To set itself Yili focused on research and development and advanced methods to enhance the sector.
Demonstrating that it could change industry standards and lead a nation not accustomed to dairy consumption, to a point where demand is outpacing supply, the Yili Group is making its mark to go international. As an Official Promoter of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing and the Official dairy provider of the games, it is gambling that the brand can go farther beyond China.
