Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) announces the arrival of the first shipment of breeding cattle for its US$30 million dairy project at Moblissa, along the Soesdyke/Linden Highway. Both outlets report that DDL is importing high-yield milking cows from the United States as part of what it describes as an accelerated expansion of dairy production in Guyana. The Guyana Chronicle specifies that the first batch consists of 89 pregnant heifers. It says the shipment lands at Cheddi Jagan International Airport at about 03:30hrs aboard a specialised Amerijet cargo flight. INews Guyana similarly describes the arrival of the first shipment and highlights the significance of the delivery for the Moblissa farm project, noting the cows are sourced from the United States.
The reports present the delivery as the initial stage of implementing the Moblissa dairy initiative, with DDL positioning the shipment as a key step toward the project’s broader aim of increasing dairy capacity.
