Tnuva, Israel’s largest dairy company, will construct a whey processing
plant at an investment of US$34m. The new plant, to be constructed in cooperation
with New Zealand-based FSG and Penhold of Canada, will be the first
of its kind in the Middle East, and one of the largest in the world. FSG is one
of the world’s leading companies for the production and marketing of whey.

Tnuva said the new plant will process annually 200,000 cubic metres of whey as
nutritional supplements and for the pharmaceutical industry, with sales estimated
at US$10m during the first year of production. In addition, the company said that
70% of its production volume, or about 10,000 tonnes, is slated for export.
