Marmum Dairy to boost annual production by 2.5 million litres - March 5, 2007
Marmum Dairy Farm, a subsidiary of Dubai Investments Industries, wholly owned by Dubai Investments, is aiming to increase its milk production by 2.5 million litres in 2007 by importing 300 registered heifers from Australia. The move comes as increased commodity prices compel the Dairy Industry to offset high food costs by investing in cows with higher average milk production.
“The dairy industry has been under tremendous pressure due to high commodity prices world wide, so Marmum has invested in cows with higher average milk production to offset the high feed costs. We were able to buy the replacement heifers at competitive prices from top quality dairy farms, as Australian Dairies are selling off their stock due to the worst drought in 100 years,” said Johann Wasserman, General Manager, Marmum.
