By comparison, in India, we
found people boil milk, which
they add in large doses to their tea,
and various fresh cheeses and
cheese made into pastry are very
popular dishes in that country.
The latest USDA statistics re
veal that while milk production
for U.S. cows is 16,128 pounds
annually, the average cow in Chi
na gives only 3,300 pounds. And
the per capita consumption of
milk in the United States is S9O
pounds as compared to China,
where yearly consumption of milk
(both cow and goat) per person is
only 9 pounds.
It’s puzzling how the Chinese
get their daily requirements of 800
milligrams calcium.
In China, we asked to see a
dairy farm, but apparently there
were none in the vicinity.
Even in the nearby wild moun
tains, the livestock is limited a
pig, a few chicken, some pheas
ants, but the one animal that
thrives there in large numbers is
the cashmere goat, which is suited
to the rugged mountainous terrain.
These goats also bring farmers a
good income, but they have no
milk to offer beyond nursing their
kids.
We visited the Great Wall built
along the top of steep mountains.
It is a major source of tourist
income; both foreigners and
natives come by the busload to see
it.
Also, there are many historic
sites ancient tombs of former
emperors, 2,000 years old; neo
lithic archeological village sites,
more than 6,000 years old that
attract tourists and support the

My visit to China was enlight
ening and fun, if one can discount
the long flight to get there.
China is anything but a back
ward or underdeveloped nation.
Our college colleagues there
were well-educated and up-to
date. Their electronic support with
computers is the latest in the
industry. The people and hotels, in
particular, seem to want to Wes
ternize and Anglicize fast
Streets, highways and turnpikes
are wide and clean, and many are
lined with rows and rows of pop
lars and cedars. Audis, Mercedes,
Volvos, Volkswagens, Toyotas
and Mazdas are everywhere, join
ing the thousands of bicycles
already on the roads.
But a dairy industry still seems
to be waiting to happen.
Does this mean that the world’s
leading dairy industries the
United States, New Zealand, Den
mark and Israel to name a few,
have not yet reached China?
Is there a market for U.S. dairy
exports, including milk and
cheese products, semen, ova,
breeding stock, and extensive
experience and knowledge?
It seems to me that the 1,2 bil
lion Chinese consumers offer a
tremendous market opportunity
for the U.S. dairy industry. At the
very least, we’d be supplying a
nation undernourished in calcium
with the milk and milk products
that help prevent osteoporosis.

Southern Maryland growers in
terested in using the “Southern
Maryland Harvest” boxes should
be able to demonstrate their ability
to properly grade and pack their
Emits and vegetables. Tliis aspect
is a critical component in the over
all success of the logo and its ac
ceptance by buyers and consum
ers. It is hoped that over time the
logo will gain a reputation for rep
resenting the highest quality local
ly grown products and as a result it
will build a type of brand loyalty
commitment among its customers.
It is anticipated that the “South
ern Maryland Harvest” box prices
will be comparable to the regular
stock boxes. In addition to tomato
boxes, the logo will be available
on 'A bushel, 1 bushel, and 1 1/9
bushel boxes. The boxes will be
available only through SMRFM.
