UAE – In a landmark move towards sustainability, National Dairy Farms and Masakin Dairy Farms, two esteemed entities under the Emirates Food Industries (EFI) umbrella, have partnered with Alltech to revolutionize the Middle East’s dairy industry.

This groundbreaking partnership, aptly named ‘Planet of Plenty,’ aims to introduce cutting-edge technologies for carbon footprint assessment and methane reduction, setting new standards for sustainable dairy farming in the region.

National Dairy Farms and Masakin Dairy Farms are widely recognized for their flagship milk brand, Hayatna, celebrated for its exceptional quality and freshness.

Now, these dairy giants are embarking on a transformative journey to quantify and mitigate their carbon footprints, aligning with the global imperative to combat climate change.

As industry leaders, they understand the significance of curbing greenhouse gas emissions and are eager to lead the way in sustainable practices.

Through their collaboration with Alltech, National and Masakin will gain access to a suite of advanced carbon footprint assessment technologies offered by Alltech E-CO2.

These state-of-the-art tools will provide precise measurements of their environmental impact, enabling data-driven decision-making and the establishment of ambitious targets to reduce their carbon footprints.

Additionally, the dairies will leverage Alltech’s nutritional technologies to decrease methane emissions, improve feed efficiency, and enhance milk production, thereby bolstering farm profitability.

“The solidification of many years of collaboration with Emirates Food Industries in a Planet of Plenty Partnership embodies the goals of the broader global Alltech family,” Paul McVeigh, Regional Manager of Alltech Middle East said.

“This partnership illustrates what can be accomplished in the Middle East region when companies unite toward a common objective.”

National and Masakin’s dedication to sustainability aligns seamlessly with EFI’s overarching vision of adopting eco-friendly practices across the dairy value chain.

By fostering innovation and implementing environmentally conscious initiatives, the companies aspire to set a powerful precedent for a more sustainable dairy industry in the Middle East.

Becoming official Planet of Plenty partners underscores National and Masakin’s unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship, positioning them as models for other dairy enterprises to follow.

This initiative not only reaffirms their leadership status in the dairy sector but also elevates the Hayatna brand to new heights as a symbol of premium quality, sustainable practices, and conscientious consumer choices.

By proactively reducing its carbon footprint and embracing sustainable practices, the UAE’s dairy industry is poised to play a pivotal role in advancing the country’s commitment to achieving the targets outlined in the Paris Agreement.

Guided by their shared mission, Alltech collaborates with like-minded organizations such as EFI to address high-impact challenges, develop nutritional and digital technologies, enhance farm management practices, and pioneer innovations in animal well-being and human health.
