The production of ghee and butter in China is on a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. The forecast indicates a gentle year-on-year reduction, down from 82.19 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 78.97 thousand metric tons by 2028. This suggests a diminishing trend, emphasizing a possible shift in consumer preferences, market dynamics, or supply chain adjustments. Absent precise data for 2023, the forecasted decrease suggests caution for stakeholders.
Future trends to watch for:
- Shifts in dietary habits towards healthier or alternative fat sources.
- Impact of domestic production policies and challenges in dairy farming.
- Technological advancements in production efficiency and replacement products.
- Possible rising import competition influencing domestic production rates.
