9.2 rural people or 2.3 families (4 members) keep one cow. Official data also shows that one rural person consumes 394.4 kg of non-commercial milk per year (or 1,08 litre per day), what is higher than the consumption rate by 50 kg.

All these facts demonstrate full milk self-sufficiency in Russian rural areas.

One can ask, why do people keep mov-

ing to big cities leaving the “prosperous countryside”?

About individual farms cows’ productivity, Penza Region is the leader here: a “rural” cow in Penza Region produces 8.5 tons of milk annually. This fact must force local investors to close up their business, because the invested money and government support are not effective compared to the individual farms which manage to keep such productivity without any support. According to Rosstat, in 10 Russian regions annual cow productivity exceeds 6 tons of milk.

Unusable statistics So, 48% (14.8 million tons) of all Russian milk is produced and drank (!) by country people. According to Rosstat

Problems with milk supply Russia’s four milk-producing centres 1. The Volga Region: Producing 940,000 tons more than they need. Milk from these regions is supplied to local markets, for example to Nizhny Novgorod, Saratov and Samara, as well as to other regions e.g. Moscow and Ural.

2. Central Region: Works for Moscow’s needs.

3. Vologda Region: Works for Moscow, Saint Petersburg and Murmansk.

4. West Siberia: Specifically Altay Territory, Omsk and Novosibirsk Regions.

(Map by Colourbox).

It is not an easy matter to comment this kind of statistical data. It is possible to make the only conclusion after these figures’ demonstration: individual farms’ data are unusable while analysing the Russian dairy market.

Uncertain consumption data Without individual farms’ data the situation on the Russian dairy market looks differently: Total number of cows: 4.550 million heads, meaning one Russian cow gives milk to 31.4 people. Milk production in Russia totals 15.9 million tons (agricultural enterprises, domestic holdings). Per capita production: 111 kg per year or 304 gr per day.

However, how much milk do Russians actually consume? According to official data, annual per capita milk consumption is 249 kg. The origin of this index is very vague as it is a well-known fact that Rosstat and the Ministry of Agriculture do not implement real monitoring of food consumption in Russia.

There is another index saying 173 kg of milk per capita per year. This is according to International Dairy Federation/

8

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2014

IDF data published in November 2013.

Frankly speaking, it would be much more beneficial for the Russian Ministry of Agriculture to accept IDF version. Why? To keep the consumption at the level of 249 kg per year the country must produce 35.2 million tons of commercial milk, i.e. the deficiency is 19.58 million tons - more than produced.

To keep the consumption at 173 kg per capita the commercial milk production must reach 24.8 million tons, here the deficiency is only 8.9 million tons what is equal to the amount of dairy products imported to Russia. So let us take as the initial index the IDF’s one - 173 kg of milk per capita per year.

To provide a medical standard of milk consumption - 340 kg per capita - milk industry should produce 48 million tons of milk. By 2018, Russia is supposed to provide itself with milk by 85%: if we really want to reach this result, the current production should already stand at 40.9 million tons of commercial milk what is 2.6 times more compared to real figures.

Analysing the regional milk self-sufficiency in Russia - a huge problem becomes evident: A majority of Russia’s territory has very low population density: people primarily live in the European part of the country. For example, population of Moscow Region (incl. Moscow) is 18.6 million. This region consumes milk and almost does not produce it. Here the level of milk consumption is higher, compared to other regions, and the deficiency is actually 3 million tons per year.

The same situation occurs in all other western regions as e.g. also in the Leningrad Region with 6.6 million population, milk deficiency here totals 624,000 tons. In addition, in Russia’s south - the country’s breadbasket - milk production faces a disastrous period. The only surplus region here is Krasnodar Region (+ 500 tons of milk) total milk deficiency is 2.1 million tons.

Severe milk shortage Summing up we see, that the Russian dairy industry works to cover Moscow needs and is still not able to “feed” it.

The growing population of Moscow is concentrated and is of great interest to the sector. Alongside with that there are huge consumption centres in Russia facing severe milk shortage: Stavropol, Rostov, Volgograd, Saratov, Samara - in the south; Chelyabinsk, Yekaterinburg, Tyumen - in the Ural; Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk - in Siberia; Khabarovsk, Vladivostok - in the Far East. Processing enterprises are eliminating now from these regions, there is no milk there! ■

Arla Natura from Kalacheevsky Back in 2007, Arla Foods introduced a selection of Danish dairy products to the Russian consumers. In general, the exported goods were well-known brands as Lurpak, Arla and Castello. However, this spring, Arla will launch the very first yellow Arla Natura cheeses produced from local Russian milk and at the Arla/ Molvest dairy plant located in the Southwestern part of Russia.

By Anna Marie Thøgersen, Editor

The Russian partners In January 2013, Arla Foods signed an agreement with Russia's third largest milk collector, Molvest concerning production of yellow cheeses at one of Molvests existing dairies in the city Kalacheevsky located in Russia’s Central District approx. 200 km east of the Ukrainian border.

The first of the Arla Natura cheeses from the Kalacheevsky-dairy will be launched this spring, and Arla's wholly owned Russian subsidiary, Arla Foods Russia will be responsible for the distribution and marketing.

- Molvest and Arla have divided the dairy project, so Molvest collects and process the required amount of milk from the surrounding farms, while Arla is responsible for production and distribution of the cheeses. So tells the Arla group's Senior Director René Fredgaard.

During the past year, he has been the leading supervisor concerning modernisation of the dairy. In the future, René Fredgaard will be the Supply Chain Director and responsible for the quality of the cheeses from Kalacheevsky.

The suppliers of projecting, services and process equipment have primarily been Danish companies: Mogren Engineering, Unitstaal, Au2mate, VJ Rørteknik, Tetra Pak/DSS and Danish Crane Building. The process components were assembled in ready to install-units before shipping off from Denmark to Russia.

During the early spring months, the first Arla Natura cheeses will be brought to retailers, primarily in the Russian metropolis with more than 750.000 citizens. Arla's target group are quality conscious middle-class Russian consumers with purchasing power who appreciate brands like Mercedes, Coca Cola and Lurpak.

Triple Russia in Denmark, informs René Fredgaard.

In addition, a handful of Danish dairymen and technicians has worked at the Kalacheevsky Dairy, and their professional approach to work has rubbed off on their Russian colleagues.

According to our strategy Triple Russia - we expect a total revenue in Russia of 2.4 billion DKK in 2017 compared to the current 800 million DKK. So informs Arla Foods’ Senior Vice President Hans Christensen, who is responsible for e.g. Arla’s business in Russia.

Still, a large part of the Arla sales in

Russia is derived through exports from the current 10-12 Danish and Swedish dairies, which have the necessary Russian export licenses. The product portfolio from these dairies includes butter, mozzarella, pizza topping, yellow and blue/white as well as cream cheese under the established Arla brands; Lurpak, Arla and Castello.

