28 Oct 2019 --- In a bid to support the increasing demands for dairy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, Arla Foods has invested an estimated €50 million (US$55 million) in a cheese production site in Bahrain. The majority of Arla’s products sold in the region will now be produced locally at the site in Manama, which will enable the company to further expand its branded cheese production. By 2025, Arla expects to increase annual production in Bahrain to more than 100,000 tons under its Puck, Arla, Dano, Kraft and Private Label brands.
