Dairy industry development is vital to public health, national economic stability, and the future of our nation, receiving close attention from the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. As a major dairy-producing province, Hebei has vigorously promoted the revitalization of its dairy sector by strengthening dairy enterprises and farm infrastructure, prioritizing the construction of dairy processing projects, and supporting dairy farms through upgrades to increase both herd size and per-cow milk yield. In this endeavor to rejuvenate the national dairy industry, Hebei shoulders an important responsibility. The supportive policies of the Hebei Provincial Government will inject new momentum and create fresh opportunities for the sector.

The Exhibition Value of the Northern Dairy Industry Conference

• The Northern Dairy Industry Conference is the largest and most influential specialized event for the entire dairy industry chain in northern China. Since its inception, it has been successfully held seven times, attracting a cumulative total of over 1,800 exhibiting companies, with approximately 70% of exhibitors participating continuously. It is widely recognized within the industry as a leading indicator of dairy sector development in northern China and a core platform driving national dairy revitalization. Organized by the Hebei Provincial Dairy Association and strongly supported by the China Dairy Association and relevant departments of the Hebei Provincial Government, the conference is held annually at the Shijiazhuang International Convention and Exhibition Center, serving as a strategic platform for connecting global dairy resources, showcasing cutting-edge technological advancements, and promoting high-quality industry growth.
• The core value of participation lies in its unique ability to connect key dairy-producing regions in northern China with a highly concentrated pool of professional buyers. Hebei Province ranks second nationwide in dairy production, with a dairy cow inventory of 1.51 million in 2023, fresh milk output of 5.71 million tons, and a dairy processing industry generating RMB 45.152 billion in revenue and RMB 2.703 billion in profits—up 46.7% year-on-year. Leveraging this robust industrial foundation, the exhibition draws top-tier domestic and international enterprises, as well as specialized visitors such as farm managers and procurement professionals, to engage in business discussions and purchasing activities. The event provides complimentary accommodation and shuttle services for pre-registered professional attendees and features dedicated matchmaking zones to ensure the presence of high-caliber buyers.
• The exhibition establishes a one-stop commercial platform covering the entire dairy industry value chain. Exhibits span all segments of the industry, including dairy livestock breeding (frozen semen, embryos, breeding technologies and equipment), forage and feed (pastures, feeds, additives), animal health and veterinary medicines (vaccines, disinfectants), machinery and equipment (forage processing, milking, TMR systems, manure management), farm construction, dairy processing (liquid milk, powdered milk, cheese and other dairy products), packaging and filling materials, and cold-chain logistics.
• The exhibition aligns with three major industry trends—new‑type productive forces, high‑quality development, and dairy revitalization—creating a hub for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application. In 2025, the event will be themed “Harnessing New‑Type Productive Forces to Drive High‑Quality Development and Navigate Cycles for a Sustainable Future,” accompanied by high‑caliber ancillary events, including the 2025 Northern Dairy Industry Technology and Development Forum, the Cattle and Sheep Industry Development Forum, the Elite Cattle Leaders Gala, and an awards ceremony honoring premium suppliers. Renowned industry experts will deliver keynote presentations on strategies for addressing industry challenges and on “lean management” approaches to reducing farming costs.
• For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway to penetrate the northern market, connect with regional resources, and showcase innovative capabilities. The Hebei Provincial Government is vigorously advancing dairy revitalization efforts, prioritizing the development of dairy processing projects and supporting upgrades to dairy farms, thereby playing a pivotal role in the national dairy renaissance. At the exhibition, leading domestic dairy giants such as Yili, Mengniu, and Junlebao compete alongside international brands like DeLaval and Coroni, while Xin Hope Tianxiang Dairy reported consolidating existing customer relationships and securing new partnership opportunities through the event. Participating companies can leverage this platform to access core purchasing networks in northern China, seizing early opportunities in the industry’s transformation toward smart, green, and high‑quality development.
