Desert milk
The UAE
is mostly arid desert and yet we enjoy, every day, not only fresh milk but all
types of dairy products. It all comes from Almarai, founded in 1977 with 300
cows. It now has 135,000 Holstein cows in 6 superfarms near Riyasdh.The milk is
delivered from the superfarms to processing plants where it is homogenized and
then pasteurized. About two thirds of the milk is used for yoghurt and other
dairy products; the rest is bottled. Almarai has almost 3,000 vehicles that
deliver its products across the region. The company is very profitable. 50
years ago fresh milk came from goats or camels and cow’s milk came canned,
either evaporated, condensed or powdered, but fresh milk is now king.