The exclusive Arla Natura brand is for the Russian market only. - The brand name Natura origins from our slogan: “Arla Closer to Nature”, and it has been very positively received by the Russian consumers, underlines Hans Christensen. ■

A Culture of Innovation for the Dairy Industry With years of experience in the dairy industry, DuPont has acquired an extensive knowledge and unparalleled experience in understanding recipes, processing methods and ingredients. Associated with this, DuPont scientists have developed a high level and often unique expertise in fermentation and microbiology and are working intensively to resolve the main challenges of the dairy industry. One dairy example of market-driven science is innovating to produce cultures that are bacteriophage robust.

By Jana Pärn, Sales Group Manager, Dairy, Russia & CIS, DuPont Nutrition & Health

Securing the Fermentation Process Quality consistency is fundamental when manufacturing yogurt and fresh fermented dairy products. Any minor variation could result in a ma-

jor difference in the type of end product produced. A significant threat to the production process comes from the possible impact of bacteriophages on fermentation, as without cultures, the production of yogurt and fresh fermented dairy products is not possible.

Bacteriophage contamination could result in yield reduction through acidification delay or potentially dead vats, variances in flavor and gas formation or even the creation of a grainy type of texture. These potential variances underlines the importance to DuPont and

However, we must note that bacteriophages exist naturally in the air and in the base milk product, and can be difficult to control.

zenka, yogurt or fermented milk product that has a distinctive mild taste.

Total Protection Solution There are many challenges facing the dairy manufacturers today, ranging from the continual pressure to create new, exciting consumer product experiences to facing retailer price pressures.

However, the need to maintain existing quality consistency and to build upon through securing the production process as much as possible against bacte­ riophage contamination is paramount.

Regrettably, there is not one total protection solution, yet a combination of measures to put in place as the lack of correct cleaning and disinfection are still the most common causes of bacteriophage contamination outbreaks.

The focus of dairy manufacturers should predominantly be on using the correct cleaning and disinfection methods as priority good manufacturing practice. There may also be additional production process facility design features that can be utilized to further pro-

tect manufacturers, such as the use of a separate room for fermentation, and sterile air over-pressure for fermentation tanks.

“However, today, DuPont is able to provide an additional security measure to the dairy industry aiding in the fight against bacteriophages and safeguarding production, due an innovation breakthrough. Bacteriophage robust cultures, available under the premium, well-known brand of YO-MIX® Yogurt cultures have been specifically designed to ensure production continuity and the supply of high-quality final product”, explains Sonia Huppert, Director of Thermophilic Cultures, DuPont Nutrition & Health.

She continues: “And due to the breadth and diversity of robust cultures available we are also able to enable customer to innovate and differen­tiate their products to respond to other challenges facing the dairy industry.”

YO-MIX® Yogurt cultures, part of the DuPont™ Danisco® range of ingredients, offer a wide variety of textures and flavors

for yogurts and fresh fermented milk products, providing consistent and stable fermentation, easing the process for dairy manufacturers. For more information, please contact your local sales office.

Дезинфекция сегодня и в будущем С повышением требований к безопасности производства продуктов питания и одновременным вниманием на финансовые стороны вопроса – особенно затраты на воду, энергию и экологию, видение Novadan’а состоит в том, чтобы быть на передовой линии современных требований к дезинфекции как для производителей продуктов питания так и для государственных пищевых служб.

Надуксусная кислота

Герт Кристенсен, менеджер по экспорту, Novadan ApS

Что выбрать Гипохлорит натрия был и остается очень распространенным дезинфицирующим средством благодаря своей цене, а также широкому бактериологическому эффекту. Тем не менее, гипохлорит натрия имеет некоторые недостатки относительно разложения и является агрессивным в применении к различным типам оборудования. Другие типы дезинфекционных методов основаные на спирте, четвертичных аммониевых соединений (ЧАС), надуксусной кислоты и нагрева / стерилизации – все с более или менее хорошими свойствами и эффектом. ЧАС чаще всего являются нежелательными на многих молочных предприятиях, потому что они могут оказать негативное влияние на процесс подкисления при неправильном использовании, а также имеют плохой экологический профиль. Стерилизация паром и горячей водой эффективны, если достигается нужная температура, но это требует больших затрат энергии, и часто затраты на ремонт и техническое обслуживание значительно возрастают, потому что материал подвергается частому нагреву и последующему охлаждению.

Большинство производстваенных компаний пищевой промышленности осознали преимущества использования дезинфицирующих средств на основе надуксусной кислоты. Надуксусная кислота является дезинфицирующим средством, которое эффективно в применении против бактерий, вирусов, дрожжей и плесени. Преимущества использования надуксусной кислоты для производителей продуктов питания очевидны: • Экологический зеленый профиль, поскольку компоненты распадаются на воду, кислород и соли уксусной кислоты – вещества, которые не имеют негативного воздействия на окружающую среду.

• Надуксусная кислота используется холодной как для систем CIP, так и для дезинфекции поверхностей,

что приводит к экономии времени и денег.

Предпочитаемый поставщик Novadan является одним из крупнейших поставщиков надуксусной кислоты в Скандинавии и одним из предпочитаемых в Европе и на Ближнем Востоке, когда речь идет о дезинфецирующих средствах с надуксусной кислотой. С течением времени Novadan с большим успехом изменил обычные дезинфицирующие растворы на дезинфекцию надуксусной кислотой с соответствующей экономией и экологическими преимуществами на радость клиентов. В то же время ощутился значительный эффект по бактериологическим результатам и производственный отдел, следовательно, может использовать свои

Closer to the Russian Customers Major upgrade of offices and new Application Center in Moscow strengthens Chr. Hansen’s presence on the huge market.

By Helle Rexen, Communications Consultant, Chr. Hansen A/S

Even though the Russian economy slowed down somewhat last year, the World Bank still projects 3.1 percent growth for 2014, and the trend towards demanding Western European product types and quality lingers on.

Chr. Hansen has been present on the Russian market since 1998 and has strengthened its position by investing in a major upgrade of office facilities and establishing an application laboratory in December 2012 in order to be closer to the local customers and respond faster to their needs.

The Russian affiliate of the 140-yearold global bioscience company has developed rapidly during the past 15 years.

Starting out with only one man, the staff has grown to approx. 40, who serve the Russian dairy, food & beverage and meat & prepared foods industries in a close working partnership with their customers.

level in the industry over the years, and I am proud to say that Chr. Hansen is known by almost every Russian food producer - and recognized as a leader in innovation and technology,” he elaborates.

Cultures and enzymes for the dairy industry have been and are still a strong growth driver for Chr. Hansen Russia.

