There are around 245 million cows producing milk across the world. The European Union is the largest milk producer and has about 25 million dairy cows. This compares with 10 million in North America and nearly 6 million in Australia and New Zealand. Milk production is also on the increase in South-East Asia, including countries not traditionally noted for their milk consumption, such as China, which now has over 12 million cows producing milk.
