The deal with UAE-based Elite Agro, a subsidiary of Emirates Advanced Investments Group, has resulted in an income gain of AED186 million ($50.6 million) for the company, a statement said.

Khalid Bin Kalban, managing director and CEO of Dubai Investments, said: “Dubai Investments acquired Marmum Dairy Farm in 1996, and established USP in 1999 and these investments were well timed as the company capitalised on the rapid growth of the food sector in the region.

“The divestment in Marmum and USP is part of the company’s strategy to continuously create value for its stakeholders. The sale to Elite Agro will enable Marmum and USP to reach next level of growth given the synergy of their businesses.”
