In recent years, the high income of dairy farming has promoted the construction of milk source bases in China

In 2021, the average output of commercial raw milk in China will be 77,000 tons per day.

In the long run, the growth rate of milk consumption in China is 3%-4%.

In addition, feed prices will maintain an upward trend in the future

At the same time, the increase in labor costs and prices of other raw materials, as well as the decline in the prices of dairy male calves and culled cattle in pastures, will have a certain impact on the breeding efficiency

In fact, the cost of raw milk in China has always been at a high level

In order to cope with this situation, China has introduced corresponding measures to continuously increase support for the dairy industry, improve the milk supply capacity, and enhance the industrial benefit chain and value chain
