Future outlook

The business environment remains fragile as rising inflation and currency devaluation continue to pressure profitability. However, several optimization initiatives are being taken to improve efficiencies and manage inflation.

It has vowed to continue to partner with the Pakistan Dairy Association (PDA) and the Government on various initiatives to educate the consumers on the potential health hazards of loose milk consumption and reinforce the positive characteristics of safe packaged milk.

The business will continue to invest in people, processes, and projects to deliver unparalleled value and superlative quality, driven by innovation and technology.

This will strengthen the company’s brand equity and enable it to be the preferred choice for consumers’ dairy needs and expand its profit accretive portfolio to leverage margins.
