China’s herd size will continue to shrink (to 7.5 million head), but less than Post originally forecast. Due to the consolidation and modernization of dairy farms, for the first time, scale farms (farms with over 100 head of cattle) account for the majority of the Chinese dairy herd. Fluid milk production is forecast at 35.5 million tons and imports are forecast to grow 15 percent to 750,000 metric tons. The European Union (EU), New Zealand and Australia continue to dominate the dairy import market.
