About JDIA
The percentage of Japanese dairy farmers’ raw milk production to gross agricultural production in Japan is approximately 8%, equivalent to 700 billion yen. In addition, the value of dairy industry shipments is more than 2 trillion yen, which is about 10% of food manufacturers’ industrial shipments. In this way, the dairy farm industry forms the basis of agriculture and food industries in Japan.
In this way, the dairy farming business is an industry formed by various collaborators who develop the process of raw milk production and its products. As a part of this dairy industry, we strive to maintain the quality and safety of milk production/products. Great effort is made to improve the reliability of the relationship not only between us and consumers, but also with people involved in this industry.
Milk and dairy products contain essential nutrition to keep people from young to old healthy. In recent years, new research has proven the health benefits of milk and dairy products. We will make every effort to share accurate and updated information of milk and dairy products including any new findings.We hope to receive your continued patronage for Japanese milk and dairy products.
Introduction to Japanese milk and milk products
「Discover JAPAN MILK」
Milk and milk products produced in Japan are an essential food to maintain healthy body for all generations in Japan, and those are consumed as an ensured safe food.
Japanese dairy farmers and milk manufacturers conduct their products with intensive quality control to produce various kinds of dairy products such as milk, yogurt, butter, cheese and ice cream. These products are utilized regularly in various occasions, not only as day-to-day food at home but also as ingredients to cook and produce dairy products.
We made a video to introduce the characteristic aspects of Japanese dairy and milk products. It is organized in four parts: “dairy farmer”, “milk hauler”, “quality control chief” and “restaurant chef”. They will appear in each of their parts. You will see their perspectives to their work: hygiene management for keeping high quality, repetition of accurate operation, and their persistence to milk products. Their professional dignity in those work will be shown in this footage.
We sincerely wish you will discover the “profound taste” of Japanese dairy products in our video.
