In the first four months of 2017 Chinese dairy imports in milk equivalent (ME) grew 1.04% on a trend basis. That confirms a positive scenario for the market in terms of volume and value.
EU-28 and USA have the best export performance to China. Oceania slows down.
Focusing the EU-28, we see that WMP, SMP, cheeses and cream exports are positive.
In the Community context, interesting performance for France in WMP (+ 682%), SMP (+ 21%), whey powder (+ 18%); however cheese exports decrease (-27%), where Italy has the greatest advantage in this area (+35%).
Chinese milk production going up (+29.1%), while packaged milk imports slow down (-18.9%).
At the same time, milk cream imports is making a boom. Maybe dairy consumption changes: are Chinese people turning to an Occidental way of eat dairy? Perhaps. Check spotted coffee and cappuccino consumption, for example.
Cheese imports also grow by 18.3% between January and April 2017 on a trend basis, confirming that new food trends are emerging.
