Gansu Sanyuan constructs new dairy plant

After Gansu Sanyuan was established, the company began construction on a new dairy processing plant, which was completed in 2017. The company uses the Sanyuan trademark to produce and sell Sanyuan brand pasteurized milk, fermented milk, sterilized milk, modulated milk, dairy beverages, and other dairy products.


At the beginning of 2018, Gansu Sanyuan built a new processing production line with a daily processing capacity of 500 tons of raw fresh milk and an annual output of 180,000 tons, covering an area of about 10 hectares, with an estimated total investment of RMB 456.8 million (USD 68.2 million).
