Dairy factory with 80-year-old Elmhurst Dairy closes next month because of falling demand


After 80 years of New York's dairy factory Elmhurst Dairy in Jamaica in the Queens area will be closed on October 30 due to falling demand. Dairy plant - the last in the city - was opened, according to executive director Henry Schwartz, "when it was economically feasible."

Schwartz said that in recent years the production is expensive for the company, and "there is no way to continue production without losses." plant-based milk market blossomed and such traditional dairy companies like Ben & amp; Jerry's took a modern approach, offering vegan alternatives. For the first time in the history of New York is not a single plant for bottling and packaging of animal milk.
