[DEMO] Baalbek Dairy Cooperative Upgrade

Delivery status: Active

A small dairy cooperative in the Baalbek-Hermel region processes milk from roughly 40 local herding families. Ageing equipment limits output and food-safety compliance, capping household income at a fraction of the region's potential. This project funds cold-storage and pasteurization upgrades so the cooperative can meet retail safety standards and reach new markets in Beirut.

The need

Outdated processing equipment limits the cooperative's output and blocks access to retail-grade safety certification.

Proposed solution

Install modern cold-storage and pasteurization equipment, and train cooperative staff on food-safety compliance.

Objectives

Increase processed volume by 60% and achieve retail food-safety certification within 12 months.

Expected outcomes

Higher, more stable household income for member families and new retail distribution contracts in Beirut.

Target beneficiaries

Approximately 40 herding families supplying the cooperative, plus 6 cooperative staff.
