April 6, 2005,
from a BBC report: The Welsh dairy industry
is in “deep crisis,” as one local politician
put it, after a dairy products plant in Carmarthenshire
announced it will close its doors later this year. The
plant owned by the Dairy Farmers of Britain employs
two hundred people in the rural Towy Valley. The closure,
retaliation against poor sales, is expected to have
a significant economic impact on the area. The Dairy
Farmers of Britain, whose announcement came just eight
months after obtaining the plant from Associated Co-operative
Creameries, also runs 60 distribution depots and 10
processing plants across the UK.
