Milk Link Strikes Chinese Deal

Progressive UK dairy business Milk Link has struck a deal with leading Chinese dairy company Yili to supply Stilton & Cheddar to the Chinese market.

As part of the deal, Milk Link’s award winning Stilton and Cheddar will be available in major supermarket chains and leading hotels located in major cities across China.

The first shipment of cheese arrived in China this month and regular shipments are scheduled to supply the country’s rapidly growing supermarket chains. The market for cheese in China is seeing strong growth and Yili – which is already one of China’s largest dairy companies – is focused on becoming the market leader in this sector. Yili is already at the forefront of supplying dairy products through its yoghurt, long life milk, milk powder and ice cream businesses.
