Danish co-op starts scope three incentive payments
Danish co-op Arla is now paying a monthly incentive to its farmer shareholders for sustainability efforts.
GlobalDairyTrade (GDT), the world's leading online dairy auction platform, has announced that Arla Foods Ingredients (AFI) will offer food grade lactose on the platform.
AFI, a global leader in producing natural whey ingredients, is an independently operated subsidiary of Arla Foods, a leading European dairy co-operative, and GDT registered seller.
According to GDT director Paul Grave, AFI will offer a significant volume of lactose to the platform.
"AFI's offering of lactose on GDT reflects an increasing trend for European producers to seek export of Europe, and to extend their reach to the global market, as they expand production."
"We are confident in the global demand for lactose, and expect a high level of interest from across our network of over 650 registered buyers," says Grave.
Lactose is commonly used in the food and confectionary industries, since it has a low sweetness, binds flavours and aromas and increases storage life. It is used in preparing baked goods, and also within the pharmaceutical industry, giving the commodity appeal across a wide range of buyers.
