Scheduled to be commissioned in June, Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) will be importing milk powder for its pasteurised milk  processing plant until this country has an “organized dairy sector”, Chairman Komal Samaroo says.

“We are not set up for local milk because there isn’t an organized dairy sector here in Guyana, so no, we will not be using local cow’s milk. We will import the reconstituted milk for that,” Samaroo told Stabroek News when asked for an update on the project.
