Non-Dairy Milk Drinks.
Dear Friend's,
Non-dairy alternatives to dairy milk and dairy products.
A great deal has happened in this area over the last years. Soya milk drinks and products made from soya milk are available in nearly every supermarket in all industrialised countries. In many supermarkets it is also possible to buy rice or oat milk drinks as well. These products vary in their quality and especially in how they taste. The main thing that stands in the way of soya drinks becoming a staple food is certainly the fact that they are not as well known as dairy milk, but also because they cost more. Concerning the price, it is important to note that in many countries dairy milk is cheaper because of a lower rate of turnover tax placed on the product. In addition, it is common practice for diary farmers to receive public money in the form of subsidies which obviously gives them a huge advantage.There is, of course, nowadays a wide range of yoghurts, desserts, creams, sauces, cheeses and even ice-cream made from soya.
In brief: What is stopping non-dairy products from storming the market ?
There are products which can compete with cows’ milk in terms of price, and, there are also products which taste exceptionally good. But, there is still no product which manages to fulfil both demands at once; to be as cheap as cows’ milk and to taste even better. Such an animal-free product accompanied by the right marketing would have the potential to achieve a breakthrough in the dairy-product sector!
