Top Chinese dairy company Yili Group inaugurated its research and development center in Wageningen University on Tuesday, becoming the first such Chinese R&D center in Europe.
Pan Gang,
president of Yili, said Europe would become the most important part of the
company's R&D systems. "We shall not only cooperate with the top
research institutions, but also continue to conduct global research. We will
also invite global experts into our R&D team," he said.
The center
will focus on milk cow cultivation, dairy product research and food safety.
Wageningen
University and its R&D center are leading scientific research institutions.
With over 15,000 researchers, the surrounding area of the university is known
as the European "food valley" with global food and nutrition research
clusters.
The
chairman of Wageningen University Aalt Dijkhuizen said as the largest consumer
market for dairy products in the world, China supplies the milk for a sixth of
the world's population, which is an extraordinary achievement.
"Wageningen
University looks forward to cooperating with Yili in promoting the progress of
the global dairy industry," Dijkhuizen said.
