The Finland headquartered dairy cooperative Valio and the Switzerland headquartered food and beverage ingredient distributor DKSH have signed an agreement on the distribution of special milk powders to Valio’s industrial customers in the Asian markets Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Singapore. The majority of the population in South-East Asia is not able to consume dairy products because of the lactose in milk. Industry-tailored, lactose-free Valio Eila products are gut-friendly and can be consumed also by people who typically cannot consume milk products.