Also, ingredient solutions for the meat industry and natural colours are in a very positive momentum.

Times of change - great business potential “What we are seeing right now is that the Russian customer base is changing.

The international customers are consolidating and getting bigger, and with that the demand on products and services are increasing,” explains Elsborg.

“This leaves us with great business potential. One example is our protective cultures FreshQ® aimed at fresh dairy products, which are well suited for the local Russian fresh cheese product, Tvorog. However, that calls for running a number of trials in order to find the optimum recipe with a good flavour profile, and with the new facilities we can do that in a fast and smooth manner”.

Another potential is within natural colours, as a new law has come into force in Russia in June 2013. The new law is aligned with European legislation requiring labelling of certain synthetic colours. Chr. Hansen’s application centre can assist customers in converting

Chr. Hansen’s protective cultures FreshQ® are well suited for local Russian fresh cheese products such as e.g. Tvorog.

Growth drivers “The Russian market is very important for us because the innovation level in the local food industry is so high,” says Kristian Elsborg, Area Country Manager, North Europe.

“The close interaction between our specialists and the food producers has given birth to many new exciting products within a variety of categories. Together we have improved the knowledge

to natural colours by running trials in food and beverage applications, performing light and storage stability studies etc., until the optimum solution has been identified.

Off to a good start Since the inauguration a little over a year ago, the new centre has got off to a good start.

“Our customers are indeed using our services in our new application lab. We produce and analyse a lot of different fermented milk products in local milk, especially set Riazhenka and set Postakavask. When customers

for example would like to launch various new Western type fermented products in Russia, our new laboratory facilities can tailor culture solutions suitable for these new applications,” says Maike Lisberg, Lab Manager, Chr. Hansen.

Competitive advantage Chr. Hansen’s investment represents confidence in the future of the Russian market.

“We clearly see it as a competitive advantage to have the strength and resources to assist our customers as we do. Local application facilities on the strategically important Russian market will reduce development cycles, increase local service levels and bring us closer to our customers,” concludes Elsborg. ■

Chr. Hansen все ближе в российским клиентам Компания Chr. Hansen появилась на российском рынке в 1998 году и с тех пор укрепила свои позиции, инвестировав в 2012 в модернизацию своих офисных помещений и создание лаборатории. Это было продиктовано необходимостью формирования условий для быстрого реагирования и удовлетворения растущих потребностей клиентов. Тесное взаимодействие специалистов компании и производителей пищевой отрасти позволило создать много новых продуктов. Закваски и энзимы для молочной промышленности были и остаются мощным стимулом роста компании Chr. Hansen в России. Кроме того, уверенный рост сохраняется и в таких категориях, как ингредиенты для мясной промышленности и натуральные красители.

Always Close to the Customers:

The Russian Story of TREPKO

By Agnieszka Libner, President and Managing Director, TREPKO Poland and Joanna Pacesz, Regional Sales Director for RUSSIA, TREPKO Poland

As an international group, TREPKO delivers packaging machines worldwide.

Founded in 1947, the company started in the local market, but soon the horizons of the activity started to expand. In all possible directions.

The first experience with the Russian market came in the 80’s of the 20th century. A real expansion started at the beginning of the 21st century, when TREPKO took over its Polish subsidiary.

Being able to communicate in Russian and to offer competitive solutions TREPKO started to win the customers’ trust. The journey started in the oil & fat industry where TREPKO enjoyed its first success with clients such as Solnechnye Produkty and fat plants in Jevdakovo, Kirov or Sankt Petersburg.

direct contact to the customer and readiness to listen to the market trends and individual requirements - resulted in many new orders and a strong position in the market. Today more than 200 different machines and packaging lines is in operation in many companies located throughout Russia, both in its European and Asian part. Our reference list includes among others: Wimm-Bill-Dann (PEPSICO), Unimilk (DANONE), Saf Neva (LESAFFRE), HEINZ in Sankt Petersburg, MOLVEST GROUP and many other companies. It is the TREPKO machines that are used to pack brands beloved by the Russian consumers, for example: “Domik v derevne”, “Chudo”, “Vkusnoteevo”, “Druzhba”, “Prostokvashino”.

Packing Russian brands

Russian innovations

The following years were devoted to expansion to other market areas, such as meat and dairy. Fairs, exhibition, press advertisement, but first of all -

For many years of the activity in the Russian market, TREPKO has been taking part in more and more innovative projects. Thanks to the close cooperation

with the customers, the company was able to develop and implement new solutions, which subsequently become a standard in the market. A perfect example are full packaging lines: from a single cup to a pallet, installed - among others - in the Lianozovo Dairy Plant (PEPSICO). Similar installations (brick wrappers combined with cartoning machines) can be found in Agrokombinat in Riazan or Ekomolprodukt in Slavsk.

Trepko exhibition in Poland In May 2013, the Polish subsidiary of TREPKO hosted the 3rd edition of the TREPKO CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION. This unique event takes place every 3 years at the TREPKO EXHIBITION & TRAINING CENTRE. The idea is to show the latest developments at work and demonstrate the real packaging process. Our Russian partners showed a tremendous interest in this event and 55 representatives of the Russian dairy industry came to Poland to take part in the show. A proactive approach resulted in many interesting discussions and new projects.

Dairy Industry exhibition Moscow TREPKO wants to be present in the Russian market also with new machinery proposals. Therefore, during the coming Dairy Industry exhibition in Moscow, a new packaging technology in the TREPKO offer will be presented: the 9000 Series machines for forming, filling and closing of cups.

A perfect summary of the TREPKO Russian story, and a motto for the days to come can be described by this wellknown piece of advice: “think globally, act locally”. When one thinks of Russia, the world’s biggest country may seem intimidating. At TREPKO we do not spend much time on looking at the maps. We prefer to meet and listen to our customers and build a real partnership. And this is how we go global. ■

Dairy Units Ready-to-Install in Russia The Danish company Unitstaal has great expertise within design, engineering, building and implementing process equipment for customers within the food industry, and especially dairies.

Lately, we have been involved in designing and building ready-to-install units at Arla Foods’ Russian cheese plant in Kalacheevsky.

By Svend-Erik Sørensen, Owner and CEO, Unitstaal

The Russian cheese plant In 2013, we were pleased to join the co-operative team behind Arla Foods and Molvests’ Russian business on upgrading the company’s cheese plant in the southwestern part of Russia.

Unitstaal’s task was to design, plan and construct the needed equipment for treating the raw milk entering the dairy. Thus, we have designed and built three CIP-units, four valve matrix units and four condensates as well as whey separator, batch and sludge pasteurizers.

