About Awafi
Awafi is the value range Baladna sells alongside its main brand, covering long-life milk, yoghurt, laban and cheese rather than the full dairy and juice line. It is held through Awafi W.L.L., a company registered in Qatar and wholly owned by Baladna Q.P.S.C., whose stated business is trading in food materials, packaging and dairy products. Running a cheaper second label from a separate legal entity is a common way for a dominant local producer to reach price-sensitive shoppers without discounting its flagship.
