China vows all-round modernisation push of dairy industry by 2030

China's dairy industry will make significant strides toward all-round modernisation by 2030, the Dairy Association of China said on Monday (July 14). 

By 2030, the country's milk self-sufficiency rate is expected to be maintained at over 70 %, with annual milk yield per cow exceeding 10 tonnes, according to a document released by the association at the 16th Dairy Conference held in Xiamen, east China's Fujian Province.

The dairy product quality inspection pass rate should remain above 99 % by 2030, according to the document, which added that the production process should be more environmentally friendly.

To achieve the goals, an advanced forage production and supply system and a high-efficiency dairy cattle breeding system will need to be established, said the association.

Efforts should also be made to propel the processing of dairy products to be more digital-savvy, it said.
