Each of these cows can produce between 30 and 50 liters of milk per day and this company has already created around 400 jobs ; 60 employees are full-timers.
Within the “Life Way” company, the two ministers also inaugurated two components, that of manufacturing various milk products “SeaSky” and the training center in relation to livestock “Sun Way”.
