5-10 percent growth to be expected in the milk industry

Similarly to the previous year, another 5-10 percent growth is to be expected at the milk-industry this year – László Lukács, executive director of Dairy Professional Association pointed out on Friday, within the compass of a professional forum in Budapest.

The consumption frequency of consumed dairy products and margarine in the course of
different meals was examined from the data of
the 1000-strong representative survey carried
out in Hungary. It can be clearly stated that Hungarian citizens consume some kind of dairy
products on 240 days of the year for breakfast, followed by supper at 188 times a year, and
lunch is last at 62 times a year. If we examine the composition of the products consumed in
the course of different meals, it can be stated that liquid milk is head and shoulders above
other dairy products for breakfast. It is follow
ed by cheeses, but these are consumed 30% less
often than liquid milk, with flavoured dairy products third. Sour cream and curds are the
most popular dairy products for lunch. The number of non-consumers here is the highest,
with 19% of the answerers claiming never to consume any dairy products for lunch. Liquid
milk and cheeses are also the most popular dairy products at supper. Yoghurt appears third,
though it was not among the five most consumed products in case of the two previous meals.
