China's dairy sector Part 2: Dairy product consumption patterns

摘要

Editor's Note: This is the second of a two-part series on the dairy industry in China. The first segment on the current status and future prospects of China's dairy industry appeared in the March 2018 issue of Feedstuffs.CHINA'S per capita fluid milk consumption was 17.3 kg in 2013, less than fluid milk consumption in the U.S. (73.9 kg), Canada (77.3 kg), Japan (31.1 kg), New Zealand (99.9 kg) and England (105.4 kg).In China's rural areas, per capita consumption is even lower, standing at less than 10 kg. As the Chinese government promotes the urbanization process, per capita consumption is expected to grow as more rural residents move to cities.
