Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to encourage exports of powdered milk to China.

The Chinese market for powdered milk is very valuable and represents a significant opportunity for UK businesses. UK Government support and encouragement is assisting them to capitalise on this: last year UK exports of powdered milk to China reached £5.9 million, an increase in value of 89% from 2010.
