Irish Dairy Board opens plant in Algeria to boost North African sales

KERRYGOLD milk powder products may record a 4,000 tonnes sales boost with the opening yesterday of an Irish Dairy Board (IDB) premises in Oran, Algeria.

With its 35 million consumers, Algeria is already the IDB’s second largest market for cheese.

The new office will also be a critical base from which to extend the IDB’s footprint in North Africa — a market of almost 200 million consumers.
