Al Ain Farms Group and the Belgium-based company Eurofit are pressing ahead with plans to establish a joint venture in the Abu Dhabi Global Market to produce and market camel milk in Europe under the ‘Camelait’ brand. Germany is set to serve as a hub for the entire European market; initially, UHT camel milk will be produced in glass bottles, before the range is expanded to include further value-added products.
In China, Camelait is expanding its existing business, with Zhejiang Hengsheng Holding acting as the exclusive distribution partner and Suzhou Biology Healthy Technology Co., Ltd. as the local production partner. Production will focus on long-life camel milk in packaging formats suitable for Chinese consumers.
This expansion comes against the backdrop that, according to Grand View Research, the global camel milk market is projected to reach a volume of around 24 billion US dollars by 2030 and grow at an average annual rate of 9.4 per cent.
