The Exhibition Value of China Dairy Expo D
- The China Dairy Congress (DAC) is the largest, most professional, and most influential national industry event in China’s dairy sector. Hosted by the China Dairy Association, it has been independently organized since 2015 and has successfully held more than ten consecutive editions. Widely recognized within the industry as Asia’s premier and the world’s second-largest dairy summit—second only to the World Dairy Expo in the United States—it serves as a leading indicator of high-quality development in China’s dairy industry and a central hub for connecting global dairy value chains. The 16th edition in 2025 will be held in Xiamen, featuring an exhibition space of 100,000 square meters, bringing together over 500 exhibiting companies, attracting more than 60,000 professional visitors, and drawing six vice-ministerial-level leaders, two academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and over 1,300 corporate executives—an unprecedented scale of attendance.
- The core value of participation lies in its unparalleled ability to cover the entire dairy value chain and the authoritative endorsement provided by a national-level platform. The expo encompasses every segment of the dairy industry, from dairy cattle breeding, forage and feed, health and nutrition, equipment and machinery, farm construction, packaging and processing equipment, dairy product manufacturing, logistics and transportation, premium dairy products, to comprehensive dairy services—creating a complete industrial ecosystem that spans cultivation, animal husbandry, processing, and consumption. Among the exhibitors, leading enterprises such as Yili, Mengniu, Bright Dairy, Junlebao, Feihe, and Wandashan are all present, alongside benchmark farms like Youran Pastoral and Modern Dairy, as well as national pavilions from major dairy-producing countries including the United States, the Netherlands, New Zealand, and Australia, resulting in an internationalization rate exceeding 60%.
- The expo aligns with three major industry trends—technological innovation, digital empowerment, and industrial integration—establishing a cutting-edge technological platform deeply integrating research, education, industry, and application. At the 2025 edition, key documents such as the “China Dairy Quality Report (2025)” and the “China Dairy Advancement 2030” were unveiled, clearly setting forth strategic goals to comprehensively elevate the modernization level of the dairy industry by 2030. Concurrently, the expo hosted 21 specialized conferences—including the China Dairy Development Strategy Symposium, the Cheese Industry Forum, and the Dairy Cattle Breeding Technology Forum—focusing on前沿 issues such as smart farms, genetic breeding, precision feeding, and low-carbon circular systems. Leading companies like Yili and Mengniu shared innovative practices in AI-driven industrial transformation and full-chain collaboration, offering exemplary pathways for industry upgrading and transformation.
- For Chinese enterprises, this expo serves as a strategic gateway for expanding domestic and international markets, connecting global resources, and showcasing their innovative capabilities. The expo invites representatives from large and medium-sized dairy farms nationwide, with total herd sizes exceeding 2.4 million head, providing upstream suppliers with a precise matchmaking platform. During the event, leading dairy companies such as Yili, Mengniu, Bright Dairy, and Junlebao engage in in-depth discussions with upstream and downstream partners, advancing integrated development across production, processing, and sales. Furthermore, through a hybrid “conference + exhibition” model, the expo offers exhibitors end-to-end services—including policy briefings, technical exchanges, and trade matchmaking—effectively supporting China’s dairy industry in transitioning from “scale expansion” to “quality enhancement.”
