China has its per capita consumption of dairy products remain relatively low, despite being one of the world's largest producers and consumers of such products, the Dairy Association of China said on Saturday.

The association put China's per capita dairy consumption at around half the average in Asia, and one third the world average.

Consumption of diary products has become increasingly common in Chinese cities, but in rural areas it remains low.

An earlier report by the Ministry of Agriculture predicted that per capita dairy consumption would expand by an annualized 2.2 percent for the 2015-2024 period.

In 2014, China produced over 38 million tonnes of milk products, ranking third in the world, and it imported 1.8 million tonnes during the same period, according to the association.
