Global Dairy Top-20

Global Dairy Top-20: "Brazil is tipped for the Top-20 next year, assuming successful completion of the new conglomerate made up of Itamb�, Centro Leche, Confepar, Mineiras Cemil and Mines Milk. Mexico’s Grupo Lala is also bubbling under, following its acquisition of National Dairy Holdings last year.

Fragmentation in the German market and the slow pace of consolidation between Nordmilch and Humana Milchunion has knocked Germany out of the Top-20 entirely this year. Bel, the French producer of ‘La Vache qui rit’ came in at number 19 but Mark Voorbergen expects it may lose its position once compatriots Entremont and Sodiaal complete their merger.

Although Japanese dairy consumption has probably reached its peak at around 60 litres per person per year, Meiji Dairies (11) and Morinaga (14) were able to improve their position over competitors thanks to the relatively stable yen and local prices."
