Highlight: China¡¯s total 2008 milk production is expected to increase by nine percent to 39.1 MMT with cow milk accounting for 97 percent of output.

Whole-fat milk powder (WFMP) production in 2008 is expected to increase by nine percent to 1.3 MMT due to strong domestic demand. Despite increasing costs of production, higher international prices have pushed domestic production upwards and reduced imports.

China¡¯s whey imports in 2007 are also expected to fall by 12 percent, but import value is expected to increase considerably as a result of higher international prices. The United States is the second largest whey supplier to China. AQSIQ has accepted USDA/AMS export health certificates for U.S. dairy exports to China.
