DOHA: Baladna, a Qatari public shareholding company under incorporation, has announced that its subsidiary Baladna Food Industries (BFI), Qatar’s largest dairy and beverage producer, outlined its vision for contributing to a secure and sustainable food supply in Qatar. The vision comes as Baladna has announced an IPO to enable Qatari citizens to share in BFI’s success and support its transformative role in sustainability.
Following the blockade in June 2017, Baladna embarked on an extensive program of significant investment in infrastructure, plant and machinery to increase its production capacity. As a result, the company has been celebrating their significant contribution to Qatar achieving 100 percent self-sufficiency in dairy products.
With the population of Qatar expected to grow, Baladna has now outlined their vision for how the company will contribute to improving sustainability and food security in the country. The company is a key supporter of the Government’s Qatar National Food Security Programme.
Baladna has placed the health and wellness of the population at the heart of their vision for contributing to food security and sustainability. The company’s brand mission has been updated to focus on products which improve and maintain a healthy population, in which dairy products play a critical role.
Dr. Kamel Abdallah, Chief Executive Officer of Baladna commented: “Baladna has played a major role in helping Qatar achieve self-sufficiency in dairy products, and as a key supporter of the National Food Security Programme, we know there is more we can do to help support food security and sustainability in Qatar.”
