Kuala Lumpur, November 22 – Farm Fresh Bhd, funded by Khazanah Nasional Bhd, is Malaysia’s lone “Brand of the Year” winner in the dairy products category at the 2022-2023 World Branding Awards ceremony at Kensington Palace in London.

The World Branding Award is the highest honor bestowed upon the World Branding Forum. Winners are determined by open online voting, consumer market research, and brand appraisal. According to Richard Rowles, head of the World Branding Forum, each country had just five winners.

Farm Fresh, created more than a decade ago by Loi Tuan Ee and Loi Tuan Kin, had a market share of 23% in the total RTD milk sector and 49% in the chilled ready-to-drink (RTD) milk segment as of June 30 this year.
