US EditionDARIGOLD OPENS PASCO PLANT -- THE LARGEST DAIRY PROCESSING FACILITY IN THE NORTHWEST
- Darigold Inc. Opened its new 500,000-square-foot dairy processing plant in north Pasco and processed its first milk shipment in early 2025.
- The plant's development began after a 2021 announcement and 2022 groundbreaking, with cost overruns and schedule delays driven by inflation and supply issues.
- Employing 200 people, the facility will convert milk from 100 regional dairies into butter sold domestically and milk powder shipped to 30 countries.
- Darigold invested more than $1 billion, exceeding the original $500-600 million budget by over $300 million due to rising costs of materials and interest rates.
- The plant’s operation is expected to boost regional economy, reduce trucking costs, and benefit Darigold’s 250 member dairies despite recent milk payment cuts.
