Premium pasterised milk Brookfarm debuts in Indonesia

Brookfarm premium milk from Diamond

Indonesia’s PT Diamond Cold Storage has introduced a new range of premium pasteurised milk under the Brookfarm range. The 1,000ml milk is made from 100% imported milk from Australia.

IDR/RM exchange rate at 0.00028. Store check at Hypermart, Jakarta in December 2014. Greenfields, Indomilk and Diamond are based on promotion price.

What is interesting about this fresh milk is it fetches a very high premium relative to other local fresh milk. Brookfarm is 162% more expensive than the Diamond fresh milk made by the same company.

Store check: Cold Storage, Mid Valley, Malaysia 4 May 2014. *All are fresh milk except Organic Valley and  Emmi. RM/L

As a comparison, popular fresh milk sold in Malaysia does not offer such a wide price gap. The maximum is about 50% (Pura Low Fat Milk vs Auselect).

If Brookfarm is targeted at the expat community or high-end consumers, it is natural to see it being made available at high-end residential/commercial areas such as in Central Jakarta. However, Brookfarm can be found in Hypermart in Gajah Mada Plaza, a middle class shopping mall.

Perhaps Brookfarm is a strategy by Diamond to capture a share of the premium pasteurised fresh milk market before serious competition from imports emerges.
