"China's largest dairy production area is still far from the advanced level of the dairy industry in developed countries." Ren Yaping, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, said in an interview with reporters.
The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, located in the high-quality golden milk source belt at 45 degrees north latitude, is the largest dairy production area in China.
In recent years, Inner Mongolia's dairy cow inventory, milk production, per capita milk share, and dairy product output have ranked first in the country, and the dairy industry has become the most representative industry in Inner Mongolia.

In addition, according to data provided by the China Dairy Association, in 2020, the national milk production was 34.4 million tons, an increase of 8.2% over 2015; it was close to 5% of the global milk production, ranking among the top in the world.
Although "quantity" has taken a place in the world, China's dairy industry still has deficiencies in "quality".
Ren Yaping, who has been paying attention to the development of dairy products in China for a long time, found that a series of "stuck neck" problems still exist, such as insufficient scientific and technological support capacity, insufficient forage supply capacity, and loose connection of interests in breeding and processing.
As China embarks on a new journey, under the guidance of the new development concept, China's dairy industry is also moving towards a path of high-quality development.
Inner Mongolia is the first to propose that by 2025, the milk production will reach 10 million tons, and the output value of dairy processing enterprises will reach 300 billion yuan, so as to realize the revitalization of China's dairy industry. As the capital, Hohhot is also committed to upgrading from "China Milk Capital" to "World Milk Capital". ".
What are the hurdles that China's dairy industry needs to overcome in its journey towards internationalization?
The representative committee members interviewed by the reporter also "weapon" for this.
First of all, we must make a fuss on the "cow".
The development of the dairy industry is based on breeding, but the number of domestic bulls is far from meeting market demand.
Based on this, Ren Yaping believes that the cultivation of high-quality provenance should be supported, such as moderately widening the scope of dairy cow importing countries, appropriately broadening the imported cattle source market, and granting subsidies to each imported dairy cow.
"For example, Holstein cows and Simmental cows can be included in the national joint breeding project to support Inner Mongolia to improve the independent breeding ability of dairy cows."
Second, we must work hard on quality.
The dairy industry has a long industrial chain, and monitoring and control of each link is very important.
Li Cuizhi, a representative of the National People's Congress, pointed out that for the huge amount of data to be mined in the upstream and downstream industries, it is recommended to build a dairy quality big data platform to promote the sharing and openness of data resources, so as to break through the internal barriers of the industry and promote the flow of data.
"In such a dairy industry quality data system, the combination of big data theory and food safety quality data features can build a moat of safety data."
Achieving high-quality development is also inseparable from "innovation" assistance.
According to Shi Yudong, a representative of the National People's Congress who has been engaged in dairy product innovation research for a long time, the current deep-processing industry system needs to be improved and upgraded, and the ingredients of dairy functional products still rely on imports. The outstanding problems and problems in the deep-processing field need to be overcome by “innovation”.
"The dairy industry needs to be integrated into the new development pattern of the'dual cycle' in order to truly usher in transformation and upgrading." Shi Yudong said, in addition, it also needs to support leading domestic companies in their overseas deployment to gain a greater voice in the world, and at the same time adjust feed import tariffs. Tax rates, phased opening to increase the country of origin of dairy cow imports, etc.
The representatives interviewed noted that “continue to implement the dairy industry revitalization action” has been written into government documents many times in recent years, and it is regarded as a direction for accelerating the advancement of agricultural modernization. It has world-class milk sources, technology, and Standards, the internationalization of China's dairy industry is expected to achieve the simultaneous advancement of "quality" and "quantity".
