Because of introduction of QR codes in catering establishments, the consumption of milk will be reduced - Alexey Sarafinos

‘Vaccination is an integral part of today's life, it is good that the employees of our company understand this. Therefore, we invited specialists from the district hospital to the plant to carry out on-the-job vaccination. Of course, we do not force anyone; this is a personal desire of everyone. We are learning to live in new realities, we are being vaccinated and we continue to consume healthy, delicious dairy products,’ said Alexey Sarafinos.

At the same time, he believes that because of introduction of a QR-code system in catering establishments in the capital and other regions, the consumption of dairy products by HoReCa enterprises may decrease. However, the expert noted that the delivery of ready meals will help to change the situation for the better, as a result of which the consumption of dairy products in households will increase.

In this situation, manufacturers should not lose optimism, they should look for alternative sales channels, and then the first thing that comes to mind is e - commerce. And continue to work in compliance with all sanitary and protective measures at work. I think these are temporary difficulties, and together we will cope with them,’ Alexey Sarafinos concluded.

Earlier, Sernursky Cheese Factory stated that ‘an attempt to shift responsibility for vaccination to enterprises is a failure.’
