When we went, this was actually over 3 years ago now, we were the first non 'expert' westerns to be there. Now the entire area has exploded in size, across the street now is a Coca Cola bottling plant, there are multiple datacenters and call centers in construction. Sadly it looks like the days of seeing the shepherds tending their herds of sheep and cows are over, I only saw one last month, prior I had seen dozens. the old villages where they cows slept in the abandoned homes, are all piles of rubble or new strip malls. Housing development everywhere. I know there are people there and progress if good, but seeing some of the 'old ways' and even a couple authentic yurts before, was quite nice.

not to get too far off topic!









it goes on and on, there are multiple buildings like this, very impressive facility, and only a handful of people there but milk being put into tetrapak continually! Mostly it is run by the robots you can see in the one larger picture here.
They also have some non tetrapak milk for the local area, very good, a lot better in fact as it is not requiring UHT. However they mostly do UHT, as vast majority is UHT shelf safe milk due to the lack of long term old storage, or putting priority to the yogurts and other snacks.
