Natural gas shortage will affect milk sterilization, French yogurt factory or discontinued production

Due to the shortage of natural gas in winter, the French yogurt industry may be hit hard. For most yogurt manufacturers, the interruption of natural gas supply means that it cannot be produced.

Agence France -Presse on the 11th quoted Patrick Farcinier, chairman of the French dairy manufacturer federation and a yogurt factory director of the southeast of Paris: "We have been told that natural gas supply may be interrupted this winter, For example, the situation is very serious. "

There are 22 member manufacturers of French dairy manufacturers. The yogurt production of these manufacturers accounts for 70%of the total yogurt output of France.

The French love yogurt, and it takes a lot of energy to make yogurt. Farcinier said that if natural gas is lacking, it will not be possible to sterilize milk to milk, and manufacturers cannot receive milk. In this way, "dairy farmers will be forced to pour milk."

Farcinier was worried that this industry was originally impacted by the new crown epidemic. The price of energy, packaging and fruits has recently soared by 20%. If natural gas is disconnected again, yogurt manufacturers may not survive.

The European Union countries such as France have long relied on Russian energy supply. Since the upgrade of the Ukraine crisis, the European Union and the United States have imposed multiple rounds of sanctions against Russia, but its anti -phase effect has embarrassed the EU situation. Russia's Natural Gas Industry Co., Ltd. released the news earlier and had suspended the supply of natural gas to the major French energy supplier Angji Group.

French Prime Minister Elizabeth Borne said at the end of last month that the possibility of implementing energy quantitative distribution this winter does not rule out. She urged enterprises to take measures to reduce energy consumption.
