declining milk consumption, large investment needs and generally weak profitability have led Norrmejerier to consider closing its dairy. 61 people at the dairy in Luleå may be affected if the plans become reality.
But farmers will not be negatively affected, according to the company. Rather, the CEO believes that the closure can strengthen farmers. This is a basic prerequisite for us to have dairy farmers in Norrbotten, says Gerhard Bley, CEO of NorrMejerier. In the video you hear dairy farmer Ulla's views on the closure plans of the dairy.
