>How profitable is dairy anyway
man I have no idea what the hard numbers look like sorry
I'd have to start looking up costs of cows and farmland and milking machines and frozen transport....
basically, it isn't cheap. If you have a good operation with newish machinery and good supply chain, and strong brands that sell, you can still make money. The issue with DF is that all their infrastructure (equipment and logistics) is old and inefficient (there is a whole history with walmart in there).

Something like milk (or any other dairy product) is so healthy and full of life and nutrients that basically every bacteria in the universe just wants to live in it and multiply. That's where a lot of the cost comes from, compared to so many other goods. gotta keep it cold and properly stored from the moment it gets pasteurized to the moment someone buys it in a grocery store.
A lot can go to waste, groceries don't sell all their milk in time and have to throw some away. so that cost gets passed on to the consumer.

I am a DF shill (I was only really encouraging people to buy it two or three Sundays ago when it was around 1.50 and I was re-reading a bunch of cowgirl doujins).
Still up on DF, sold some and some DF options but I'm going to let my remaining shares ride
I won't stop buying BILI. I will continue to shill KHC, SGMO, and a bunch of other good stuff :). Told u all to buy MD, MCK, ABC, CAH when they were low. I probably shill some other stuff too

Actually most of your post seems like you know what you're talking about more than I do
But I still think my last point holds: the Chinese government can't shrug off huge discontent without cratering their economy.
This makes the position of the Chinese rulers much more fragile compared to 50-80 years ago.
If they want to remain a developed country, they have to maintain some level of GDP and pay for the workers who are now 'middle class'. If they don't, the more highly developed parts of their economy could disappear MUCH more quickly than comparable agrarian economic assets. (of course, they might be able to hold some or most regions together by force, but any level of significant discontent can hurt their economic output severely, very fast).
