Prospects
Initially, 100,000 litres of milk per day will
be processed or concentrated from April
2022 onwards, and the milk intake will
then increase to 300,000 litres per day by
autumn. There will be 40 to 45 employees.
In the future, the plant can be expanded to
produce up to 35,000 t of cheese.
Mona Dairy plans to sell 50% of its
production in the UK, the other half on
the European mainland. The company is
to decide on the brand name later in the
year. Whey utilisation is already secured,
Mona Dairy does not use any
fossil energy sources, but works
100% with regenerative energy
as Mona Dairy is located adjacent to the
Dutch feed producer Liprovit. This company
Mona Dairy has already filed for
expansion to increase production
from 7,800 tons to 18,000 tons
per annum converting 150m litres

concentrates whey (60% dry matter)
there, which is then processed in Kampen,
Holland.
In addition to its energy self-sufficiency,
Mona Dairy has another advantage: most
of the milk comes from pasture farming,
with natural seasonality similar to that in
Ireland. All in all, Akkerman and his partners
now expect a much better utilisation
of the milk.
