Agriculture: Boost dairy industry growth

About one million herdsmen households in China will benefit from a 100
million yuan (12.5 million US dollars) government subsidy this year,
according to China's Ministry of Agriculture.
The program, which subsidizes herdsmen to raise more pedigree dairy cows,
aims to boost the development of the country's dairy industry. Small
numbers of pedigree dairy cows and relatively low output per cow have
hampered the industry's growth, according to a ministry working meeting
held Tuesday in Yinchuan, capital of Northwest China's Ningxia Hui
Autonomous Region.
Herdsmen in 178 counties in 22 provinces, municipalities and autonomous
regions will receive 30 yuan (3.75 US dollars) for each European Holstein
cow and 20 yuan (2.5 US dollars) for each of several superior domestic
dairy cow breeds, the ministry said.
The money will subsidize a total of 3.47 million pedigree dairy cows, it
added.
