The meat and dairy industry of the Gomel region consists of 7 milk processing plants, 3 meat processing plants, 2 trading houses united in the Gomel Meat and Dairy Company Holding.

In a shift, the enterprises of the association are able to produce up to 70 tons of butter, 650 tons of whole milk products, 10 tons of hard cheeses, 200 tubes. canned milk, 6 tons of SCM, 7 tons of casein.
The volume of production of meat products per day is: sausages - 118 tons; semi-finished products - 30 tons; canned meat - 10 tubes.
The sale of meat and dairy products to the domestic market is carried out through company trading, own trading houses, a distribution network and by concluding direct contracts.
98% of technical casein sold by the region’s enterprises, more than 60% of sold animal oil, 65% of dried milk, 50% of hard cheeses, 72% of canned milk, and meat products are exported for more than 35%.
