Comparative advantage of China's beef industry after China's accession to WTO

Introduction: beef is the main component of animal products in China What will be the impact of China's accession to the WTO on beef production? At present, China has become a major beef producer and consumer in the world The total output and consumption of beef account for about 10% of the world's total, ranking fourth only after the United States, Brazil and the European Union From 1980 to 2000, the stock of cattle in China increased from 71.676 million to 128.663 million, with an average annual growth rate of 3.1% The number of cattle on the market increased from 3.322 million to 37.662 million, with an average annual increase rate of 13.6% The total annual output of beef increased from 269000 tons to 5.328 million tons, with an average annual growth of 16.7% Compared with grain crops, the impact of imported beef on beef industry in China is relatively small There are several reasons: beef production has a comparative advantage From the perspective of beef production in China, it has a certain comparative advantage on the whole The average social net income of beef in China is 1.22, that is to say, for every kilogram of beef produced, China will gain 1.22 yuan At the same time, the domestic resource cost coefficient of beef production in China is 0.49, and the comparative advantage is 0.51, which shows that China is suitable for beef production Middle grade beef can satisfy our consumption habit According to international general practice, the difference between high-grade beef and medium-grade beef is mainly based on the size of the eye muscle area (referred to as the inner muscle) There are many ways of cooking beef in our country, such as cooking, frying, stewing, burning and baking Before cooking, beef generally needs to be finely cut and finely cut Therefore, as long as the beef is fresh and tender, that is, the small area of the eye muscle part of the beef does not affect the delicious dishes Fresh beef is the main consumption tendency in China Every beef consumer in our country is a "gourmand" who demands that beef dishes be made fresh and tender Only fresh beef can make dishes that satisfy the gourmet The main beef exporting countries in the world are far away from China, so it is impossible to ship fresh beef to China at a lower cost In addition, the circulation system of beef in China is not complete, and there are a lot of problems in cold storage and preservation technology in the circulation way Therefore, it is very difficult for imported beef to enter the mainland.
