Senior Vice President Global Ingredients Marketing and Executive Director USDEC Singapore Ltd at US Dairy Export Council
Last week, I attended the 30th Annual Conference of the China Dairy Industry Association (CDIA) and the 2024 China International Dairy Technology Expo in Changsha, where I was honored to deliver remarks at the opening ceremony. It was great speaking about USDEC’s longstanding, committed partnership with CDIA and how our work together has helped increase dairy exports to China 20-fold compared to 25 years ago. This year’s event theme was ‘Green Development, Technology Innovation, International Cooperation, Nutrition and Health,’ where many presentations focused on China industry efforts to be more sustainable, the economic environment, meeting the nutritional needs of Chinese consumers and the role that dairy plays in all of these. Additionally, U.S. Dairy Export Council hosted a half-day symposium that featured presentations by USDEC staff Annie Bienvenue (in-person) on ‘Why High Protein Dairy Ingredients” and William Loux (pre-recorded) giving the latest dairy market outlook. Additionally, our local office representation presented on global new product trends related to dairy proteins and yogurt, while Donna Berry shared a recorded presentation on global consumer trends, and we were joined by our partners from Jiangnan University who presented the nutritional benefits and latest innovation application opportunities for dairy proteins and permeates. USDEC members Glanbia Nutritionals, Agropur, Milk Specialties Global, Darigold and Proliant local staff also attended and shared information on their respective organizations. I had a great time at this year’s annual conference and look forward to continuing this partnership! #USDairy #USDEC #ThinkUSADairy #CDIA
