Sanction-hit Qatar is flying in food from abroad, including milk from the UK.
It comes from a Midlands farm, making a 3000-mile trip because of sanctions imposed on Qatar by four neighbouring Arab states.
It takes four days for the goods -- exported by Birmingham company Y International -- to arrive, then it goes on sale with other British milk selling for at least £5.
The liquid milk is a business boost for the dairy farmers who appreciate the guaranteed price.
Qatar has also airlifted cows into the emirate to help overcome the sanctions.
