Founded in 1977 and headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Almarai Company has grown into the largest vertically integrated dairy and beverage conglomerate in the Middle East and a premier global food producer. While Saudi Arabia serves as the company’s primary operational base, the United Arab Emirates stands out as its single largest export market and second-largest consumer market within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Operating through Almarai Emirates LLC, the corporation maintains a robust distribution, sales, and cold-chain infrastructure spanning all seven emirates. Almarai’s operational ethos centers on a seamless “farm-to-shelf” model, ensuring that fresh dairy, premium juices, baked goods, poultry, and specialized infant nutrition products reach thousands of retail outlets, hospitality chains, and food service establishments on a daily basis.

Core Product Portfolio in the United Arab Emirates

Almarai commands substantial market share across multiple fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) categories in the UAE retail sector, driven by a diverse lineup of high-quality consumer brands:

• Fresh & Long-Life Dairy: Dairy is the cornerstone of Almarai’s revenue in the UAE market. The portfolio features fresh milk and laban in whole, low-fat, and skimmed variants, alongside traditional fermented milk products and drinking yogurt (Zabadi). The cheese sector includes processed and natural options such as spreadable jar cheese, cheddar blocks, mozzarella, triangle cheese, and sliced formats tailored for home cooks and quick-service restaurants (QSRs). Additionally, extended shelf-life UHT and evaporated milk variants support long-term storage and institutional catering across the GCC.
• Juices & Beverages: The company’s juice division occupies a prominent position in the UAE refrigerated beverage segment. Offerings range from 100% pure fresh fruit juices—including orange, apple, and mixed berry blends without added sugar—to rich fruit nectars and functional, vitamin-fortified beverages.
• Bakery (L’Usine & 7 Days): Through strategic business acquisitions and joint ventures, Almarai successfully expanded its footprint into packaged baked goods. The L’Usine brand delivers premium sliced breads, sandwich rolls, burger buns, puff pastries, and filled croissants. Meanwhile, through Modern Food Industries (a joint venture with Chipita), the 7 Days brand leads the packaged snack market with chocolate, vanilla, and berry-filled croissants, mini-croissants, and bake rolls.
• Premium Poultry (Alyoum): Marketed under the trusted Alyoum brand, Almarai supplies fresh, antibiotic-free, and air-chilled whole chickens, specific cuts such as breasts, thighs, and drumsticks, and pre-marinated convenience options distributed widely across UAE hypermarkets and supermarkets.
• Infant Nutrition & Foodservice: Operating via Almarai Infant Nutrition Company (Almarai Baby Care), the company supplies specialized infant formulas like Nuralac and Enfamil through UAE pharmacies and retail chains. Furthermore, Almarai Professional functions as a dedicated B2B channel supplying bulk cream, butter, cheese, and cooking liquids to hotels, cafes, industrial bakeries, and restaurants.

Supply Chain and Cross-Border Logistics

The foundation of Almarai’s sustained success in the UAE relies on an intricately coordinated cold-chain logistics network that transports thousands of tons of perishable food items from Saudi Arabia into the Emirates every single day:

• Production Hubs: Milk production begins at Almarai’s sprawling mega-farms in Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia. Climate-controlled barns house more than 190,000 Holstein cows, where milk is harvested, immediately processed, and hermetically packaged within hours to lock in freshness.
• Cross-Border Routing: Refrigerated transport fleets traverse the King Fahd international highway network, entering the UAE smoothly via the Ghuwaifat border checkpoint.
• UAE Depot Network: Shipments arrive at central distribution facilities strategically situated in Dubai (covering Dubai Investment Park and Al Quoz), Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah.
• Direct Store Delivery (DSD): A specialized fleet of temperature-monitored distribution vans services hypermarkets, local corner stores (baqalas), schools, and medical facilities 365 days a year to guarantee uncompromised product quality and freshness.

Sustainability and UAE Strategic Alignment

As the United Arab Emirates actively advances its National Food Security Strategy 2051, Almarai serves as an essential partner in stabilizing regional food supply chains and supporting long-term environmental sustainability:

• Solar and Energy Efficiency: Almarai has rolled out solar photovoltaic (PV) systems across its regional distribution depots in the UAE, effectively offsetting operational electricity demand and lowering carbon emissions.
• Water Conservation: To safeguard regional aquifers, the company imports 100 percent of the green fodder required for its dairy cattle from sustainable agricultural sources in South America and the United States, balancing ecological responsibility with large-scale production.
• Packaging Reduction: Continuous lightweighting initiatives targeting PET juice bottles and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) milk jugs have significantly minimized plastic consumption throughout the UAE distribution pipeline.
