2023 will be a difficult year, for the dairy industry as well. How do you intend to face it?

The past year has brought negative phenomena that we will probably face in the coming years. High inflation, which has affected the whole world, portends many difficulties – also in the dairy industry. Mlekpol’s strength is multi-directional production, capable of being dynamically adapted to the needs of the market and the customer. We believe this flexibility will allow the Cooperative to survive the hardest times. If the situation improves and the market returns to the dynamics we have known, there are chances that the dairy industry will not suffer and dairy producers will still be interested in development of their farms.

In 2022, SM Mlekpol continued the previously launched investments, including pro-ecological ones. How important does the Cooperative find this aspect of development?

Systematic investment ensures Mlekpol’s development and efficient operation. The investments mainly relate to the implementation of milk processing technologies. They give, apart from innovative products and technical solutions, environmental benefits, very important to the Cooperative. Technical infrastructure and modern machinery are also pro-ecological investments that enable improvement of work efficiency and lower energy consumption. Individual plants modernize their sewage treatment units and implement cogeneration systems. Our business partners also appreciate our measures aimed at using environmentally friendly product packages compliant with the ideas of sustainable development.
