Strategic Investment and Food Security: A New Stage of Growth for "Ýumak" ES
The private livestock and processing industry in Turkmenistan is reaching a new level of quality. Established 14 years ago, "Ýumak" Economic Society is transforming into a high-tech agro-industrial center. The company's latest plans prove the strategic importance of its contribution to the country's food abundance.
1. European Technology and Gene Pool Renewal The decision to purchase 1,485 heads of breeding cattle from European countries is of great economic significance. This step will provide:
- Genetic Potential: The new breeds will increase average lactation rates in local livestock.
- Infrastructure Development: Building new milking parlors and modern barns signifies additional investment in the sector.
2. Digital Livestock and Innovative Monitoring The use of Turkish "Intermik dairesense" technology to monitor the current 975 Holstein cows shows the company’s commitment to the "Smart Farm" concept.
- Automation: 24/7 automatic monitoring reduces human intervention and guarantees animal health.
- Efficiency: Producing 11–12 tons of milk daily and over 2,500 tons annually proves the economic viability of these technologies.
3. Quality and Ecology: Competitiveness Milk fat content between 4–4.5% is a high-quality indicator meeting international standards. In-house laboratory testing ensures ecological purity, making the product highly competitive against other brands.
4. Diversification: From Livestock to Fisheries "Ýumak" ES is diversifying its operations. A 30-hectare fish farm producing 35 tons of fish annually ensures the company's stability and access to different markets.
5. Future Strategy: Target of 9,000 Heads As noted by Roznazar Nuryyev, the plan to reach 9,000 heads means increasing capacity approximately 9–10 times. This will result in hundreds of new jobs and support the import substitution of dairy products.
