During the conference, Manager Wang Bin conducted a thorough analysis of the advantages and challenges faced by milk bar owners. He highlighted the benefits of owning dairy farms, such as access to fresh, high-quality milk at a low cost, and the brand influence derived from economies of scale. However, he also acknowledged the difficulties, including unclear brand positioning, limited product research and development capabilities, high operational costs, and ineffective promotion methods.

To address these challenges, Manager Wang Bin proposed four solutions for milk bar owners:

1.Establish a clear brand positioning focused on providing high-quality food and functional gifts.

2.Form strategic alliances and outsource technology to enhance product development capabilities.

3.Implement measures to reduce operational costs and increase revenue.

4.Utilize WeChat mall platforms to promote products and streamline sales channels.

Additionally, the Shandong Dairy Association unveiled an action plan titled "Revitalizing the Dairy Industry, Responsible for Mission," aligning with the objectives outlined in the No. 1 Central Document. This initiative aimed to bring together stakeholders from various sectors, including the grass industry, breeding industry, and livestock product supply chain, to explore strategies for developing and utilizing coarse feed resources, reducing dairy cow costs, increasing farmer income, enhancing market adaptability, and fostering the healthy and sustainable growth of the dairy industry.

The 3rd Shandong Province Rough Feed Conference in 2017 marked a significant milestone in these collective efforts and was deemed a resounding success.
