Ministry of agriculture launches "dairy action plan"

Introduction: thousands of dairy processing enterprises in China have an average daily processing capacity of only two or three tons of fresh milk Their production scale is generally small and their competitiveness is not strong The "dairy action plan" to be launched by the agricultural sector this year is expected to improve this situation This is what the reporter learned from the national livestock feed professional meeting held recently Statistics show that in China's fresh milk processing enterprises, enterprises with daily processing capacity of more than 100 tons account for about 5% of the total, while enterprises with daily processing capacity of less than 20 tons account for about 55% Even several large domestic dairy groups, such as Inner Mongolia Yili, Shanghai Guangming, Hebei Sanlu, Heilongjiang Wandashan group, are still small compared with foreign counterparts The average daily processing capacity of dairy processing enterprises in most European and American countries, New Zealand, Australia and other countries is about 2200 tons, and the large ones can reach 4500 tons In 2000, the total sales volume of the top ten dairy processing enterprises in China was 7.042 billion yuan, only 7.2% of that of Nestle, the world's largest dairy processing enterprise According to the analysis of the insiders, China's milk processing enterprises are small in scale, backward in equipment, and lack of talents and technology, so it is very difficult to develop and develop high value-added products, which is difficult to compete with large foreign dairy groups After China's accession to the WTO, with the reduction of the tariff on dairy products, although liquid milk has some advantages in transportation, preservation and the cost of fresh milk in China, the impact on the domestic market may be small, but the milk powder market will face a serious impact on foreign products In addition, it is inevitable for foreign capital to enter the domestic field on a large scale, and the living environment for domestic small-scale processing enterprises is very severe At present, 13 of the top 25 foreign dairy companies in the world have successively entered China In 2000, there were about 45 wholly-owned and joint-venture dairy companies in China, accounting for 36% of the total output value of China's dairy industry The "dairy action plan" to be launched by the Ministry of agriculture proposes to speed up the industrialization, scale, modernization and collectivization of dairy enterprises, encourage and support advantageous enterprises, realize the integration of assets, brands and operation through asset restructuring, merger and acquisition, and strong alliance, and then form a national dairy group that can compete with large foreign enterprise groups.
