Food Security Firmly on the Menu in China

New edition of Dairy Products China News featuring: Continued pandemic problems, Ukranian impact on Belt and Road Initiative and price rises for Chinese factories.

Back in December, Beijing announced that it wanted to produce 95% of its pork by 2025 and make the country independent of soy imports. 

These figures seem somewhere between improbable and impossible, and in dairy we are very used to seeing impossible local self-sufficiency targets being announced around Asia and Africa.

However, as Richard Field notes in this month’s edition of Dairy Products China News, China’s dairy production aspirations – despite some major challenges – can by no means be ruled out.
