Most of the existing literature focus on the cultivation of crops and vegetables, and lack relevant research of the Chinese dairy industry. Meanwhile there lacks micro data on adoption of raw milk safety measures by Chinese smallholder dairy farmers in the macro context of changing dairy industry. To fill this gap, a field survey was conducted in Inner Mongolia, which has the largest raw milk production base, dairy enterprises and diversified production types. An objective of this paper is to study key determinants of smallholder dairy farmers’ adoption of selected measures under China GAP. Based on the existing literature and first-hand data, we examined the influencing factors on adoption of raw milk safety measures from internal drives and external requirements. Moreover, considering the significant change in production structure of Chinese dairy industry, a particular focus is placed on the role of changing dairy farming structure, such as dairy farming scale and production types on the adoption of milk safety measures
