Deep processing: coping with the impact of China's accession to the WTO on China's corn industry

Introduction: Recently, the State Planning Commission, the State Economic and Trade Commission and the Ministry of agriculture jointly issued the "Tenth Five Year Plan" for the development of food industry, which listed corn processing industry as one of the main tasks for the development of China's food industry Corn is one of the three major grain varieties in China, and also the main raw material for animal husbandry production, known as the "king of feed" China is the world's largest corn producer, accounting for 1 / 5 of the world's total corn output and 1 / 4 of the country's total grain output China's corn production is low in scale and intensification, low in labor efficiency, 40-50% higher in price than that of the United States, and a certain gap in quality compared with the world's largest production country In recent years, the effect of adjustment of planting structure is not obvious, and producers cannot be provided with reliable information services on corn production, technology, market, etc it is difficult to fight with developed countries in corn market After entering WTO, the corn production in the main production area will face the impact of import At present, 90 million tons of corn are used as feed and industrial raw materials every year in China, accounting for more than 80% of the total corn consumption, which is the largest channel for corn consumption and an important measure to improve the comprehensive benefit of corn But in recent years, the production of animal husbandry and the deep processing of corn in our country are stagnant In terms of animal husbandry production, although China has entered the ranks of the largest animal products production country, the total output of pig, cattle and mutton in 1998 has reached 53.6 million tons, and the output of eggs has reached 21.9 million tons The per capita share of meat, eggs and milk is 43 kg, 17.5 kg and 6.8 kg respectively, which is higher than the world average, However, due to the low degree of industrialization and the lack of high-quality brand-name products, it is also recognized as an epidemic area and lacks competitiveness in the international market The deep processing capacity of corn is only about 10 million tons per year, the processing equipment is backward, the processing cost is high, the variety is small, the grade is low, basically is the primary products of starch, alcohol, monosodium glutamate, there are few secondary and multiple conversion products In recent years, due to the low level of repeated construction, common starch in the domestic market has also been overstocked During the "Tenth Five Year Plan" period of UBA, the corn processing industry will adopt the policy of adjusting and developing simultaneously, adjusting the regional layout and product structure Continue to strengthen the adjustment of product structure and enterprise organization structure of corn processing enterprises in Jilin, Shandong and other major corn producing provinces and regions, and support and develop corn processing industry in the central and western regions Actively develop convenient and nutritious corn food for three meals a day, highlight the coarse and fine combination of staple food, and make the dietary structure of residents more reasonable; vigorously promote the technology of corn dry degerming to produce corn flour with low investment and low pollution, which is used as the production raw material of starch sugar and fermentation products; actively adopt the technology of corn embryo extraction, develop corn oil series products, and open up domestic and international markets; carry out Comprehensive utilization, reduce production costs; actively develop corn protein deep processing, promote feed production, and completely alleviate the situation that corn production is greater than sales In recent years, Jilin Province, with the largest domestic production of UBA, has set an example for other provinces in terms of comprehensive utilization and deep processing of corn Its corn starch production is in the leading position in China Huanglong company and Dacheng company, the corn deep processing enterprises, are well-known not only in China, but also in Asia, and have met the preliminary basic conditions for corn deep processing However, there are still many problems in corn deep processing First of all, there are few deep-seated products, low scientific and technological content, shallow processing level, few end products, insufficient market demand, high risk and low economic benefit; second, there is insufficient processing conversion, the actual production capacity is not saturated, and the transformation and value-added pressure of corn processing is still huge; third, the combination of science and technology and economy needs to be further strengthened At the end of the "Tenth Five Year Plan" period of UBA, we strive to increase the processing capacity of corn from 10% to 15% at present, and reach 8-10 million tons of all kinds of corn industrial food; while reducing environmental pollution, we can relieve the export pressure to a certain extent, and raise the corn processing industry to a new level Uba
