An expanded scheme for Cairo and other major centres of population was the subject of a feasibility study which envisaged a plant producing 8000 litres of UHT milk per hour from skim milk powder with 6 percent of the productive capacity of the plant diverted to the manufacture of ice cream and yogurt. The project purported to show that the reconstituted milk, brought up to the required butter fat content, could be produced at a price more than competitive with fresh milk locally produced or imported UHT milk would be available to millions of people at a price they could afford, in a market which is somewhat short of reasonably priced dairy products.
