The construction of the second phase of the Hinggan League's Yili project is now on the agenda. After the project is fully completed and put into operation, it will generate a daily output of 1,500 tons of milk. It is also expected to stimulate local planting, breeding, feed processing, dairy processing, logistics, packaging and other auxiliary industries.
