Collaboration marks the Middle East region’s first ‘Planet of Plenty’ Partnership
National Dairy and Masakin Dairy, two prominent entities under Emirates Food Industries, have announced their groundbreaking collaboration with Alltech, a global leader in animal nutrition and sustainability solutions.
This partnership marks a significant milestone in the dairy industry, as the companies aim to revolutionise carbon footprint benchmarking and reduction efforts while introducing the innovative methane-reducing technology, Agolin in the Middle East.
Under the umbrella of Emirates Food Industries, the company has launched its flagship food and beverages brand, Hayatna, which has garnered widespread acclaim for its quality and freshness. Now, the two dairy giants are expanding their commitment to sustainability by embarking on a transformative journey to measure and mitigate their carbon footprints.
Curbing greenhouse gases
“As industry leaders, National and Masakin Dairy recognise the importance of actively curbing greenhouse gas emissions and setting new sustainability benchmarks,” stated Gerald Kiernan, General Manager, National and Masakin Dairy Farms.
Through their collaboration with Alltech, a pioneering force in sustainable agriculture and nutrition, National and Masakin Dairy will have access to cutting-edge carbon footprint benchmarking technologies, according to a corporate press communication.
The innovative tools will provide precise measurements of their environmental impact, enabling the companies to make data-driven decisions and set ambitious targets for reducing their carbon footprints.
Eco friendly initiatives
“By fostering innovation and implementing eco-friendly initiatives, the companies aim to pave the way for a more sustainable dairy industry in the Middle East,” commented Wasfi Kaso, CEO, Emirates Food Industries.
A significant breakthrough in this partnership lies in adopting Alltech’s methane-reducing technology. Notably, National and Masakin Dairy will become the first-ever company in the Middle East to implement this revolutionary technology.
“The solidification of many years of collaboration with Emirates Food Industries in a Planet of Plenty Partnership represents the goals of the wider global Alltech family. This partnership illustrates what is possible in the Middle East Region when companies join forces toward a single goal,” observed Paul McVeigh, Regional Manager, Alltech Middle East.