Palle Jellesmark from DairyTech supervised the Russian Arla up-grading, and he projected our part of the work to be carried out in collaboration with other partners, with particular focus on

integrating the automated steering and control as well as the piping of the units.

We have designed and constructed all process components and installed these in finished units for easy shipment and later deployment at the Russian dairy.

Further, all units are designed for future enlargement - if desired.

Highly competent and experienced Unitstaal is a steel forging and engineering company producing tanks, units and processing plants in stainless steel for the dairy, food and non-food industries.

Further, we offer a wide range of effective process solutions to the industry and we have created a huge number of innovative solutions for our customers.

These process plants have produced values for our customers year after year.

Our process solutions come as standard installations or as customized turnkey plants - both in the means of complex production and stand-alone units.

If wished we service and maintain our customers’ plants in a professional manner, both as regular inspections and overhauls.

The above-mentioned Russian Arla project is a typical example of how Unitstaal cooperate with either End- or OEM-customers. Recently we have designed and constructed a minor but com-

plete dairy pilot plant for a Dairy Education Center in Estonia. This task was on request from a large international ingredients company.

Focus on dairy processing The dairy industry has always been our focus, and we have years of experience in designing customized solutions to several Danish as well as foreign dairy companies.

Unitstaal offers a wide range of effective process solutions for the dairy industry, from milk reception, handling, recording and storage of raw milk, standardization of fat and protein, mixing and dosing plants, pasteurization and heat treatment, energy and water savings as well as handling and storage of products ready for filling and packaging. In addition, we have extensive expertise within designing and building CIP units for automatic cleaning of processing plants and equipment.

Facts about Unitstaal • The company was established in 1999 by owner and CEO, Svend-Erik Sørensen.

• Unitstaal is an engineering company designing and supplying complete process solutions for both End- and OEM-customers, especially within the dairy and food industry and general process industries.

• The company employs 20 highly skilled engineers, technicians, electricians etc.

Primodan sets out for Russia

By Lars Henriksen, Sales Manager, Primodan A/S

Primodan A/S The Danish company Primodan holds more than 60 years of experience within constructing filling and sealing lines and equipment as well as complete Ultra Filtrated (UF) Feta cheese lines for the dairy industry. Primodan is an orderproducing company, and we design and manufacture the filling machines for the dairy and food industry at our factory in Vipperoed, Denmark.

In general, Primodan constructs three types of machines: • Small roundtable fillers for capacities up to app. 3.000 cups/hour • Roundtable fillers for capacities up to app. 10.000 cups/hour • Inline-machines for >10.000 cup/ hour.

Meet us at the exhibition Since 2012, Primodan has made targeted efforts in entering the Russian market by hiring a responsible sales person, dedicated only to the Russian market.

Россия – в фокусе компании Primodan В 2012 года компания Primodan поставила для себя цель: выйти на российский рынок и создать представительство полностью ориентированное на этот регион. Именно поэтому, уже в прошлом году компания Primodan приняла участие в Форуме «Молочная и мясная индустрия 2013» и снова планирует свое участие в нем в 2014. Участие в Форуме в 2013 году дало возможность познакомиться с большим количеством клиентов молочной и пищевой промышленности, а также с их потребностями и ожиданиями от фасовочного оборудования. А опытные специалисты компании смогли определить, какое оборудование ее портфеля будет наиболее 24 изMÆLKERITIDENDE 2014 интересно российскому клиенту.

Primodan flexible Roundtable Filler, up to 3.000 cups/hour.

Likewise, Primodan participated in the first Dairy & Meat exhibition in Moscow in 2013, and we will be present at the up-coming Dairy & Meat exhibition in the Russian capital in March 2014.

At the 2013-exhibition we gained valuable experiences from the Russian customers regarding their needs and market requests of various food products suitable for filling at our Primodan-lines.

Consequently, we decided which of our different machine types fits the Russian market profile.

Filling Russian dairy products In Russia there are huge demands for filling machines for products like the special Twarog type, however the dairies prefer filling lines with high degrees of flexibility making it possible to not only fill Twarog but also other products and cup formats on the same machine.

Currently Primodan is executing delivery and commissioning of various equipment at Dairy Culture in St. Petersburg. In general, we experience great interest in our Filling & Sealing Lines, wherever we get the opportunity to present the possibilities of our Primodan-machines.

In the near future, our customers and we are ready to sign several new orders.

Primodan features As standard, all Primodan-machines are equipped with the below mentioned features making them some of the most flexible and automatic lines available in the market. Thus, we believe that we have a great opportunity to supply the specific kinds of machines requested in the market.

• Full servo-control for automatic changeover between cup heights by activating the desired recipe at the touch-screen control-panel • Format changeover without the need of tools • Combi-heatsealing heads - eliminating changeover of sealing heads.

In many countries, we experience increasing demands for “Ultra filtrated Feta cheese” - including in Russia. Primodan is the world leader in designing and supplying turnkey dairy plants for producing exactly this type of cheese.

Thus, we have the expertise in assisting dairies with recipe development, process know-how, and handling from raw milk to final product.

Currently, more than 60 Primodanplants are running worldwide, and we have supplied plants to dairy companies such as Arla Foods, Lactalis, Ülker, Sütas, Pinar and many more others. ■

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2014

The SRS 10 Sifter comes in two versions, one optimized for dry cleaning and one with integrated CIP. Picture 1 shows two SRS 10 Sifters with each 8 m2 screening area, supplied to one of EU’s major manufactures of baby foods.

On a very low screen mesh, the sifters handle more the 9 tons of powder per hour. The machine designs are optimized for quick dry-cleaning within less than 30 min.

The Scan-Vibro sifter designs are developed according to thorough evaluation: • Optimal sieving function • Gentle sieving function (for instance minimum breakdown of agglomerated powders) • Hygienic design, with a minimum of product build-up (less waste during cleaning) • Overall lifetime of the machine (low maintenance)

Furthermore, the SRS 10 Vibration Sifter design is based on the required standards and guidelines for machinery to be used in the food industry such as EHEDG, USDA 3A, NZFSA (NZCP6). As a member of the EHEDG organization, Scan-Vibro A/S takes active part in the improvement of machinery to be used in the food industry.

Other core equipment Yet another of Scan-Vibro’s popular equipment is the Vibration conveyors type TRS (see Picture 2), designed for use in numerous areas of the food industry, and wherein a closed sanitary and gentle conveying is required.

The TRS also comes as a reverse 2-way vibration conveyor TRS-R, where the powder can be transported either one or the other way. The advantages of the TRS-R conveyor is e.g. a very limited building height and food print combined with competitive pricing.

Scan-Vibro A/S Scan-Vibro’s technological superiority rests on knowledge and the employees’ year-long high technical experience. The staffs count 67 highly skilled engineers, smiths, CAD draughts-men and other technicians.

