A dairy platform designed for Syria, benchmarked to the world.
This dossier presents a comprehensive analysis for building an integrated milk powder plant based on a spray-drying tower, with a daily intake of 80,000 L of raw whole milk. It covers every production stage — from reception to final packing — in full alignment with Codex Alimentarius, ISO 22000 and HACCP.
A full family of powders and derivatives, Codex-grade.
The plant is designed to produce WMP, SMP, Instant, IMF, FFMP and whey powder as core outputs, with ghee and butter monetising surplus cream. Every specification is aligned to Codex Alimentarius and EU compositional requirements.
- 01Deliver Codex-grade WMP & SMP at industrial scale from year 1.
- 02Expand to IMF, Instant and FFMP in year 2 without re-engineering the tower.
- 03Monetise the 6,060 kg/day cream stream via ghee, then butter.
- 04Source direct from Chinese OEMs to hold CAPEX at USD 5–8 M.
- 05Full farm-to-pack traceability via GS1-128 and SCADA batch records.
Verified sourcing changed everything.
Field-verified pricing from Chinese OEMs (Changzhou Jinqiao, Shanghai Beyond, Shanghai Jimei) sets FOB Shanghai equipment at USD 2.16–3.55 M. With freight, duties, civil works, install, utilities and working capital the all-in CAPEX lands at USD 4.2–7.7 M — not USD 18–30 M as European-vendor estimates suggest.
At 60% SMP / 40% WMP plus the cream stream, annual revenue reaches USD 43.19 M, EBITDA USD 20.99 M (48.6% margin) and net profit USD 15.85–16.21 M after tax — IRR 22–28%, NPV at 18% USD 25–35 M, payback 4.5–6 years.
The cream stream (6,060 kg/day, 2,212 t/yr) is a separate profit centre: ghee production plus liquid-cream sales scored highest across 7 evaluated options — USD 450 k CAPEX for USD 5–6 M annual profit.
