This trend is driven by factors such as lactose intolerance, environmental concerns, and changing dietary preferences. Additionally, there has been a noticeable shift towards organic and locally produced dairy products, reflecting a growing preference for natural and sustainable food options. This has also led to an increase in small-scale dairy farms and artisanal dairy products, catering to the demand for high-quality and ethically sourced milk products.
