Qin Yi, mayor of Hohhot, spoke at the forum. The Chinese dairy industry has won more attention than ever, which means it has a bright future. Throughout the forum’s eight sessions, China has witnessed dramatic development within its dairy industry, said Qin.
Qin recalled the last year’s forum, when a declaration of “responsibility and trust” was signed by representatives from over 80 cities. It was a promise to guarantee dairy products’ quality and revitalize the consumer confidence. This promise has since been carried out.
Patterns within the dairy industry have changed profoundly. For the first time, the Asian dairy industry has a place on the Global Dairy Top 10 as Yili, a Chinese dairy giant, won a spot on the rankings.
Hohhot is known as a Chinese “dairy city” and therefore assumes a leading role in revitalizing the Chinese dairy industry. In response to markets, enterprises and the public, the city must attach much more importance to dairy production, upgrades and product safety, Qin said.
Bi Yuan, inspector of China Food and Drug Administration; Wang Feng, director of the Agriculture Ministry’s Dairy Industry Administration Office; and Zhang Jianqiu, executive president of Yili Group, all made speeches at the forum. Their speeches promoted China’s dream of dairy-product innovation and the Chinese dairy industry’s development.
