Emirates Industry for Camel Milk & Products (EICMP) of Dubai is the holding company for three sister-companies – Camelicious, The Majlis, and Al Nassma. All three companies source their basic milk product from a single farm which has over 3,000 camels and collectively produces approximately 5,000 liters per day. Together they are the largest entity in the UAE producing camel-based produce. In the past year the company has seen growth of 100% and demand is still outpacing supply. Currently the company offers fine chocolates made from camel milk, breads, pastries, muffins, ice creams and camel milk. The company is planning to expand with four flavors of milk, three cheese, and two more dairy products to reach the market next month. The company also plans to expand further and commercialize camel milk overseas. Camel milk powder, camel whey powder, and small batches of fresh camel milk have recently reached Europe. The company is searching for partners to expand into pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and sports and nutrition drinks. Sales records for Al Naasma show that 40% of sales have been to Westerners or Europeans, 40% to people from the Far East, and 20% to people from the local region
