“Pantomarket Stočar” expands its meat and dairy export capacity

Belgrade, Jan. 26, 2010 (Serbia Today) - Čačak-based company “Pantomarket Stočar” invested 1.3m EUR in a new slaughterhouse and a small dairy last year, according to CEO Slavko Đalović, as reported in Politika. Able to process 100 cattle or 150 pigs a day according to HACCAP standards, the new slaughterhouse was built in the location of Čačak`s old slaughterhouse, next to the company’s farm in Mrčajevci. The acquired dairy in Zdravčići near Požega has a daily capacity of 1,000 liters of milk for cheese and ice cream.

In 2009 Pantomarket Stočar exported 8.0m EUR worth of meat to Montenegro and another EUR 0.3m of high quality beef to Italy. With only 77 employees the company ranks second in the value of exports from the Čačak region. The company’s capacity is 1,800 heads of cattle per round. “Last year we grew 3,000 heads of cattle, while 3,600 calves were grown in 2008. Our plan is to reach 5,000 heads of cattle per year,” said Đalović.
