The consumption of milk is decreasing and all the Dairy companies in the world are facing the rise of plant based dairy alternatives. Valio decided to branch their strategy to also include plant-based products into the portfolio. First products were launched in the beginning of 2018. Valio decided not to invest in totally new production lines but utilise the current facilities. The benefits and also challenges of dairy and plant-based food production in the same plant will be discussed.
