The complex's specialist Mekan Minyasov said the demand for pasteurized goat milk is now very high, adding that “these products, packaged in 1 liter containers, have gained great popularity among the population.”
Minyasov added that the company’s cheeses of Paýtagt and Dilim brands, 400-gram sour cream and suzma, and kefir packaged in 1-liter and 0.5-liter containers are in high demand among customers.
