Introduction: Brazil becomes the number one soybean supplier in the world Under the support of market awareness and government policies, from 2003 to 2004, Brazil's soybean planting area was 21.244 million hectares, with a total output of 52 million tons, ranking second in the world; its export volume was 23.2 million tons, creating a foreign exchange of more than 8 billion US dollars, accounting for about 1 / 5 of the country's total agricultural income, surpassing the United States for the first time and becoming the world's largest soybean exporter In addition, Brazil is also the first tropical country in the world to plant soybeans in low latitudes It is reported that in the port of Paranagua, the main distribution center of soybeans in southern Brazil, there are several kilometers of long snake lines of transport trucks from soybean producing areas all over the country every day, waiting for shipment to all over the world China's milk calf import demand is strong According to Australian business daily, Australian milk calves still have a good market prospect, mainly for export market However, in order to expand the population rapidly, the dairy farms in China still need to import a large number of cows from abroad The paper cited an August report by Australian Dairy Journal that said domestic milk consumption in China is growing at an annual rate of 20% To maintain this speed, the key factor is to rely on the Australian dairy import plan To meet China's demand for milk and dairy products, China needs about 18 million cows, which is 10 million more than the current number of cows in China China bought 9400 cows from Australia in 2002, and increased to 44000 in 2003 But Nicholas hunt, a senior dairy expert in Australia, and some other dairy industry people are worried about this situation Nicholas hunt said: China's demand is not necessarily happy for the Australian dairy industry This large number of exported calves is undoubtedly equivalent to the whole dairy industry in Western Australia exported to China, which may not be possible, but we can't help but pay attention Our country has become the world's first soybean importer reporter recently learned from the 17th soybean scientific research and production seminar of the soybean Professional Committee of the Chinese crop society that in recent years, due to the decline of the total soybean output in China and the sharp increase of consumption demand, the soybean supply is in serious shortage, our country has changed from the original world's largest soybean producer to the world's largest importer According to relevant experts, since 1996, China has turned from a net soybean exporter to a net soybean importer, and the import volume has increased sharply year by year At present, China's annual soybean demand is as high as 22 million tons, while the annual output of domestic soybean is only maintained at about 15 million tons The soybean supply situation is very severe, and a large number of imports become the only way to solve the domestic soybean consumption demand Another main reason for the continuous surge of soybean import in China is the sharp expansion of production capacity of domestic crushing enterprises and the sharp rise of market demand However, due to poor quality and high purchase and transportation costs, domestic soybean can not meet the requirements of domestic crushing enterprises, so these enterprises turn to rely on import in large quantities EU dairy companies are optimistic about the Chinese market from the French industry sources said that the recent EU dairy market situation is not optimistic, some enterprises have turned their attention to the Chinese market Previously, due to the reduction of raw milk production caused by the dry climate in Europe, all kinds of dairy raw materials were in short supply in the EU market; in addition, after the ten Eastern European countries joined the EU, they gradually adjusted the price of dairy raw materials, which is basically the same as other EU countries Despite the recent increase in rainfall, raw milk production will improve However, some enterprises with strategic vision in the European Union have changed from exporting to China to purchasing, indirect holding or direct investment, and the market transformation has become increasingly prominent, which indicates a sign that at present, the external price of dairy products in the European Union is rising on the basis of the previous price New hope dairy executives went to the United States to learn from experience in order to improve the level of dairy production and raw milk quality management Recently, some production managers of the milk source system of new hope dairy participated in the "China dairy study mission to the United States" (referred to as the mission) organized by the American Grain Association The delegation participated in cow production training at the University of California, Davies and the University of Wisconsin, including the control and treatment of mastitis, the design of cow farm facilities and cow comfort, cow nutrition and environment, silage production technology, high-yield cow full mixed diet technology, milking procedures and cleaning and disinfection of milking machines, quality control of raw milk, dairy farm economy Courses of management and management, cow breeding technology and application, cow identification and cow group improvement, etc., and participated in the related internship content, and visited more than ten dairy farms in California (the first state of cows) and Wisconsin (the second state of cows).
