Following the acquisition, F&N AgriValley plans to explore how upstream insourcing of fresh milk can support the existing downstream production.

“This investment reflects the potential we see in filling the gap of local dairy sector, and the huge opportunity to increase fresh milk consumption in Malaysia in our journey towards a healthier society,” says Lim Yew Hoe, F&NHB Chief Executive Officer.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
