  • He suggests a need for a decisive action to resolve the issue, noting that even retail chains are unhappy with the current situation.
  • The company has expanded into ice cream production, though this operation has been moved under a different entity.

The Czech dairy market is suffering from an overabundance of discount promotions, a situation that is becoming untenable even for major retail chains, according to Michal ล koda, director of Hollandia Karlovy Vary.

"There are too many discount actions on the market," ล koda stated in an interview with iDNES.cz. He believes the situation is unsustainable and is looking for a decisive intervention to rectify it. The dairy director pointed out that the current promotional environment is detrimental to local producers, implying a need to shift consumer focus towards supporting domestic businesses.

ล koda's company, Hollandia, has recently diversified its product line by launching ice cream production. However, this new venture has already been transferred to Bidfood, indicating potential strategic shifts or consolidation within the company's operations. The move suggests a complex business environment where companies are adapting to market pressures and seeking new avenues for growth or operational efficiency.
