    While it is well possible that the A2 IF using so far the Daigou channel finds another way into China, I don't think there is a guarantee that it will be as efficient ...
    And then there is always the competition.....even organic!

    The struggling China is still battle with its own quality record. People don't take it as thing come thing goes.
    We are talking about the demand for high class people to ensure their babies are safe and healthy to other classes. A2M is a brand of unchangable.

    If Daigou can not take home the A2M tins, mean the demand within the country does increase. E=MC2
    Turn around the baby's capacity requirement for A2M is the same. It is just same seat different plane.

    Nothing new, it was in the top 10 last year as well and it probably will be next year. PS-It still hasn't dropped as far as it did in 2018/19 from its high either. There really is nothing new under the sun here as much as you and a few others might try and say otherwise.

    A2 is also beneficial for Lactose intolerant people, China supports one of the largest populations likely with lactose issues, unlike Europeans who had been digesting Dairy for longer periods of time but also have large numbers who suffer from lactose issues.

    A2 is a big brand now and a good team driving the helm, just like coca-cola, we all know it to be good bad and ugly but people still buy it for its name.

    The way the world's going who knows maybe another large baby powder panic buy is on its way driving the price back up.

    Not exactly like A2 is struggling as a business.

    A2 is no better for the truly lactose intolerant - it contains the same lactose in the same quantities as regular milk. It is missing the A1 protein which some who think they are lactose intolerant may actually be reacting to.

    The outcome is the same - lots of people who cannot tolerate regular milk are fine with A2. This is a huge selling point. Add in the longer term impact of less risk of heart disease, diabetes and various other conditions and it's an obvious decision.

    I also believe China is doing amazing with pulling many of its own people out of poverty I think something like 850 million people, that's a lot of middle class looking for good quality products. The Chinese sure love good brands.

    Again though good bad or ugly it's the name, I have seen coca cola take rust of a car bumper and renew dirty old coins yet how much of that stuff is consumed every year

    Yeah, they are in a trade wars with the USA cause Trump wants to isolate American to do the same thing but local and MAGA but china needs trade and without buying foreign products who will want to return the interest in trade.

    I think NZ is way of Chinas trade exclusion radar
