There was an interesting article in Dairy Herd Management yesterday titled "China Matters!" (to the dairy industry). Dairy industry leaders in China as well as political leaders are promoting increased dairy consumption for health reasons. Even small increases in individual dairy consumption can have a large effect on world consumption, because China's population is so large. There are several interesting statistics and details in the article.
The article also mentions a point made on this blog earlier (here and here) — that the Olympics will likely have a positive effect on cheese consumption in China.
Thanks to Mike Farmer for pointing out this article.
