On the international scene: Fonterra’s profits rise in 2015; Arla forms two joint ventures in Africa; and a Global dairy group publishes sustainability report.

Record dairy markets and a focus on the foodservice sector combined to push sales for Associated Milk Producers Inc. (AMPI) to $2.2 billion in 2014.
 

Sales increased in 2014 for dairy processors Lala and Arla.

Danone reported 2014 revenues rose 4.7% and sales in its fresh dairy products division increased 1.5%.

Mexico's Grupo Lala said sales increased 7% to $3.2 billion. The dairy processor attributed the growth mainly to a higher value-added product mix, to non-organic growth as a result of new products and brands in the portfolio, to volume growth and to the company´s price increase strategy.

Land O'Lakes Inc., Arden Hills, Minn., said that its Dairy Foods business segment in 2013 generated record pretax earnings of $75 million on sales of $4.5 billion, up 8% from 2012. The results were driven by improved margins on milk powders and butter in Global Dairy Ingredients along with records in sales volume and earnings in the Retail Foods and Foodservice businesses.

Organic Valley, the nation’s largest cooperative of organic farmers and a leading organic brand, said this week that sales increased to $860 million in 2012 from $715 million in 2011, a 20% growth.
