Liban Lait

Liban Lait is the name of the largest dairy farm in Lebanon, founded in 1997.

Liban Lait produces and distributes dairy products in Lebanon. It has a franchise agreement with Candia, the leading producers of UHT milk in France, allowing it to distribute and manufacture products under the Candia brand name.[1][2]

Liban Lait spreads over an area of 504,000 square metres in the Bekaa Valley. Facilities include a farm and a fully automated processing plant.[3]

Liban Lait’s dairy factory in Baalbek was bombed by the Israeli airforce during the 2006 offensive against Hizbollah. Three people were killed, two of them Belgium technicians.[4] Liban Lait has the contract to supply the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) with milk [1]; previously, this contract had been held by an Israeli firm ^[citation needed].
