Arla Foods Ingredients is to sell lactose ingredients through the Global Dairy Trade (GDT) online auction platform for the first time as part of its bid to become the world’s leading lactose supplier.
More than 900,000 tonnes of dairy ingredients are traded each year on GDT, the majority in the form of milk powder. However, only limited volumes of lactose are currently sold through the platform. Arla Foods Ingredients intends to start selling lactose via GDT from 15 April 2015.
