Feeding 1.4 Billion: Inside China's largest dairy farm

According to the China Dairy Data Report released by the Dairy Association of China, from 1949 to 2018, China's total raw milk production increased from 220,000 tons to 31.77 million tons, posting a 145-fold increase. Milk and dairy product consumption quadrupled among urban residents from 1995 to 2010 and nearly increased sixfold among rural ones, making the country the fastest-growing market in milk consumption. About 100,000 mu (6,667 hectares) of alfalfa await this year's last harvest in Bengbu City, east China's Anhui Province. Known as the king of pastures, alfalfa is rich in nutrients and works as a good animal feed.