Russia Strives for Innovations The main trend of the Russian dairy market is related to its aggregate annual growth slowdown (CAGR), due to rising costs of raw materials. If during the period from 2009 to 2012 this figure was 2.4%, in 20122015 the number decreased to 1%. This will cause the continuous demand for Tetra Pak innovations from dairy and food producers. Industry requires cost-effective, eco-efficient and attractive technological and packaging solutions for the consumer.

By Maxim Rakov, Communications Manager, Tetra Pak, Russia

Innovation for milk processing 2013, was the year of several major launches in the field of process equipment for the dairy industry. “Dream” company has launched a unique solution Tetra Lactenso Aseptic OneStep to produce UHT milk brand “Yasniy Lug”. New technology reduces the processing of raw materials, saves energy and water resources, reducing environmental impact. Its essence lies in the fact that the processes of separation, standardisation and UHT treatment of the milk is now implemented in a stream - as part of a single unit of equipment. Raw milk is treated with UHT process, bypassing intermediate steps of pasteurization, refrigeration and storage. As a result, this process eliminates the need for organising the storage section for pasteurized milk, and additional pasteurizing

installations for cleaning storage tanks and pasteurized milk.

In practice, this solution saves money in multiple ways. So, if it comes to producing about 200 tons of milk per day, compared with the traditional UHT technology, Tetra Lactenso Aseptic OneStep reduces product losses from CIP by one third, reduces power consumption of approximately 38%, and steam and clean water - for 45% and 60% respectively. In addition, it allows producer to pre-calculate these and other performance indicators, including, for example, greenhouse gas emissions.

Innovation for whey processing Another important innovation - reverse osmosis filtration plant Tetra Alcross® RO Lite, designed for concentrating whey before its shipment, and (or) further processing. It was created specifically for small and medium-sized cheese factories. The module is already profitable, where we are talking about concentration from 50 thousand litres of whey per day. Tetra Alcross® RO Lite manufacturers with smaller volume

of whey is guaranteed to get not only a concentrated whey product but also 37.5 thousand litres of water. The remaining 12.5 thousand litres of concentrated whey can be further processed to high value whey or whey products.

Product innovations Yet to evaluate the content, the consumer must first buy a pack - choose among multiple options on a store shelves.

Differentiation on the shelf for many Russian producers is coming to the fore.

And for each of them Tetra Pak aims to offer a customized solution.

Thus, “Galaktika” group has chosen Tetra Brik Aseptic Edge 250 ml with lid HeliCap 23 for its cream “Bolshaya Kruzhka” which is the unique format not only for Russia but also for the whole international market. New format of packaging has become more convenient for the consumer.

Summer 2013th in the Russian market was introduced with another product launch: Danone started production of bioyoghurts for children called “Tema” in Tetra Top packaging Mini 200 with One Step Opening. In the category of baby food, this is the first launch. Er-

Tetra Pak Вследствие удорожания сырья темпы совокупного годового роста российского молочного рынка продолжают снижаться – отрасль требует экономически и экологически эффективных решений. В числе процессинговых инноваций, которые компания Tetra Pak предложила заказчикам в 2013 году – технология Tetra Lactenso Aseptic OneStep для производства ультрапастеризованного молока, фильтрационная установка обратного осмоса Tetra Alcross® RO Lite для сгущения сыворотки и фризер непрерывного действия S700 A 2.0. Главными упаковочными новинками признаны Tetra Brik Aseptic

gonomic and environmentally friendly format brought another advantage to Danone quality products and received positive consumer feedback from the parents - the target audience of the project.

However, perhaps the highlight of last year was the launch of aseptic carton bottle Tetra Evero Aseptic for a PepsiCo premium milk brand “Domik v Derevne”. The launch has resulted in a consumer premium product in the

premium format - which are original, eco-friendly, convenient and safe. ■

Our expertise covers every single part of the dairy process from raw material reception to packaging including high value-added processes, OEE and MES solutions.

Flexible control system

By Klaus Dam, Managing Director, Au2mate A/S

Technology transfer to Russia In the autumn 2013, Au2mate was engaged in an efficient, rapid and smooth technology transfer to Molvest at the Kalacheevsky Cheese Dairy in Russia.

Background: Today, Arla Foods is producing Havarti cheeses in cooperation with Molvest in Russia at a plant located approx. 1000 km south of Moscow. The cheese vats were transferred from Arla Foods Krusaa. The project involved significant technology transfer, and Au2mate delivered the control system including training and start-up.

In order to ensure safe technology transfer and a smooth start-up in Russia, the Russian personnel received training by Au2mate engineers in Denmark. Two directors, three technical employees and five operators went to Denmark in order to participate in the FAT test and to receive training in operating the control system. Likewise two engineers from Au2mate went to Molvest to participate in functiontests, respectively, with water and then with milk. Furthermore, technical personnel were trained in fault-finding.

30

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2014

In order to facilitate effective, rapid and smooth technology transfer and to ease the installation and start up in Russia, core parts of the plant were built, premounted, and FAT tested as units before shipment to the site.

The control system is based on unit control panels of which each includes PLC, I/O cards, HMI touch screen, and MCC and frequency converters. This offers a flexible and uniform solution based on local operation of each process unit. Communication between control panels takes place via Ethernet.

The main control system is based on a Siemens S7-400 CPU incorporated in a stainless steel cabinet together with S7-400 interface cards and MCC equipment.

Local control panels are placed at each of the five cheese vats. Further, an operator panel in stainless steel with Siemens 10” touch screen is installed, from which the central operation of the cheese vats takes place.

Data-collection and supervision For central supervision, data collection and reporting, we further supplied an extra client including a MIS operator station with Wonderware In-touch / IAS software.

The dairy personnel can use the PCstations for comprehensive supervision of the process, showing overall status for each process segment/unit. Further, it is possible to modify/change the cheese recipes from the PC-stations.

All plant operation and manual operation of plant components take place at the local operator panels. In addition, data collection and reporting includes milk intake, pasteurization, cheese vats and CIP.

Technical data In total 28 panels/units are connected to the control system. Approx. 2400 I/O are controlled. The Au2mate supply scope includes:

Case: Valves at Arla Foods - Brabrand Dairy

Af Anna Marie Thøgersen

KEOFITT A/S

World Leaders in Sterile Sampling KEOFITT A/S is a Danish exporting company founded in 1980 by brew-master Kai Ottung. Kai Ottung worked as a brew-master around the world and developed a unique product range for sterile sampling, as he discovered that sampling of the product was often the weak link in the process. This product range aims at breweries as well as at pharma, biotech, food, beverage, and the dairy industries.

You already know us!

No matter which beer, soft drink, milk, or mineral water you consume in Denmark – or in Russia – there is a good chance that quality control has been executed on a sample taken by a KEOFITT sampling valve.

