Dubai-based region manager for the company’s consumer products unit Amr Farghal has confirmed to just-food that Fonterra has set its eyes on Egypt’s 80m population.


It is currently working on the product line-up for the Egyptian market, which will be supplied by products sourced from the company’s Saudi base.
