Study: 4 out of 5 Dairy Processors Interested in Optimizing Production
It’s been a bright spot in a sometimes-dismal economy. Globally, milk production is expected to reach 827 million tons in 2020—19% over 2010—and dairy product sales are expected to reach $494 billion in 2015. The need for efficiency has been driving that growth, according to the 2013 edition of “Dairy Industry — A Market Assessment,” a new study produced by PMMI, The Association for Packaging and Processing Technologies.
“The dairy industry is very interested in optimizing production, and with that comes a willingness to adopt new technologies and doing more with less,” says Jorge Izquierdo, vice president, market development for PMMI, the Reston, Va.-based owner of PACK EXPO tradeshows.