Case: Arla Brabrand Arla Foods is one of the world’s leading producers of dairy products such as cheese, milk and yoghurt. At Denmark’s largest yoghurt dairy, in Brabrand, Arla produces large volumes of soured fresh milk products launched daily in retailers’ refrigerated displays and on consumers’ breakfast tables in Denmark, Scandinavia and the EU. Sterile sampling ensures bacteriologically pure products and better traceability, enhancing the dairy’s global competitiveness by increasing efficiency. Brabrand dairy product range includes junket, yoghurt and various desserts. These are poured into tubs and cartons on an aseptic bottling line specially designed for long-life dairy products.

32

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2014

A total of 14 Keofitt valves are placed at strategic locations in the process line, from berry delivery, through production, to bottling of the finished products. The valves are an important supplement to the dairy’s own comprehensive controls: bacteriological, chemical, physical and flavour-related samples.

Overripe berries can quickly ruin a whole yoghurt production, so valves are used with openings large enough for taking samples with the correct viscosity and particles. The valves also prevent cross-contamination between the product and sample.

Valves save on drilling and welding The 300-m-long advanced bottling line at Arla Brabrand is the longest of its

kind in Denmark. Sterile quality control is a particular challenge in long pipe systems, where the only alternative for sterile testing of the product is through invasive measures, e.g. drilling holes in the pipes and manually removing samples.

Such measures comprise a further potential contamination risk, so the correctly positioned valves are the optimal way of eliminating external contamination.

Improved traceability Modern yoghurt production must fulfil increasingly strict demands from the authorities and consumers regarding food health and safety. Thus, the key to effective traceability is to isolate the critical factors.

NR. 6

The Brabrand bottling line is divided into 12 sections and at each intersection or point in the bottling line where e.g. water, steam or the product is added, the machine is equipped with valves.

Hence, every production variable can be isolated and tested. Early tracing prevents the contamination from spreading, ruining large quantities and causing long production stops.

The fastest route to the shelves A shorter route to market and longer shelf-lives are two vital parameters for success in a competitive global food market. Once again, sterile valves play an important role by speeding up the manufacturing process and thereby ensuring longer shelf-lives for fresh products.

Microbiological tests shorten lead times in production and increase flexibility. With aseptic quality control, Arla offers its customers a shorter time

to market and consumers get fresher dairy products in their refrigerators.

Increased competitiveness Bacteriological control has increased the uptime for each production in the bottling line from 36 hours to 48 hours.

This means that a larger yoghurt tonnage can pass through the dairy faster.

The better utilisation of the production equipment significantly increases the dairy’s capacity, resulting in a significant increase in the dairy’s competitiveness.

Sterile sampling is a profitable investment in long-term quality improvement. ■

Pre-insulated Pipes Improve the energy efficiency of refrigerated systems lower than for an equivalent system using traditional insulation.

By Lars Petersen, Sales Manager, Industry, LOGSTOR A/S

There are many good reasons for using pre-insulated pipe systems within the food and chemical industries. Given the current heightened political focus on energy efficiency and reductions in CO2 emissions, we are seeing greater interest in environmental and economic factors in addition to the practical and hygienic benefits.

The environment and economics LOGSTOR’s technology for the production of pre-insulated pipe systems - straight pipe and joint systems - is constantly being refined to reduce energy losses to an absolute minimum, and thereby minimise operating expenses for companies and environmental impacts from their systems. The result is a very efficient pipe system with a high insulation property throughout the system’s entire service life.

Optimal insulation plays a vital role in avoiding energy losses during production processes. LOGSTOR supplies pipe systems with various insulation thicknesses, so pipe dimensions can be matched to any given requirements. The energy loss from a pre-insulated pipe system from LOGSTOR is over 40%

36

MÆLKERITIDENDE 2014

Condensation and hygiene The primary reason the food industry originally began to use pre-insulated pipes was to prevent condensation and improve hygiene. These are both still important advantages. By choosing an insulation thickness, which ensures the air temperature, remains above the dew point temperature, condensation and dripping from pipes are prevented, and the risk of bacteria accumulation is minimal.

The pre-insulated pipes are supplied with white or black polyethylene (HDPE) casing. They are 100% waterproof, and can therefore handle high or low-pressure cleaning without moisture penetration. The insulation remains intact and dry, and does not provide a breeding ground for bacteria.

It also protects the service pipe, avoiding corrosion. A report from the Danish Technological Institute has shown that the smooth surfaces on HDPE casing pipes are just as easy to clean as stainless steel surfaces.

Maintenance costs Pre-insulated pipe systems are maintenance free. The outer casing and insulation have a high combined mechanical strength, making them resistant to impacts from the physical environment.

They can even be used as a gangway, without damage to either the casing or insulation. The HDPE casings do not

LOGSTOR - Предварительно изолированные системы трубопроводов оптимизируют энергетическую эффективность систем охлаждения Технология компании LOGSTOR по предварительной изоляции систем трубопроводов постоянно совершенствуется для того, чтобы свести потери энергии к абсолютному минимуму, и тем самым, минимизировать операционные издержки компаний и их экологическую нагрузку. Очевидный результат – очень эффективная система трубопроводов с высокой изоляционной способностью. Такая система изоляции трубопроводов не требует обслуживания. Полиэтиленовая (HDPE) наружная обшивка и одновременная изоляция обеспечивают высокую механическую прочность системы, что позволяет оптимально противостоять воздействию физической среды. Будучи на 100% водоупорной, такая система устойчива к мойкам под высоким или низким давлением без последующего проникновения какой-либо влаги. Изоляция остается неповрежденной и сухой, и тем самым, не приводит к росту количества бактерий в системе.

deform like metal casings, and therefore remain sealed, keeping the insulation intact throughout the lifetime of the system.

Pre-insulated pipes provide the following advantages in dairy applications: • Constant, high insulation capacity • High energy efficiency in the pipe system • Sturdy pipes which do not deform • Plastic (HDPE) casing: shock-resistant, waterproof, salt and chemical resistant, hygienic, protects against corrosion • Easy to clean • No condensation • Pipe supports directly on the plastic casing prevent thermal bridges.

Pre-insulated pipes from LOGSTOR are manufactured in a controlled factory environment, and the system encompasses all necessary fittings and joints, making the pipes easy and safe to install – indoors, outdoors or underground. The system is very flexible, accommodating the best pipe routing for any given project. ■

The organisation behind LOGSTOR pre-insulated pipe systems LOGSTOR is the world's leading producer of preinsulated pipe systems for the transportation of all types of liquids and gases, at temperatures ranging from -200°C to +250°C. The most common applications are in areas of district heating, district cooling, the food industry and other industries, as well as oil and gas.

