Abbott and Fonterra Looking to Expand Dairy Production in China

www.foodnavigator-asia.com: July 14, 2014







The demand of the middle-class in China for dairy products such as cheese and milk, is one of the reasons Abbott and Fonterra have formed a partnership to invest USD $300 million towards dairy farms. Their plan is to capitalize on both companies’ experiences working in business development and the milk industry and to provide safe products for Chinese consumers. FoodNavigator Asia notes that this project could result in the creation of up to 5 dairy farms producing a total maximum of 160 million liters per year. If Chinese regulators approve Abbott and Fonterra’s plans, the dairy plants could be producing as early as 2017.
