Fonterra Future Dairy’s new dairy brand Dreamery plans to roll out its products across Western India this week.
According to the company statement, Dreamery under Fonterra Future Group JV will sell Dahi, UHT Toned Milk, Chocolate and Strawberry Milkshake. It will expand its initial offerings with more products over the next 6 to 12 months. Fonterra-Future will be ‘extending its product offering to include a full range of value-added consumer and foodservice dairy products.’
Dreamery plans to roll out its products across Western India this week. Also, the first products will be available on retail shelves in cities including Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, and Surat, claims a report.
“If you look at our retail business, 8-10 percent sales of Future Consumer come from dairy products. It is a very important category for us. We’ve a target of selling 60-70 percent volume from our own brands and without dairy, we can’t achieve that,” Kishore Biyani, Vice Chairman of Future Consumer and CEO of Future Group was quoted as saying in a report.
Noting that there is an unmet demand for dairy products, Biyani said this JV will be the most valuable asset we create for us in the long term wherein we will be creating niche products which cannot be compared with Amul.
“As we move forward, we will continue to evolve our portfolio with products that will deliver superior quality, taste, and nutrition across the Dreamery product range,” said Ishmeet Singh, CEO, Fonterra Future Dairy said in a report.
According to a media report, Fonterra Future Dairy would be focusing more on the value-added segment that is expected to grow 50 per cent faster than the dairy sector and so is milk intake which is expected to rise 42 per cent from 196 billion litres now to 278 billion litres over the next seven years.
The company plans to launch a new product every quarter under the brand.
