Every year on June 1, World Milk Day is commemorated. According to the FAO, this date was picked because several countries already had a national milk day on or around this day. The date of late May was originally proposed, but several countries, such as China, believed that the month already had too many celebrations. So, while the majority of countries celebrate on June 1, some prefer to do it a week or so before or after.
