Mljekara PAĐENI d.o.o.

PAJENI Dairy was established in 1999 and the initial capacity amounted to a modest 130 liters per day. Today it is a modernly equipped dairy with a daily processing capacity of up to 50,000 liters of fresh milk, which is purchased from around 950 co-operatives from the area of 16 municipalities of Herzegovina, Romania and Podrinje. Dairy located in a natural setting, surrounded by unspoilt nature, on a hilly and mountainous area of approximately 650 m above sea level. Raw milk processed in dairy farms was produced in large part (over 90%) by livestock grazing on the pastures of the Herzegovina Karst where there are many medicinal herbs. Following trends in the development of dairy farmers, PAJENI is continuously modernizing production lines and developing new products to meet the needs of consumers. In order to ensure the quality of products, the quality of the basic raw material is constantly monitored, as well as the course of the entire technological process, and the organoleptic, chemical and microbiological examination of all finished products is carried out. In 2016 they were granted a license to export products to the countries of the European Union. The Dairy is a part of the project FARMA II supported by USAID and Government of Sweden. Direct selling the product through the fresh chains supermarkets (for example Labas); creating community of consumers, on-line sales (e-shop). The results of Dairy can be implemented by practitioners, as an exapmle of easy-to-apply approach in the simular rural areas. http://www.padjeni.com/
