At its farm in Al Khawaneej, Al Rawabi has a cattle stock of 13,500 cows. Starting in 1989 with 500 imported cows, Innovation is at the core of the company - it introduced the plastic bottles in 1991 in the UAE and is the first company to introduce fresh juices in the GCC in 1995. It is also credited with introducing pasteurized juices in the region and functional products in the dairy industry - such as Nutree Boost and Super Milk.

The company has realized that during the Ramadan season some of its products are not available in the various retails outlets in UAE.
