At the beginning of the 1990’s, the Trosic family purchased milk from Trstenik farmers and sold it to a large dairy in the city of Kraljevo. In 2000, when they could no longer sell their milk in Kraljevo due to travel restrictions, fuel shortages, and other economic issues, the Trosic’s started their own dairy and began to produce pasteurized milk, yogurt, sour milk, and cheese.

Through a USAID grant, the Trosic family acquired a homogenizer and two duplicators which expanded the dairy’s processing capacity and enabled them to buy milk from 100 additional families. The project gives 100 dairy farmers new markets for their milk and this would create new employment.

Currently, the Trosic dairy buys milk from 350 farmers in Trstenik and sells its products in Trstenik and Vrnjcka Banja. Milk processing has increased from 3000 to 3500 liters of milk per day.
