Among other things this product is not simply "powdered milk', which is expensive enough as it is.
If one must feed their child powdered milk then buy them powdered milk, e.g. Carnation, or Dumex Plain, which is advertised at Topps, 199 baht for 900 gram box.

Marketing to make money.
Outlandish claims that Thais believe.
Mothers milk then full milk at 1 year is best for baby.
Better than chemical powered milk

Agree, plus our respected pediatrician gave thumbs down to all the products plastered with all these symbols, increased Ei and genius claims etc., and said there is very little evidence to support any of these claims, and said the same thing as you mentioned:

 

- Mothers milk as long as possible,

- Very mushy solids as soon as the baby seems to swallow easily, but slowly to start, then to less mushy and then small amount of solids...

- Mothers milk supplemented by whole fresh cows or goats milk from about 9 months, with the small boxes of UHT milk for convenience, or just the UHT milk. Never fresh or UHT milk with added sugar or any other sweeteners.

It is expensive because that's the price the market will bear. New parents typically love their children and will pay a ridiculously high price for dried milk, wanting to buy only the best for the fruit of their loins.  It's very similar with pet food, which is also ridiculously overpriced.

Dried milk isn't the best, mother milk is

May come down to various things. For example, medical reasons why a mother cannot breastfeed, may also be lifestyle reasons - work related for example. Then there are also personal reasons, however, from the mothers I have spoken to usually the personal reasons do not outweigh the benefits of breastfeeding. The Public Health officials do push breastfeeding to new mothers and do create advertising programs re the benefits of breastfeeding in Thailand.

In terms of cows milk, powdered milk is supposedly easier to digest for babies. And cow milk shouldn't be used before 1 year old from memory. After that it is fine. But, also there is the thought of the added risk of contamination of milk in Asian countries. Back in Melbourne for example, shoppers were limited to 4 powdered milks due to the Chinese buying them and sending them back home (didn't trust the milk in China). Also when there is a milk crisis farmer feed low quality foods (financial reasons), leading to low quality milks. 

 

Terms of price, well they can make it whatever price they want. The same with many supplements. The majority of people can get it naturally, but choose not to. Those with legitimate reasons to buy it, end up being unlucky having to fork out so much.

in actual fact they found out the chinese(mainly students) were making $2,000 plus a week by sending it home in bulk to sell as well as selling it online  for many times the price they paid. Australian mothers were complaining because the chinese would be there when the shops opened and take every single container of it(often by the box) so that no one else could buy it but none of the chinese  had babies, purely to resell and make a lot of money.

Obviously that aspect came into it. But that only came about in the first place due to milk being contaminated back in China.

Plus let's be realistic we, unfortunately, live in an overboard capitalist environment and that includes Australia and China, do whatever you want to to make money.
