China, the world's largest dairy importer, is increasing its milk production, leading to a decrease in imports and a shift towards self-sufficiency. In 2023, China's self-sufficiency in dairy products reached 82.3%, up from 78.1% the previous year. This trend is expected to limit dairy imports further. The Polmlek Group is capitalizing on this by exporting specialized dairy products to China, such as lactose powder and whey protein concentrate, and cheese, mainly mozzarella. The company's strategy includes investing in automation and robotization to stay competitive in a market where dairy production profits are declining.
