The just-food interview – Arm Farghal, Fonterra (MEM)

As Fonterra grapples with sharply declining global prices for dairy commodities, the group has tempered its ambitions in some emerging markets – such as China and India. However, it is still forging ahead into new territory and recently announced plans to enter Egypt. In this month’s just-food interview, Katy Humphries spoke to Arm Farghal, managing director of Fonterra’s Middle Eastern unit, to find out more about the company’s plans for this strategically important region.
