Modern Dairy's Localization Procurement Policy
As a leading dairy farming operator and raw milk producer, Modern Dairy is committed to providing high-quality fresh milk and dairy products, while establishing long-term, mutually beneficial, and sustainable partnerships with our suppliers.
To achieve the goal of sustainable development, Modern Dairy actively implements a localization procurement policy, establishing long-term and stable cooperative relationships with local farmers, suppliers, and communities, and jointly promoting local economic development and social welfare.
The main contents of the localization procurement policy are as follows:
1. Feed Procurement
Modern Dairy prioritizes purchasing the required feed, equipment, services, and other materials from local sources, supporting the development of the local agricultural industry chain, reducing transportation costs and environmental impacts. Modern Dairy’s feed includes corn, soybean meal, cottonseed, oat grass, etc., which are crops or by-products that local farmers can grow or purchase. Modern Dairy signs stable feed supply contracts with local farmers, purchases their feed at market prices or more favorable prices, and provides technical guidance and quality assurance, helping them improve the yield and quality of their feed.
2. Equipment, Services and Other Materials Procurement
Modern Dairy also purchases the required equipment, services, and other materials from local sources, such as milking machines, transport vehicles, veterinary services, etc., providing stable orders and income for local enterprises, and promoting the development of local industries and services.
3. Entrusted Management of Milk Source
Modern Dairy and local farmers jointly establish milk source bases, providing technical training, quality monitoring, operation guarantee and other services, helping them improve the level and income of dairy cattle breeding. Modern Dairy selects areas suitable for dairy cattle breeding according to the local natural and human conditions, and signs milk source entrusted management agreements with local farmers, incorporating them into Modern Dairy’s milk source system. Modern Dairy provides excellent dairy cattle breeds, advanced breeding techniques, standardized management systems and other services for the milk source bases, and regularly conducts technical training and quality monitoring to ensure that the milk source bases meet Modern Dairy’s standards. At the same time, Modern Dairy assists the milk source bases in matching market channels and purchases their raw milk at market prices. This not only ensures the quality and safety of raw milk, but also increases the income level of farmers.
4. Supplier management

Modern Dairy considers not only price, quantity, time and other factors when signing contracts with local suppliers, but also quality, environmental protection and social responsibility factors, requiring suppliers to comply with Modern Dairy’s relevant standards, and ensuring the quality, safety, nutritional components, historical records, overall performance and other aspects of the qualifications of the feed, equipment, services and other materials provided. Modern Dairy also regularly conducts on-site inspections and audits of suppliers, checking their production facilities, management processes, quality control, environmental protection, social responsibility, and other aspects, and evaluating their comprehensive capabilities and levels.
