Vietnam's TH Group inaugurates milk cow farm in Russia's Moscow oblast

 

 

The first phase a milk cow farm controlled by Vietnam's TH Group was inaugurated on October 13 in Volokolamsk district, Russia's Moscow oblast.

 

The farm with a scale of 6,000 milk cows is part of the TH Group's high-tech livestock and milk processing complex project.

 

During the inauguration ceremony, Vietnamese Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien described the high-yield dairy farm project as a bright spot in cooperation with Russia.

 

To create a wave of bilateral investments through such models, the minister proposed that Russia faciliates the project's implementation and promptly remove obstacles.

 

Governor of Moscow Oblast Andrey Vorobyev told media that the farm has a strong staff with young agriculture-savvy engineers and breeders. He said he believes the farm will increase in scale in the following stages.

 

The building of the dairy farm is divided into two phases. As of August 1, the farm's herd reached nearly 2,800 dairy cows, including close to 1,200 cows producing milk with a daily yield of 40 litres per cow, said to be the highest in Russia.

 

With the inauguration of the first phase, TH Group completed the construction and put into operation more than 20 facilities and systems. In the first seven months of 2023, the farm's milk production was nearly 10,000 tonnes.

 

Under an agreement with the Moscow oblast administration, the farm received a total of 10,517ha of land for cultivation and livestock raising.

 

Currently, TH Group has been handed over nearly 8,000ha of land, of which more than 5,000ha are under cultivation.

 

The farm has a total investment of US$190 million with a total herd of 24,000 cows, including 12,000 dairy types. Under the project, two TH Group farms in Volokolamsk and Shatura districts are expected to supply 131 million tonnes of milk a year.
