Danone acquired a 40% stake in Brookside last July.

"With Brookside, Danone thus has a strong base to develop dairy products in east Africa. Brookside operates a unique distribution platform enabling a daily access to over 200,000 outlets; the company manages the largest milk collection network in East Africa, with 140,000 farmers in the region," it said.
