Why is the price of yogurt generally much higher than that of milk?

High-grade yogurt is expensive because of the high cost of raw milk. The price of high-grade yogurt is much higher than that of ordinary yogurt, which is mainly subject to cost pressure. The raw milk of yogurt can be raw milk or reconstituted milk. In China, most enterprises adopt reconstituted milk. The so-called reconstituted milk yogurt refers to yogurt made by mixing milk powder with water and inoculating lactic acid bacteria.

This does not mean that the nutritional value of this yogurt is inferior, and the quality of the product depends on the quality of the raw milk powder used. If the quality of milk powder is good, the protein content of yogurt made of raw milk will be higher than that of raw milk. But using reconstituted milk, the cost of enterprises will be much lower than using raw milk, and it is controllable, and the cost is 2.6 yuan/kg.

In China, the price of raw milk fluctuates greatly, and the average price is much higher than the international level. At present, the cost price is 4.2 yuan/kg, which is nearly twice that of reconstituted milk. For example, high-end yogurt is made of raw milk. Most foreign yoghurts use raw milk, which is caused by different national conditions. Raw milk abroad is cheap, but if it is made into milk powder for reuse, it will increase the cost. Yogurt takes raw milk as raw material, which has high active nutrition, good taste, strong milk flavor and guaranteed shelf life. For example, the shelf life is 15 days, and only 1% of yogurt in the same batch goes bad within 15 days. Relatively speaking, the proportion of yogurt made from reconstituted milk is much higher during the shelf life.

The best milk collected by dairy enterprises is yogurt, followed by pure milk, milk powder, cheese and so on. This is because yogurt needs active milk, and it is impossible to calculate milk without enough pure milk content. This is true, so in comparison, yogurt is better. . .
