Tetra Pak hopes to encourage further growth and development in the Chinese dairy industry by overseeing the launch of a new research centre in conjunction with the People's University of China (Renda).
The packaging supplier said this week that the Renda-Tetra Pak Dairy Research Centre will allow the country's government, academics and producers to bring innovation and enhanced farming techniques to the industry.
A spokesperson for the company told DairyReporter.com that the program was an extension of Tetra-Pak's ongoing investment in the country's dairy industry designed to encourage growth in its customer base.
"Chinese dairy is an increasingly important market for Tetra Pak," the spokesperson said. "The level of investment made therefore is directly linked to this potential."
The dairy centre has a number of aims including performing economic studies on improving dairy and milk production in the country and also providing training for farmers literally at the grass roots level of the industry.
