Wellness News PH | Yili Group’s Senior Executive President Liu Chunxi highlighted cross-border dairy collaboration at the 8th Australia-China CEO Roundtable held in Beijing on July 15. With deepening ties between both nations, Yili continues to scale its investments and partnerships across Australia and New Zealand.
What’s New?
At the high-profile CEO Roundtable, Liu Chunxi emphasized how Australia’s agricultural advantages pair well with China’s booming health food market and digital expertise. The meeting spotlighted how this synergy lays a strong foundation for deeper cooperation between the two dairy powerhouses.
From Labs to Shelves
Yili’s presence in Australia began in 2016 and has since evolved into a robust partnership across raw material sourcing, dairy tech R&D, and health-focused products. As of 2025, the company’s total trade and investment in the region exceeds RMB 3 billion.
A major recent milestone: Yili’s Ausnutria subsidiary secured Australia’s first full-spectrum infant formula certification in 2024, a game-changer in boosting both quality and export reach. Meanwhile, its Nutrition Care brand continues to dominate China’s adult gastrointestinal health category — and is now making waves in Australia with top-selling probiotic products like NC Seasonal Biotic.
Global Dairy Footprint
In nearby New Zealand, Yili’s decade-long commitment has transformed into a full industrial ecosystem — from dairy farms to marketing. With six production bases and partnerships with over 400 farms, Yili is now the largest Chinese dairy investor in the country.
Its Oceania footprint includes a wide product line: from yogurt and milk powder to colostrum and lactoferrin. By establishing this trans-Pacific dairy corridor, Yili is reshaping the regional dairy landscape.
About the Company
Yili continues to push boundaries in global nutrition and sustainability. The company plans to further expand internationally, blending technology, local resources, and innovation to offer high-quality health products to more consumers worldwide.
