Both revenue and result rose despite the difficult market conditions in Europe and the steep drop in the market prices for butter and milk powder. In part due to this the guaranteed price of milk from the member dairy farmers was less than in the first half of 2011. Asia, where FrieslandCampina achieved a quarter of its total revenue, made a major contribution towards the revenue growth and improved result. The volume of infant & toddler nutrition has increased in both the Ingredients and Consumer Products International business groups. The acquisition of Alaska Milk Corporation (AMC) – the number-2 dairy company in the Philippines – means a substantial strengthening of our activities in Asia. With its nearly 100 million inhabitants this archipelago is a fast-growing economy and a significant market for FrieslandCampina. AMC’s activities fit in very well with FrieslandCampina’s activities in Asia. Due to the increasing demand for pre-packed cheese, Friesland- Campina intends acquiring the cheese packaging company IDB Belgium. A letter of intent for the acquisition of two dairy companies in Serbia has not been followed-up because agreement could not be reached regarding the transaction conditions.
