In the first half of the year, the growth rate of terentsu reached nearly 40%, and the growth rate of organic products exceeded 60%. According to the recent channel research feedback, the trend is still continuing. The growth rate of high-end white milk such as Q4 terentsu and Jindian still maintains a level of more than 20%. Consumers have a high acceptance of higher-end Jindian organic, terentsu dream cover, anmuxi fruit granules and other categories, and the dynamic sales are in good condition.

Therefore, Yili and Mengniu, as the two dairy leaders, the structure of white milk products is still continuously optimized, so as to improve the profitability.
