Roblin Butter Plant Closes and Refits as Cream Depot
Manco Foods of Dauphin will cease butter production at Roblin and convert the plant into a cream delivery depot. Manager Bill Zaporzan cites ongoing losses and cream quota cuts, noting shipments to Yorkton due to lack of in-house printing facilities. He argues the change will boost efficiency, lower costs, and support stronger domestic prices. The Canadian Dairy Commission projects a nine percent fall in butter sales for the year.
