What is the current situation with the agricultural sector

According to rough estimates, the full-scale war destroyed a fourth part of the agricultural sector of Ukraine, and the losses amounted to $40 billion But agriculture did not lose its priority, the emphasis on its development shifted from the eastern regions to calmer regions.

“Family Dairy Farms” is one of the first agricultural projects in Ukraine, which began to attract money from private investors for business development. Currently, the network is concentrated in the western regions of Ukraine, although there are participants in both the Poltava and Mykolaiv regions. This financing model is used more and more often. For example, such projects as Your circle is a land investment and Yak pchela have now appeared.

Before the full-scale war, thanks to the Family Dairy Farms project, farmers supplied milk to factories. He assumed all the risks, namely he was responsible for timely calculations and product quality. But the fee from dairies for raw milk currently does not allow farmers to normally maintain their farms and earn money. On average, they took milk at a price of UAH 8–10 per liter.

It was this situation that started a new direction in “Family Dairy Farms” – milk processing. Own processing allows you to double or triple the income of farmers – and it is the best option for business among small and medium-sized farms.

How dairy processing works

Work on the new direction began in May 2022, production was organized on the basis of an industrial farm in the village of Zdovbytsia, Rivne region. In November 2022, we received an operating permit from the State Food Safety Service of Ukraine (HACCP). Tessa Dairy Machinery Ltd (Israel) equipment was also purchased and workshops were prepared.

At the beginning of March 2023, the assortment consisted of 11 items: hard and salted cheeses, oil, sour cream, milk, sour milk cheese.

Products under the trademark “Family Dairy Farms” are sold in stores in the Rivne, Volyn and Khmelnytskyi regions – more than 20 pixels. You can also place an order in the online store, products will be delivered by Novaya Poshta.

The products of “Family Dairy Farms” are quite popular among consumers: project employees often have to wait several days for an order. Today, the cheese factory produces approx 9 tons of dairy products per month. But this is not enough to meet the demand. Therefore, it is planned to purchase additional equipment for the project.

In addition to their own production, the project team helped several participating farmers get money to buy equipment and open their own cheese factories. These are three cheese factories in Volyn, two in Khmelnytskyi, and the same number in Rivne. Some are currently configuring the equipment, but everything should be fully operational by the end of the year. The opening of new cheese factories is also expected.

In general, the “Family Dairy Farms” project plans to change the model of working with farmers. In particular, in places where many dairy farms plan to create cheese factories: locals could supply milk there at a higher price. They want to launch up to six such hubs by the end of the year. Currently, three cheese factories are operating, two more are in the final stage.

I joined the Family Dairy Farms investor community in July 2020. I didn’t just want to diversify my investment portfolio. I was also motivated by the opportunity to support a great idea that has a profound impact. We are changing the face of the Ukrainian countryside, improving the welfare of farmers, and developing dairy farming in Ukraine. And on top of that, I can earn passive income from my investments. Regarding the latter, I recently received my first dividend, which was a pleasant surprise.

Small family dairy farms are the heart of a village, and if they disappear, it will cause the death of many villages in Ukraine. I was born and grew up in a village. And I have pleasant memories of those times. We always had cows. I am very sad to read the current statistics about a significant reduction in the number of cows. After all, when traveling by car, I want my children to see cows grazing in the meadow.

And that is why I invested in the “Family Dairy Farms” project. I am glad that their results exceeded my expectations.
