In a statement to the Shanghai Stock Exchange on Wednesday (12 November), Yili said the two sides had decided to establish a milk powder plant in Kansas.
The factory will have an annual output of 80,000 tonnes of milk powder.
The companies are putting a combined US$100m into the venture. DFA will plough $70m into the business – giving it a 70% stake – with Yili putting up the other $30m.
