“We are strongly looking at opportunities to export our (dairy) products as we possess the required high standards,” Ranjith Page, its managing director told a news conference late yesterday [Wednesday].
The company owns a chain of supermarkets and makes its own food products. It is owned by Ceylon Theaters Ltd., which owns and operates a chain of cinemas.
The company earlier this year set up a new unit, Cargills Dairy Foods, after it acquired a modern ice cream factory from the Sri Lankan subsidiary of Anglo-Dutch consumer goods giant Unilever.
Page, speaking at the official launch of the company’s ice cream products – “Cargills Magic” – said it will first introduce its products at nearby markets like India and the Maldives once it consolidates its local dairy operations, reported Dow Jones Newswires.

The new unit, which will contribute about 20% to the company’s bottom-line, is expected to produce other dairy products like flavored milk and yoghurt in the coming months for the local market.