Bornholms Andelsmejeri fik en flot øget afsætning på eksportmarkederne af især virksomhedens St. Clemens-oste, hvor salget steg med +12 mio. kr. til i alt knap 240 mio. kr. i regnskabsåret 2013. Det skriver Bornholm.nu. Bornholms A/M forventer i år salg til endnu flere eksportmarkeder, bl.a.

Mexico og Brasilien.

Dog oplevede Bornholm et fald i salget af drikkemælk med 290 tons mindre end året før. På Bornholms generalforsamling den 11. marts oplyste bestyrelsesformand Kim Larsen desuden, at mejeriet i seneste regnskabsår solgte i alt 3,3 mio. kg konsummælk, og heraf udgjorde den økologiske mælk godt 27%.

Derudover har Bornholm i 2013 øget lønproduktionen for Skånemejerier og har fra denne virksomhed importeret godt 13 mio. kg mælk til fremstilling af smør og oste, hvor Skånemejerier betaler en fast pris pr. produceret kg. (Foto: Bornholms Andelsmejeri).

Mindre risiko for sukkersyge

Et glas mælk!

Danmarks Mejeritekniske Selskab afholder seminar om ”Konsummælk” torsdag den 3. april 2014 kl. 10.0016.00 på Hotel Legoland, Åstvej 10 i Billund.

Drikkemælk anno 2014 har fået et andet perspektiv, end mælken havde for blot få år siden. Der fokuseres på bl.a. sundhed, beriget mælk, ”designet” mælk, proteinopbygning, økologi, miljø og mælketrends samt væsentlige parametre inden for sundhed, ernæring og teknologi mv. (Foto: Colourbox).

Er mælk sundt, eller er mælk ikke sundt? Spørgsmålet er blevet undersøgt mange gange, og billedet er ikke helt entydigt.

Nu viser en ny undersøgelse udgivet i tidsskriftet Diabetologia, at et halvt glas syrnet mælkeprodukt, såsom skyr eller yoghurt uden sukker, mindsker risikoen for at udvikle type 2-diabetes med en fjerdedel. Samtidig viser undersøgelsen, at fedtfattige mælkeprodukter som letmælk, minimælk og skummetmælk mindsker risikoen med en femtedel.

Bag analysen står et forskerhold på Cambridge universitet, som i deres undersøgelse har fulgt 4.127 personer gennem 11 år. Personerne har ført kostdagbog og løbende rapporteret deres madvaner til forskerne. Forskerne fandt, at et dagligt indtag på 80 gram yoghurt uden tilsat sukker er forbundet med 28% mindre risiko for at udvikle type 2-diabetes, efter de havde modregnet statistiske variationer i køn og alder.

Løgismose anklager Arla

Stor mælketørst i Kina Kinas import af mejerivarer stiger eksplosivt og trækker priserne i hele verden med op. Importen har sat rekord de seneste tre måneder i træk og er nu dobbelt så stor som for et år siden, skriver Jyllands-Posten. Udviklingen drives af Kinas hastigt voksende middelklasse, som indkøber stadig større mængder dyre, importerede mejerivarer, og samtidig opbygger Kina pt. store strategiske lagre af mælkepulver.

Frede Juulsen, der er direktør for Arlas aktiviteter i Kina, oplyser til Jyllands-Posten: - Priserne på mejerivarer i Kina er meget høje og fortsat stigende. Vi kan for tiden sælge økologisk langtidsholdbar mælk i Kina til literpriser omkring 25 kroner. (Arkivfoto).

Løgismose anklager Arla for at bruge sin dominerende markedsposition til at sælge mælk til andre mejerier til urimeligt høje priser. Og det er stærkt konkurrenceforvridende, lyder det fra Løgismoses direktør Steen Aalund Olsen i et interview med Landbrugsavisen. - Jeg tror, at det har kostet os 10 millioner kroner, som vi har betalt for meget i mælkepris, siden de ændrede afregningsmodellen for 10 år siden.

Løgismose har nu indbragt sin klage over Arla Foods til Konkurrence- og Forbrugerstyrelsen. Ifølge Landbrugsavisen er Arla ked af anklagen, men kommunikationschef Astrid Gade Nielsen ønsker ikke at kommentere yderligere, så længe myndighederne behandler sagen.

Peters Is nomineret Hele 177 nyheder står i kø på fødevaremessen Foodexpo, der afholdes i MCH Messecenter Herning den 16.-18. marts i Herning, oplyser messecenteret. De mange nyheder er opdelt i kategorierne ”Føde- og drikkevarer” samt ”Interiør og Udstyr” og samles på et fælles område under Foodexpo 2014. Her kan de besøgende opleve hele feltet af Foodexpo News, og de to vindere - én fra hver kategori - afsløres på åbningsdagen. Der er vurderet på bl.a. nyhedsværdi, smag og anvendelse, og bag bedømmelsen står et dommerpanel af førende eksperter fra detail- og fødevarebranchen. Blandt de tre nominerede fødevarer er hele to mejeriprodukter, nemlig Ulvedal Røget Gourmet Blue 50+ fra Ulvedal Ost, Egtved og Peters Is med blåbær fra Peters Is, Højbjerg.

Vinderne af de to Foodexpo News-priser modtager hver DKK 10.000, og de blev afsløret i forbindelse med åbningen af Foodexpo søndag den 16. marts (efter bladet gik i trykken). (Foto: Peters Is).

Kvoteafgift over 200 mio. kroner Knap 2.000 danske mælkeproducenter har produceret mere mælk end deres kvote tillader. Ved Mejeriudvalgets opgørelse den 10. marts viste det sig, at landmændenes overproduktion af mælk var rekordstor og på godt 100 mio. kg ekstra mælk, og det udløser pt. en strafafgift på 208 mio. kr.

Kvoteåret udløber som bekendt først den 31. marts.

Kort fortalt

Overenskomst for mejeriansatte Efter 20 timers forhandlinger i forligsinstitutionen blev Fødevareforbundet NNF, 3F og Dansk Mejerist Forbund den 9. marts enige med DI om en ny 3-årig overenskomst for de 4.500 medarbejdere på mejeriområdet, skriver NNF på sin hjemmeside.

Forbundssekretær i NNF, Poul Erik Faarkrog vurderer: Alt i alt er vi godt tilfredse med det her resultat. Jeg synes, vi har fået sikret vores medlemmer nogle fornuftige ting.

Han hæfter sig bl.a. ved, at alle medarbejdere - og ikke kun ansatte på natarbejde - nu får ret til helbredskontrol.

Medlemmerne får også lidt mere i lønposen. Timelønnen stiger med 6,75 kr. over de kommende 3 år, og genetillæggene stiger med 1,4% + 1,5% i 2014, 1,6 % i 2015 og 1,7% i 2016.

