“The robust performance from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand was attributed to effective promotional and trade management activities which resulted in higher consumer off-take,” F&N said.
Last month, F&N secured a licensing deal with Nestle to manufacture and distribute the Carnation, Bear Brand, Bear Brand Gold, Ideal Milk and Milkmaid products in ASEAN countries.
The licences are for a period of 11 years and seven months, with a right to extend for a term of ten years until the end of January 2037. The agreement extends the terms of the licensing deal struck in 2007 when F&N acquired Nestle’s canned, UHT and fresh dairy business in Thailand.
