China-Dairy and Products Semi-annual Report 2013
China’s 2013 fluid milk production shows an increase of 270,000 tons to reach 34.65 million tons as genetic improvements and improved feed nutrition boost output. The revised estimate for China’s 2013 fluid milk imports, expected to increase by 33 percent to 150,000 tons, support U.S. fluid exports,
which have jumped from 43 tons in 2010 to nearly 2,750 tons in 2012. China’s 2013 nonfat dry (NFD) milk production is forecast to remain unchanged at 58,000 tons, while whole milk powder (WMP) production is increased by one percent to 1.22 million tons. China’s 2013 NFD imports are lowered to
185,000 tons due to price competition with WMP, and WMP imports are raised to 480,000 tons as a result of continued growth in consumer demand.
