The biggest dairy in the world is to be be built near London as the consolidation of the milk market continues.

Arla Foods, the Danish producer that processes 28 per cent of Britain’s milk, will build the processing plant, which will handle one billion litres of milk a year and will be operational in 2012. It will create about 500 jobs and cost Arla more than £70 million. The exact location is as yet undecided. The company said that it was operating at full capacity in its other plants.
