PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- B&D(R) food corp.
(OTC:BDFC.OB) (BULLETIN BOARD: BDFC.OB) operating in the food and
beverage industry, B&D specializes in the trading, roasting and
distribution of top quality Arabica coffee and related products.
Thirteen days ago B&D announced the signing of a non-binding
LOI with one of Brazil's largest powdered milk producers -- Leite
Canaan and Geskan (see press release -- July 18th). This strategic
acquisition aims to capitalize on the rise in world milk and milk
powder prices. Additionally, B&D hopes to increase exposure
through Leite Canaan's strong distribution system, introducing
B&D's brands of coffees and related beverages to new consumers
across South Brazil. The Leite Canaan factory, founded in 2004, has
the ability of processing 200,000 Liters/day = 16,800 kg/day of
powdered milk. Most of the powdered milk produced will find its way
to various shelves in South Brazil. However, as milk supply
decreases worldwide and prices rise accordingly, B&D has begun
exploring various markets outside of Brazil that are in demand of
this product. The proximity of both B&D's and Leite Canaan's
factories to Brazil largest commercial harbors, Santos and Rio de
Janeiro, intends to make B&D an attractive supplier to these
overseas costumers. Milk powder, a highly marketable commodity in
itself, is also a necessary ingredient in all cappuccino and
chocolate drinks. B&D has the ability of producing 300
tons/month of these beverages and hopes to accommodate an
increasing demand for these products throughout South Brazil. In
conclusion, this acquisition aims to combine B&D's current
abilities with to a vast distribution system, cost-saving
synergies, professional personal (see press release -- July 23rd)
and a worldwide demand for a product in short supply. Safe Harbor
