[Anmuda-Industry News] In March 2026, Liaoning Province officially released
a specia subsidy policy for integrated dairy farming and processing projects,
providing substantial financial support to dairy farms in the province to extend their industrial chain, promote high-quality development of the dairy industry,
further improve the regional dairy industry ecosystem, and inject new momentuminto the industry's development.It is understood that this subsidy policy was first issued by the Liaoning Provincial Dairy Industry Association. It is in response to the deployment requirements of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on the integrated development of dairy farming and processing, and is formulated in combination with the actual development of the dairy industry in Liaoning. It is one of the important measures for Liaoning Province to continuously improve the dairy subsidy policy and cultivate new agricultural business entities in the dairy industry. It forms a synergistic effect with the province's continued construction of the advantageous and distinctive dairy cattle industry cluster and the improvement of dairy production capacity, and comprehensively helps the dairy industry chain to extend upstream and downstream.
This subsidy policy focuses on the core of "integrated planting, breeding, and processing," providing targeted support to dairy farming entities with the ability to extend their industrial chain. Key policy points are as follows:
First, the subsidy recipients are clearly defined to accurately cover core entities. The subsidies are targeted at dairy farms (ranches) in Liaoning Province that engage in integrated farming, breeding, and processing. The focus is on supporting ranches to extend their industrial chain by building their own dairy processing facilities, opening milk bars, or outsourcing processing, thereby promoting deep integration of breeding and processing, achieving an integrated "from ranch to end" layout, and increasing the added value of the industry. This approach aligns closely with national policies promoting the revitalization of the dairy industry and supporting dairy farmers in developing dairy processing, helping to build a sound production and management system based on large-scale dairy farming.
Second, the subsidy standards have been refined, and policy support has been strengthened. The subsidy is based on the annual fresh milk processing capacity of the dairy farm, with a maximum subsidy of 1,000 yuan per ton. A maximum subsidy cap has also been set for each farm, with a single farm eligible for up to 4 million yuan in subsidies. This approach balances the development needs of large-scale farms and small and medium-sized farms, supporting both the upgrading
and transformation of large farms and the improvement of processing capacity in small and medium-sized farms. Previously, Liaoning Province had already issued
relevant policies, providing a subsidy of 400,000 yuan to dairy farms with a
total investment of over 800,000 yuan for upgrades and transformations. This newsubsidy policy further increases support, forming a tiered subsidy system.
Third, the policy clarifies the application guidelines and standardizes the project implementation process. The policy prioritizes supporting integrated models such as self-built processing facilities, milk bars, and contract processing by ranches.
It adopts a "build first, subsidize later" and "reward-based subsidy" approach to
support relevant entities, ensuring that subsidy funds are accurately allocated. Specific application conditions, required materials, timelines, and review procedures will be subject to official application notices subsequently issued by the Liaoning Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and local municipal agricultural and rural affairs bureaus. All livestock farms should closely monitor official channels and apply in a timely manner to enjoy the policy benefits.
From an industry value perspective, the implementation of the Liaoning dairy industry's integrated farming and processing subsidy policy will not only reduce the processing costs of dairy farms and stimulate their development, but also promote the extension of the dairy industry from the "farming end" to the "processing and consumption end," improving the industrial chain and enhancing the overall competitiveness of the regional dairy industry. At the same time, the policy-driven integration of large-scale, standardized farming and processing will further
ensure the quality and safety of raw milk, meet consumer demand for high-quality dairy products, and help the rural revitalization strategy take root and flourish in the dairy sector.
Anmuda will continue to monitor the dynamics of dairy industry policies across the country, promptly identify industry development opportunities, and provide partners and industry colleagues with accurate policy information and industry insights to help the dairy industry achieve high-quality development.
