Summary
The Badea family are the owners of a dairy processing plant which continues a long tradition of cheese production in the Brăduleț commune located at the foot of the Southern Carpathians. The family used financial support from the 2014-2020 Rural Development Programme to modernise and expand the production capacity of the plant. In addition, the family invested in a merchandise management software to keep track of orders and store data according to season, customer preferences and location.
Results
The investment to the dairy processing plant increased production capacity by 25% and sales by 43%.
The company’s processing capacity of fresh and acidophilic products has risen from 4 700 litres to 6 800 litres (an increase of approximately 45%).
The company’s overall cheese processing capacity has risen from 7 550 litres to 8 525 litres (an increase of approximately 13%).
Thanks to the project, five new jobs were created.
