Opportunities and challenges coexist in Henan animal husbandry after entering WTO

Introduction: Henan Province is a large province of animal husbandry in agricultural areas In 2000, the province's meat production ranked fourth in the country, and the total egg production ranked second in the country There are many kinds of excellent livestock and poultry in Henan Province After entering WTO, livestock products, especially meat products, will occupy a place in international trade At present, the situation of animal products in Henan Province is as follows: first, the price is low Except for poultry, the price of other livestock products is lower than the international market price The price of pork, beef and mutton is 20%, 30% and 40% respectively Second, the cost of feed will decrease After China's accession to the WTO, a large number of corn imports will reduce the price of feed, thus reducing the production cost of animal husbandry In terms of tariff, except for wool, livestock products are subject to single tariff management By 2004, China will cut the import tariff of major meat products every year (except for wool matching, other major reductions are tariff cuts) Beef will be reduced from 40% to 12%, poultry from 20% to 10%, and pork from 20% to 12% However, due to the obvious price advantage of meat products in China, the import volume of meat products will not be significantly increased due to tariff reduction, so the import of meat products will not have a significant impact The increase in imports is mainly due to the low price of some by-products such as animal offal in foreign countries, because some countries do not eat animal offal, which is cheap in foreign countries In addition, according to expert research, sheep farming may become a bright spot in the future The main reason is that there is a strong demand for mutton market, and the price of mutton in Henan is far lower than that in the international market Meanwhile, there is little epidemic disease of sheep, and there is no outstanding epidemic disease, such as foot-and-mouth disease of pigs, avian influenza of chickens, especially mad cow disease of cattle If we can improve the efficiency of breeding and do well in the prevention and control of epidemic diseases, the sheep industry will undoubtedly get rapid development after China's accession to the WTO, and many experts are very optimistic about the sheep industry in Henan Tpz in addition, according to the analysis of relevant experts, Henan dairy market will be greatly impacted after China's accession to the WTO One is the lack of milk At present, there are only more than 60000 cows in the province, and less than 2000 in 1992 In recent years, the dairy industry in Henan Province has developed rapidly, but it still lags behind the domestic and world average level In 2000, the per capita consumption of milk in Henan Province was only 1.4 kg The national consumption has reached 7 kg per capita, and the per capita consumption in the world is 94 kg Second, the quality of milk is poor, the production process is not standardized, and the quality does not meet international standards Third, the price advantage is not great Now the price of milk powder in the international market is 15% lower than that in the domestic market Fourth, after China's accession to the WTO, the International Dairy Group will adopt the localization policy, and will directly invest in the construction of factories in China, use China's cheap labor and feed, directly produce fresh milk or process dairy products, and sell them in the Chinese market to compete for the domestic fresh milk market Tpz in a word, there are great opportunities for Henan animal husbandry, but also great challenges The main reason is that the quality and food safety of livestock products in Henan Province are in a relative disadvantage Although the meat output of our province is high and the price is low, the export volume in recent two years is less than 1% of the total output Especially in developed countries, "green barriers" are often used to restrict the export of livestock products in Henan Province TPz
