At the 8th of October 2018, the latest IFCN Dairy Report 2018 has been published. The report has become a guideline publication for researchers and companies along the whole dairy chain to understand the dairy world.
The data and insights can build the backbone for a comprehensive, holistic analysis and a solid fact base for discussions and strategic decisions.
In 2018, the IFCN Dairy Report focuses on the dairy value chain, covering 115 country profiles representing 98% of total global milk production. On the farm level, 177 typical farm types of 53 countries have been analysed. For the first time, fundamental indicators to asses sustainability on economic, social and environmental issues are monitored.
Både i Sverige och utanför Sverige så behövs ökad livsmedelsproduktion samtidigt som denna produktion behöver bli mer klimatvänlig. I Arlas strategi för hållbar mjölkproduktion finns målsättningen att bli än mer hållbar och mindre klimatbelastande. För att nå detta mål så behövs forskning som leder till nya metoder och lösningar. Arla satsar därför fyra miljoner kronor varje år fram till år 2022 på forskningsresurser i ett samarbete med Stiftelsen Lantbruksforskning för att skapa förutsättningar för forskning i hållbar mjölkproduktion samt för att öka kunskaper om hur mejeriprodukter bidrar till en balanserad och näringsrik kost för konsumenterna.

Den nya mejeriprodukten Gry en innovativ blandning av svensk havre och komjölk som säljs under det övergripande varumärket Smålandsmat.

Through the acquisition of the assets of Austrian-based ingredient supplier Österreichische Laberzeugung Hundsbichler GmbH, Chr. Hansen will further expand its enzyme production and presence into the traditional segments of specialty cheeses. Hundsbichler products are widely recognized for high quality, and this acquisition will enable Chr. Hansen to offer cheesemakers a second-to-none product portfolio in the animal rennet space.
Hundsbichler, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Langkampfen, Austria, is among the leading suppliers of animal rennet to the cheese industry. Key products include the BioRen® brand ranging from mainstream products to more specialized items used for production of typical, traditional cheeses.
Chr. Hansen sees a strong fit between its dairy business and Hundsbichler, which is expected to provide attractive opportunities for synergies within sales, including cross-selling, supply chain improvements and innovation. These synergies are expected to be achieved in the coming two years. The assets of Hundsbichler was acquired for an undisclosed amount and comprises customers, products, trademarks and production equipment. The acquisition will not impact the financial guidance of Chr. Hansen and will only have a minor impact on sales and earnings in 2018/19.
Chr. Hansen achieved strong results in 2017/18, and growth is set to continue in 2018/19. CEO Mauricio Graber says: “2017/18 was another good year for Chr. Hansen, and we finished strongly in Q4 driven by Food Cultures & Enzymes and Health & Nutrition. We achieved all the overall financial targets that we set at the beginning of the year, in spite of currency headwinds impacting both revenues and earnings, with organic growth reaching 9%, EBIT margin before special items increasing to 29.2%, and free cash flow before special items and acquisitions increasing by 4% to EUR 196 million. For the full year, Food Cultures & Enzymes delivered strong growth organic of 12%, performing well above the long-term ambition of growing 7-8% per year, while Health & Nutrition and Natural Colors delivered moderate growth and grew by 8% and 5%, respectively.
