The current trend towards nutritional sustenance perfectly fits our company’s corporate mission of producing and providing healthy and high-quality products that satisfy consumer needs. We will intensify our efforts to provide healthy beverages as ambassadors for the global drive towards improved well-being.”
“The Middle East and the gulf markets offer vast opportunities for the beverage industry, as it has one of the growing per capita liquid consumption in the Middle East. Adding to this the consumer shift towards healthy food and drinks, which are precisely what Al Rabie envisioned to produce since its inception, our company expects to enjoy even more growth in the near future. As Al Rabie’ motto “Health for all” we remain committed to providing healthy beverages and dairy products that offer quality and value while contributing to a healthier citizenry,” concluded Al Harthi.
