China urges population to consume more milk
CHINA –, The China Dairy Industry Association (CDIA) is urging Chinese consumers to eat and drink more milk products in an effort to improve overall health conditions.
At present, Chinese people drink less milk than alcohol. A CDIA report last year revealed that eight million tonnes of spirits are produced in the country each year, compared with 7.4 million tonnes of milk.
The Chinese consume approximately 6kg of dairy products per head per year, compared with a world average of 92.2kg.
