Milk more popular than ever

In the busy streets of Hong Kong, there is a new soft drink everybody craves. Believe it or not, it is milk! Sales of full-cream UHT milk in the city are booming,  One-litre cartons of full- cream UHT milk has on occasion been even more popular than the world’s most popular drink, Coca-Cola. The product is sold in the 759 Store snack chain, which has 280 branches in Hong Kong. UHT full-cream milk produced in Jersey has become the drink of choice among families and young consumers.

Dairy chairman Andrew Le Gallais said: “We are regularly in the top ten of drink sales in our Hong Kong stores but to get to number one position and above Coca-Cola is really fantastic news, especially as it is a big place with a population of more than 7 million. Milk is proven to be a very nutritional drink and these people get it big time.” To read more about this, click HERE.
