A project for the construction of the
buildings, the finishing and the equipping
of the Cheese making plant.

Summers Nekretnine / Real Estate is offering
a unique opportunity for investing in the
Croatian cheese industry. This remarkable
project offers infinite opportunities to
break into the profitable market of
traditional cheese production and sales. It
also has the added benefit of obtaining
grants from the European Agricultural Fund
(EAFRD), therefore, very realistically
expected return on investment in the amount
of 50% of total investments in the
documentation, construction, furnishing and
equipping of the building.

The project is in a prime location in
Promina which is located 20 km north-east of
Šibenik The Šibenik-Knin County which is
situated in the south of Croatia, in the
central part of northern Dalmatia. The total
area of the county is 5670 km2 and is close
to the national parks, Krka and Kornati,
therefore ensuring thousands of tourists
passing through this area.

The uniqueness of this county is the
valuable cultural and historical heritage.
Due to the quality, size and variety of its
monuments and their connection to the
Mediterranean and European heritage, the
historical heritage of the Sibenik-Knin
County has a great importance.

Tourism: The mild climate, attractive and
rugged coastline (285 islands), many
cultural and historical monuments (the
Cathedral of St. Jacob - UNESCO monument),
numerous and preserved natural beauties
(national parks Krka and Kornati, nature
parks Velebit and Vrana, nature monuments
Stara Straža/Old Guard and Cetina
Vrelo/Cetina Wellhead, as well as seven
significant landscapes) have defined the
county as a famous tourist destination. On
the European and world tourist market
Šibenik – Knin County has been positioned as
a leading sailing destination in the
Adriatic as well as in and the wider
Mediterranean region, due to its coast which
is the most indented in the Croatian part of
the Adriatic. Tourists, from more than 80
countries visit Croatia. Tourism in Croatia
is a major industry in Croatia. In 2012,
Croatia had 11.8 million tourist visitors
and in 2013 over 14 million tourists and
73.25 million nights, a record number of
visitors. Croatia aims to double these
numbers by 2020 with national strategy to
bring in 17.5 million foreign tourist and
revenue from tourism exceeding $17 billion.

Transport infrastructure: Road transport -
A1 highway passes through the county, and
there are 4 highway entrances. Maritime
transport – The port of Sibenik is one of
the oldest and best-protected harbours on
the Adriatic coast of Croatia. Railway
transport – The length of the international
terminal railroad in the county totals 149
294 km and the length of the regional
railway is 26 190 km. Air Traffic - The
distance from Šibenik to the airport of
Split is 60 km and about 70 km to Zadar
airport.

The Krka National Park is located entirely
within the territory of Šibenik-Knin County
and encompasses an area of 109 square
kilometers along the Krka River. Kornati is
the biggest archipelago in the Adriatic
Sea...It consist of 89 islands, islets,
cliffs and rocks, on area of 230 km2. It is
named after the largest island, Kornat. In
the National Park Kornati there are around
30 piers and about 20 places where guests
can try wonderful seafood and traditional
cuisine.

The Croatian consumers are very loyal to the
domestic standard types of cheese in spite
of the availability of imported cheese and
premium products. The sales of cheese have
followed the turbulence of the economy both
in volume and value terms. The Croatian
cheese production and market is relatively
small but in spite of this it has attracted
a lot of interest from foreign dairy
companies. The EU membership is the major
reason, and the possibilities to get further
access to the dairy market. This is also
expected to have a positive effect on the
cheese market and the future prospects from
2010 to 2015 are:

• The production will increase by 4,000 MT
but this is only to regain the level before
the GFC.

• The export remains stable at a very level
but the import will increase by 8,000 MT

Especially due to their EU membership.

• The consumption will soar in line with the
economic recovery with 10,000 MT.

market report)

General information about the project and
the construction of the buildings, the
finishes and the equipping of the Cheese
making plant.

The land available for constructing cheese
factory is 6.000 m2.
There is a possibility of purchasing more
land next to the planned project which can
be used for another factory (for instance
whey powder factory) 50.000 m2 (All
infrastructure is present).
Two possibilities: use present (done)
project for cheesemaking (Tulum and others)
or to adapt building to be for whey
production. Or use bigger land for new
projects.

The task of the project is the construction,
furnishing and equipping of the cheese dairy
with a tasting shop. Targeted product range
will be semi-soft cheese, cheese dried in an
animal sack (lambskin), and soft cheese in
type škripavac or feta, cream with 30% milk
fat and milk whey.
The building will have direct access to
public roads. The terrain is flat and
available on the plot is the necessary
infrastructure as follows: electricity,
drinking water from the public water supply
and telephone. At the location in there is
no public sewer system, a septic tank would
need to be dug with a sufficient volume (see
daily water consumption). As an energy
source to supply the facility, solar panels
from the roof and gas propane-butane will be
used.

Capacity and types of milk: 10,000 L per
shift (8 hours, in phase I), or 20,000
litres of milk in two shifts (phase II),
cow, sheep and goat milk. In-depth
interviews were conducted with local,
potential, future farmers (milk producers),
who showed willingness to cooperate with the
future cheese factory and will have
sufficient production resources (farmland
and accommodation for dairy animals). Within
a radius of 15-20 km there are a sufficient
number of farms that can meet the target
capacity of the cheese dairy, for all three
types of milk.
