This trend is driven by cultural preferences for natural and organic food options. Additionally, with an aging population, there is an increasing focus on dairy products and eggs that cater to specific health needs, such as those fortified with vitamins and minerals. This has also led to a rise in the popularity of alternative dairy products, such as plant-based milks and dairy-free cheeses.
