“Cygnet’s dairy branch marks the end of the year with record numbers. Compared to last year, milk yield was significantly increased and the total figures this year amounted to 5.5 million litres of milk,” the company informed on its Facebook page.

The uprise in production resulted from the increased productivity of cattle. This represents Cygnet Agrocompany’s strategy.
