Staying up to date with the latest opportunities in the dairy milk market is important for every farmer, manager, and dairy industry worker. In that sense, and considering that the US is one of the largest global exporters of milk and dairy products, keeping an eye on the demands from other countries is a must. So how is China's milk market faring at the moment: are there opportunities to be had, or can they become competitors in the export market? In this episode, with Dr. Walter Chen, we discuss the market opportunities for dairy producers in China, the challenges faced by Chinese dairies, the country’s milk consumption, and the future of their milk production.“I grew up in China as a kid, and I never drank milk.
