The move by Arla is in line with the company’s business strategy, Good Growth 2020, which aims to develop new markets for Arla’s products outside the EU to improve the milk price for the 11,200 farmer-owners who own the company.
Arla Foods, Basking Ridge, N.J., is adding another market to its Sub-Saharan Africa business region by establishing a new sales and packaging facility in Ghana.
The new Arla-owned subsidiary, Arla Foods Ltd., will be based in Accra, Ghana, and will supply products from its Dano range also sold in Nigeria, including powdered milk, butter and cheese from Arla and Lurpak brands.
