セブンイレブン　学校の休み期間の牛乳利用した新商品（沖縄テレビ）2026/06/05

Convenience stores and dairy farmers exchanged ideas on how to utilize milk produced during the summer vacation period when school lunches are suspended. Seven-Eleven Okinawa is working on developing new products such as bread and sweets using milk produced during the summer vacation period when school lunches are not available. On the 4th, they visited dairy farmers in Yaese Town to hear from producers. Since more than 30% of the milk produced is supplied to school lunches, it is hoped that this will resolve the issue of needing to adjust supply and demand by more than 1,000 tons during the summer vacation period and create new sales channels for Okinawan milk. Michiyo Taba, Director of the Okinawa Prefectural Dairy Farming Agricultural Cooperative: The fact that the raw milk, which was a major concern during the school closure period, has been transformed into a processed food loved by local people is a great joy for producers. The new products are scheduled to go on sale in early August.
