If Russia does not buy milk, Belarus will turn it into alcohol

The director of the Institute of meat and milk industry Alyaksei Melyashenya has informed ERB that Belarus has equipment necessary for processing the milk Russia is refusing to buy. The surplus of milk can be turned into casein that is well imported now or it can be dried – dried milk can be stored for up to 2 years. And this isn’t the limit – buttermilk can even be turned into alcohol, says Alyalksei Melyashenya.

Alyaksei Melyashchenya: “Buttermilk can be used to produce alcohol.But it is a bit more expensive than making it from grain”.

However, the director of the Institute of meat and milk industry  hopes that it will be possible to settle the problem with Russia and to make alcohol with the help of the usual technology using grain.
