We should note here that cow milk consumption does not equate with its importation. Some countries are high consumers but not high importers because they have a self-sufficient dairy industry whereas some countries are high consumers and high importers basically because the need and demand for the product in such countries are very high. Also, we have some countries that produce more but consume less. Hence such countries export more of their cow milk.

Overall China still remains the highest importer of cow milk majorly because of its huge population and the preference of the Chinese people for imported cow milk due to a series of cow milk scandals that have engulfed the Asian giants in recent years.

For those who intend to go into cow milk exportation, you should be targetting majorly countries with high importation rates of the product because that is where the demand is. Hence you will sell more quantities and make more profits from those countries.
