Saudi Arabia's Almarai, the Gulf's largest dairy company, plans to spend 10.6 billion riyals ($2.8 billion) in capital investment under a five year business plan aimed at boosting its efficiency and expanding its geographic footprint.
The investment for the period from 2019 to 2023 will be financed through growing operating cash flow, bank funding, local and international sukuk programmes, as well as the Saudi Industrial Development Fund and the Agricultural Development Fund, it said.
"Given the persistent challenging economic conditions across the region, the focus on efficiency and cost optimization measures will continue throughout the plan period to ensure continuous competitive advantage," the company said in a statement.
