Israeli dairy herd firm wins huge Belarusian tender

The Israeli dairy herd management firm AfiMilk has won a 12 million-euro tender with the Belarusian government to provide its advanced milking parlors to locations around the Eastern European country.

In light of a recent Russian decision to largely cease purchasing Belarusian dairy products, the smaller country’s government decided that its dairy products needed to expand outside of the Russian market – which accounted for 95 percent of its dairy exports – and bring its dairy systems up to European standards, according to AfiMilk.
