Chobani Announcement and What It Could Mean for Dairy Producers

Thanks to the 100+ people who joined us for yesterday’s “All Things Dairy” conference call! The recording is now available.

With the recent announcement of Chobani establishing its first dairy manufacturing operation in Pennsylvania, there has been a lot of excitement and conversation across the industry. During the call, those involved in the Chobani project, including individuals from Chobani and the Commonwealth, answered your most pressing questions. They shared what the announcement could mean for producers and for the broader infrastructure across Pennsylvania. Here are some of the questions they answered on the call: 

• When will the operation commence? What will initial production be?
• Increased demand is one thing, but will it also lead to increased prices paid to dairy farmers?
• Do you envision incentive programs for increasing protein components?
• What is the message to the industry on how they can produce more milk for this plant?
