In 2024, the ADP factory of Ausnutria, Yili's subsidiary in Australia, obtained a formula registration certificate, becoming the first Australian company granted approval for the full range of infant formula products. This milestone marks a significant breakthrough for Yili's operations in Australia and is expected to greatly enhance the global competitiveness of its infant formula offerings, offering superior quality assurance for maternal and infant health. Yili's Australian subsidiary, Nutrition Care, is a professional, pharmacy-grade nutrition brand. Its flagship product, NC Gastrointestinal Powder, has maintained the top position in China's adult gastrointestinal healthcare compound powder market for several consecutive years. Recently, its probiotic product, NC Seasonal Biotic, also achieved top-selling status among Australian probiotic brands for nasal health. Expanding Global Industrial Footprint In neighboring New Zealand, Yili's business continues to advance steadily. After more than a decade of continuous investment and development, the company's industrial presence in New Zealand now spans the entire value chain, including dairy sourcing, innovative R&D, manufacturing, and brand marketing. Yili operates six production bases and offers a diverse product portfolio ranging from liquid milk, milk powder, butter, cheese, cream, yogurt, lactoferrin, to bovine colostrum. Yili has established partnerships with over 400 local farms, establishing itself as the largest Chinese dairy investor in New Zealand in terms of both scale and scope of cooperation. This strategic layout not only strengthens Yili's position as a key player in the global supply chain but also injects new vitality into the dairy industry across the Australia–New Zealand region, successfully establishing a trans-Pacific dairy corridor. Looking ahead, Yili will continue to uphold an open and collaborative approach, further expanding its global market presence through technological innovation and global resource integration, with the aim of providing consumers worldwide with premium health food and promoting sustainable development across the industry.

Emerging Technologies Shaping the Food Encapsulation Industry
Food encapsulation is a process in which active ingredients such as flavor, vitamins, probiotics, or nutrient are attached within a protective coating to preserve their stability, increase the shelf life and control their release during processing or digestion. The growth of food encapsulation industry is inspired by the increasing demand for functional and stronghold foods, increasing health awareness among consumers, progress in micro and Nano-encapsulation technologies and the growing requirement of clean and shelf-stable products in the food and beverage industry. Key Growth Drivers and Opportunities Benefits of Encapsulation for Food Industry: Encapsulation technique has been used to increase the stability, specificity and bioavailability of large-scale essential food items. Additionally, it plays an important role in improving the quality of the product and reducing production costs. Encapsulation helps protect sensitive ingredients from decline due to factors such as oxygen, light, moisture or chemical reactions. This can expand the shelf life of the product and preserve its quality. Challenges The food encapsulation faces many borders, including high production costs and complex manufacturing processes, especially for advanced technologies such as Nano encapsulation. Regulatory challenges and safety concerns, especially synthetic or nanomaterial, may obstruct adoption, related to encapsulating materials. Additionally, consumer doubts about limited scalability, component bioavailability and tastes maintained and processed or modified foods can restrict comprehensive market development for some techniques. Innovation and Expansion Cellva Reveals a Cocoa Alternative Using Groundbreaking Microencapsulation Technology In April 2025, in a recent strategy shift, Cellva has refocused its efforts on microencapsulation technology, which it believes is essential to its future expansion. In order to streamline its operations and strengthen its dedication to sustainable food solutions, this change is being complemented by the consolidation of its administrative and research and development departments. Cellva is employing its unique process to turn used coffee husks into a useful, sustainable product by concentrating on microencapsulation. Yili and Xampla Collaborate to Investigate Next-Generation Nutrient Microcapsule Technology In July 2024, The Yili Innovation Centre Europe and UK-based materials technology company Xampla have teamed together to implement Xampla's nutrition microcapsule technology. The plant-based packaging material preserves beverage components throughout the production and digesting processes without altering the flavor or texture of the final product. By integrating cutting-edge fortification technology, the business will expedite the introduction of its nutritious microcapsules to international markets. It just signed a multi-year supply agreement with Huhtamaki for foodservice container coatings devoid of plastic. Inventive Sparks, Expanding Markets The food encapsulation market consists of companies Acients Basaf SE, Kargil, Incorrect, DuPont, Frislandcamina, Givaudan and others. Major players are implementing strategies such as acquisition, merger, partnership and others.

How to greet your Chinese relatives in Cantonese – do you know your gu fu from your yi ma?
One of the most basic but important parts of Chinese etiquette is knowing how to greet your older relatives correctly. Advertisement Ancient Chinese society placed a strong emphasis on hierarchy and respecting seniors, something that continues to be observed in contemporary Chinese culture. The practice of a verbal greeting, often combined with a hand gesture, can be traced back to a collection of ancient Confucian texts – Zhouli (The Rites of Zhou), Yili (The Book of Etiquette and Ceremonial) and Liji (The Book of Rites) – that depict Chinese ceremonies and etiquette. Unlike in many countries, where calling your uncles and aunties by their name is common, the Chinese have a more elaborate kinship system that assigns a specific term to every family member based on their relative age, gender and generation. For example, when greeting your father's older sister's husband in Cantonese, you would call him gu cheung, whereas your mother's older sister's husband would be called yi cheung. Both are your uncles by marriage, but they do not have the same term. Chinese people have a kinship system that assigns a specific term to every family member based on their relative age, gender and generation.
