Room to grow

摘要

South Korea's dairy industry is growing apace, with most of the recent increase in dairy consumption in new products such as flavoured milk drinks and functional dairy food items - the latter having become particularly popular among male office workers. According to industry figures, total milk consumption in South Korea reached 2.25 million tons worth US$120 million (?99m) annually in 2004, down ten per cent from 2.5 million tons in 2003 - meaning that total milk consumption returned to the same level as in 2002.
