\nIn the aseptic and automatic production workshop of Royal Group Co.,Ltd., a Chinese giant dairy company headquartered in Nanning, capital of south China\u2019s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, thousands of different kinds of dairy products made from buffalo milk roll out the production line.
\n Thanks to the cooperation between China and Pakistan in the field of buffalo breed research, Chinese consumers are expected to taste these buffalo milk and its dairy products added with \u201cPakistani nutrient elements\u201d in the near future, according to the Royal Group
\n \u201cBuffalo milk has high nutritional value and good market prospect, sales of our products has been increasing in recent years,\u201d said Teng Cuijin, vice president of Royal Group, adding that in 2010, buffalo milk products only accounted for 20 percent of the group\u2019s total production volume, but now it has been raised to nearly 50 percent.
