Want to get the lowdown on the Chinese dairy market?

Dairy companies can gain inside information about innovation and new technology in the emerging Chinese dairy market and showcase their own cheese products at the 2nd Joint Symposium.

Focusing on the latest research and development in cheese, the China National Cereals, Oils and Foodstuffs Corporation (COFCO), Soochow University in China, INRA — Europe’s top agricultural research institute in France and Monash University in Australia will be holding the symposium in China in October.

The two-day event will be based at COFCO NHRI (Nutrition and Health Research Institute), the research centre of COFCO. The event includes a technical symposium, showcasing advanced capabilities and innovative dairy technologies for industry to utilise and co-develop into high-value, high-tech applications. The technical talks will be delivered by cheese experts from INRA and other countries. The symposium also includes a ‘Cheese and Wine Tasting’ session and a tour of COFCO NHRI. Following the symposium, the attendees are invited to visit Mengniu Dairy, one of the top dairy companies in China and in the top 10 globally, at its manufacturing site and headquarters in Hohhot or at its manufacturing site in Beijing.

The Australia-China Joint Research Centre (ACJRC) in Future Dairy Manufacturing is a virtual centre that links Australian and Chinese research institutions in conducting a portfolio of research-related activities in the field of dairy manufacturing. The centre focuses on seeking engineering solutions to practical problems in the dairy manufacturing sector. The centre is also promoting the culture of enjoying great dairy products.
