Pro-regime media sources revealed that the Dairy and Cheese Association had suffered heavy losses, due to the electrical rationing in the Assad regime-controlled areas, which sometimes exceeds 5 hours for an hour.

Ahmed Al-Sawas, a member of the Board of Directors of the Craft Society of Dairy and Cheese, said that the collective suffers great losses as a result of the long hours of rationing the electric current, as the percentage of losses reached 25%.

Al-Sawas added that most of the craftsmen working in the cheese and dairy sector cannot afford generators to control losses, and because of this, about 10% of workers in the sector were out of service.

He added that milk is a basic and indispensable substance, pointing out that when the craftsman dilutes the milk for the facility, this means that he is out of service and the milk went to another facility.

He explained that most craftsmen at the present time are forced to stop their work or reduce their production by 50% in order to remedy the current situation.

He concluded his speech by saying that most families consume their needs of milk and cheese on a daily basis and avoid buying large quantities because they need to be stored for more than two days, indicating that the livestock breeder suffers from the problem of high feed prices, which makes him have to sell his animals to feed the rest of the cows he has.

It is worth noting that most of the areas under the control of the Assad regime are experiencing a large technical supply of electricity, and the government of the Assad regime attributes the reason for the rationing of electricity to the decrease in the volume of gas supplies, in conjunction with the current severe heat wave.
