The UAE is the second largest producer of milk and dairy products in the GCC region after Saudi Arabia
UAE based National Food Products Company (NFPC) is marking ‘World Milk Day’ with the introduction of new dairy products under its Lacnor brand, which meet the growing consumer trend for new and experimental tastes.
The UAE is the second largest producer of milk and dairy products in the GCC region after Saudi Arabia.
The country’s dairy products market stood at US$ 1.8bn in 2018 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 7%, to surpass US$ 2.6bn on by 2024.
NFPC has been operating for almost five decades in the diary category in the UAE, while also providing products to 44 regular and 14 tactical countries. The company provides its products under the Lacnor and Gulf & Safa brands through the nation’s leading supermarket chains, as well as via its online delivery service, Oasis Direct.
World Milk Day was established by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations twenty years ago to recognize the importance of milk as a global food, and to celebrate the dairy sector.
”Here in the UAE, the dairy industry continues to flourish, due to an increasing population fueled by a buoyant tourism market,” remarked Iqbal Hamzah, Group CEO, NFPC.
