a2 Milk expands China partnership to include English label products
The a2 Milk Company announced an expansion of its long-term strategic cooperation with China State Farm Agribusiness Holding Shanghai (CSFA), a subsidiary of the state-owned China National Agriculture Development Group. The new agreement adds English label infant milk formula products, starting with a2 Genesis from early 2026, to the existing exclusive import and distribution partnership covering China label products.
CSFA has been a2 Milk’s distribution partner since 2013, helping grow its China label range to over 100 distributors and around 30,000 mother-and-baby stores nationwide. The extended deal will streamline logistics and warehousing, strengthen control over English label distribution, and enhance brand confidence through collaboration with a state-owned enterprise.
a2 Genesis, launched in the second half of 2025, targets the premium segment with human milk oligosaccharides supporting gut health and immunity. The agreement was formalized at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, highlighting both companies’ ongoing cooperation in China’s dairy nutrition market.
