Purchase of raw milk in Poland under coronavirus epidemic conditions – a proposal for organisational improvements

Summary/Abstract: Purchase of milk in the conditions of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic 2019-nCoV, causing COVID-19 disease, since the first months of 2020, has resulted in numerous changes in the organization of the processes of raw materials acquisition and distribution, their processing and sale, as well as information flows accompanying these processes. One of the areas which is to some extent subject to specific changes is the organisation of passenger and freight transport, including transport to processing plants for raw milk obtained from farmers. The solution proposed in the article was created on the basis of interviews conducted in the spring of 2020 with 25 farmers – milk producers. The solution assumes maximum limitation of direct contacts between carriers and farmers during collection of raw milk from farms, as well as improvement of the system of transferring information about the quality of raw material obtained from farms and receivables for the producer.