Den nye overenskomst indeholder også 2 ugers ekstra forældreorlov, og det ekstra pensionsbidrag i forbindelse med barselsorlov stiger, så det samlede bidrag pr. 1. juli 2014 udgør 2.040 kr./måned.

Som noget nyt har parterne bl.a. aftalt at oprette en udviklings- og samarbejdsfond. Arbejdsgiverne skal indbetale 0,05 øre/time til fonden i 2014, 0,10 øre/time i 2015 og 0,15 øre/time i 2016.

Ansvarlig sojafoder Fra i år vil Arla købe certifikater fra Round Table on Responsible Soy (RTRS) til at dække 100% af den soja, der anvendes i kvægfoder af Arlas mælkeproducenter i Danmark, Sverige, Storbritannien, Tyskland, Belgien og Luxembourg.

Dermed er Arla med til at støtte ansvarlig sojaproduktion i Sydamerika, oplyser koncernen i en pressemeddelelse. Arla tager nu dette skridt, fordi koncernen er et andelsselskab, der ønsker at vokse på bæredygtig vis - ikke kun økonomisk, men også etisk, socialt og miljømæssigt. Ambitionen er at blive førende på disse områder, og det gælder hele kæden fra jord til bord.

Generelt kritiseres industrien bag sojadyrkning for skovrydning, lemfældig brug af kemikalier til afgrøderne og ringe arbejdsforhold. Disse problemstillinger imødekommes i RTRS-standarderne.

Vitaminmælkesalget skuffer Efter en god start er salget af D-vitaminmælk nu så sløjt, at Arla ovevejer at indstille produktionen af vitaminberiget mælk.

Arla har produceret vitaminberiget mælk på Christiansfeld Mejeri siden 2011, men hvis ikke der kommer gang i salget kan konsekvensen blive, at Arla lukker helt for produktionen. - Vi må jo konstatere, at selv om der er masser af vitaminer i mælken, så er der knapt så mange vitaminer i salget, udtaler Arlas pressechef Theis Brøgger til DR.dk.

Øko-køerne danser 13. april Du kan være med til at lukke de økologiske køer ud på græs efter en lang vinter i stalden til køernes forårsfest søndag den 13. april. De økologiske malkekøer hopper og danser af glæde, når stalddøre over hele landet bliver åbnet præcis klokken 12.00.

Der er økologiske landmænd i hele Danmark, som byder velkommen til Økodag, der i år har 10 års jubilæum. Gårdene holder åbent fra kl. 10.00-14.00. På økodag.dk kan du finde en gård nær dig.

Alle øko-køer skal på græs om sommeren, mens det kun er 16 % af de ikke-økologiske køer, der kommer ud af stalden i sommerhalvåret. Økodagen gennemføres af Økologisk Landsforening og de økologiske mejerier Arla, Thise, Naturmælk, Øllingegård og Them. (Foto: Økologisk Landsforening). ■

Dødsfald Lørdag den 1. marts 2014 tabte Snorri Thorsteinsson efter længere tids sygdom kampen mod kræften.

Snorri blev født i Hofsos i Island, hvor han var den næstyngste i en søskendeflok på ni. Han blev uddannet mejeritekniker i 1979 og blev herefter ansat på Sorø Mejeri. Men hjemlandet trak og i 1980-82 arbejdede Snorri som mejeribestyrer på Neskaupstad mejeri.

I 1982 vendte Snorri tilbage til Danmark, hvor han blev ansat på Brabrand Mejeri. Allerede efter et års ansættelse søgte Snorri nye udfordringer som Assistant Production Manager på Danya Foods, hvor han blev en del af et lille team, der på bedste pionervis fik startet det nye anlæg op.

Efter en vellykket opstart i Mellemøsten tog Snorri videre til Brasilien. Her kom han til at stå for opstarten af MD

NR. 6

Foods’ nye investering - et anlæg til produktion af friskost baseret på UF teknologi. Igen var det et job, der krævede pionerånd og ukuelighed. Der skulle styr på råmælkskvalitet, vandkvalitet, anvendelse af UF under svære betingelser og ikke mindst kølekæden for den færdige Danubio friskost. Et unikt kvalitetsprodukt i Brasilien der krævede en unik indsats.

I 1989 valgte Snorri sammen med sin hustru Anne at tage hjem til Danmark, hvor sønnen Pauli kort tid efter blev født.

I de næste syv år supportede Snorri MD’s anlæg i Korea, Mellemøsten og Brasilien, når der skulle investeres, optimeres eller foretages produktudvikling.

I 1997 blev Snorri bedt om at komme til MD Foods UK, og her ventede et krævende job som Proces Manager på Leeds mejeri. Fokus var på driftsoptimeringer, men samtidig var han en god læremester for sine engelske medarbejdere. Fra 2001 blev Snorri en nøglemedarbejder i teamet, der designede og byggede Arla Foods’ mejeri i Stourton ved Leeds.

Efter 10 år i England vendte hele familien i 2007 hjem til Danmark, og Snorri fik job på Arla Foods hovedkontor i Viby, hvor opgaverne primært var at supportere koncernens mange internationale driftssteder.

Snorri var en rigtig mejerimand af den gamle skole, han havde styr på mejerilæren og en sjælden fin forståelse for opbygning af processer. Samtidig havde han den store egenskab, at uanset hvor han rejste hen, så faldt han hurtigt til i omgivelserne og satte sig ind i både sprog og kultur.

Snorri var igennem hele sin karriere et stort aktiv for Arla.

I mere end 30 år bidrog han med sin viden og indstilling til Arla’s internationale drift og investeringer. Han viste gang på gang sin evne til at begå sig lokalt, uanset hvilket land han blev sendt til.

På trods af den svære sygdom arbejdede Snorri til det sidste. Han var ferm til databehandling og kunne præsentere disse på en sådan måde, at det var nemt og overskueligt at anvende for andre. Denne kompetence blev brugt i hjemmet i Gylling og resultatet sendt til Viby, hvor det indgik i Arla’s rapportering.

Med Snorris bortgang har vi mistet en god medarbejder og kollega, der altid var i stand til at sætte sit positive præg på hverdagen. En hårdtarbejdende islænding, der forstod at nyde livet, uanset hvor han var, og hvem han var i selskab med.

Vores tanker går til Snorris hustru, Anne og deres søn, Pauli. Æret være hans minde!

Rene Fredgaard Senior Director, Arla Foods International Production

Jobskifte Tidligere bestyrer på Søvind Mejeri Finn Kristensen er skiftet til gårdmejeriet Øko Ged og Grønt. Her har han sammen med de hidtidige ejere dannet et Aps, og han har det primære ansvar for mejeri og salg af produkterne. ■
