china's white revolution: the growing demand for dairy

摘要

A recent report from the Global Agriculture Information Network (GAIN) takes an in-depth look at China and its potential as a destination for foreign dairy product manufacturers. What follows is a summary of China's 'white revolution'. GAIN is a web portal into the US's Foreign Agricultureal Service database of overseas reports from 1995 to the present. At just 13kg, China's per capita consumption of dairy products is one of the lowest in the world. It is roughly one-third the Asian average of 35kg,significantly lower than the world average of 100kg, and far behind the nearly 300kg per person of some developed nations. But it's growing fast. Per capita consumption has more than doubled since 1995 and analysts predict it could double again by 2015.
