“Sometimes, a farmer milks the cow and will wait for two hours until he
will transport the milk to the [milk] collection centre. The milk is hot
such as at 35 degrees, [and] the climate is hot. So, the milk is
fermenting, and every 20 minutes, the number of germs in the milk
doubles, and the quality of milk is deteriorating,” he said as he
explains an instance of impact of lack of effective cooling system to
the milk.
The remedy to the problem...is very quick
cooling, and to do this, you need to have cold system just near the
farm, or at the farm itself.
“...we have some new equipment that
are actually very low energy consuming, and they can be run easily by
solar or normal single-phase electric power...with
this equipment, you can cool the milk very, very quickly, just near the
cow, so that each farmer will become like a milk hub, and all these
milk hubs [farmers] will deliver the cold milk to the milk [collection]
centres.”
