The intense competition in China's soybean processing industry is of concern

Introduction: as of the end of 2002, the daily processing capacity of soybean in China has reached over 150000 tons At the beginning of the new year of 2003, the trend of soybean market is hard to grasp, the price of soybean meal is falling sharply, and the increasingly fierce competition of China's soybean processing industry is once again concerned The first problem is that some areas are too intensive: for example, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Dalian and other places, the large oil plants are too intensive, and the processing capacity greatly exceeds the local demand In order to compete for the local soybean meal sales market, the competition between the plants in the same area is inevitable Judging from the recent domestic soybean meal sales, the lowest ex factory price of soybean meal in Jiangsu Province has been reduced to 2120 yuan / ton, which is significantly lower than the sales price of soybean meal of oil factories in Guangdong, Shandong, Hebei and other regions, and the difference between the ex factory price of soybean meal and that of Guangdong oil factory has reached 100 yuan / ton The price of soybean meal in Jiangsu is lower than that in Hebei and Shandong Such low price sales are directly related to the concentration of local oil plants and the competition between them This situation will be fully reflected in Guangdong and other places in the future C 2q II The dispute between northern and southern oil plants C 2q in 2002, four new large-scale oil plants were built in Northeast China, with a daily processing capacity of 6500 tons, five large-scale oil plants to be built and under construction, and an estimated daily processing capacity of 6400 tons Due to the limited sales volume of local soybean meal in Northeast China, especially in Heilongjiang Province, the sales market must be opened up in Guannei until the south of the Yangtze River In 2002, when the new plant of Heilongjiang 93 oil group was put into trial production, some oil plants in the South claimed to establish a "Yangtze River defense line" to squeeze Heilongjiang soybean meal, especially the soybean meal produced by 93 oil group, out of the Jiangnan market At present, due to the limited sales volume of the regional markets in the north of the Yangtze River, it is a good and necessary way for the Northeast soybean meal, especially the soybean meal produced by Heilongjiang oil plant, to be sold to the south of the Yangtze River Therefore, the competition between northern oil plants, especially Heilongjiang oil plants and southern oil plants will become more and more fierce In recent years, China's soybean imports have increased rapidly because domestic soybean can not meet the domestic oil processing demand The import volume was 13.94 million tons in 2001, 11.4 million tons in 2002 and 14 million tons in 2003 In recent years, a large number of large oil plants have been built all over the coast of China At present, soybean meal output in many coastal areas has exceeded local demand It is necessary for coastal oil plants to take measures to sell soybean meal produced by coastal oil plants to China At present, except Hunan, Hubei and Jiangxi, most of the main soybean meal sales areas in China have large-scale oil plants with a daily output of more than 1000 tons Therefore, coastal oil plants and domestic oil plants soybean meal sales will inevitably form a competition In recent years, China's soybean processing industry has developed rapidly, and a number of large, medium and small oil processing plants have been set up in the main soybean meal sales areas At the beginning of the establishment of the oil plants, the first consideration was the soybean meal sales volume in the region Due to the convenience of local sales, low cost, small reduction, economic benefits are relatively better Therefore, all kinds of oil plants must try their best to maintain the sales market in their own region When the soybean meal from other oil plants enters their own sales region, they must take various measures to resist Because the soybean processing capacity of Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Shandong, Jiangsu and other provinces exceeds the local demand, a large part of the soybean meal produced must be sold to other provinces Therefore, it is inevitable that the local oil factories in the soybean meal sales area compete with the other oil factories in the soybean meal sales The dispute between large and small oil plants c2q China's oil processing industry is gradually developing from small to large In previous years, most of China's oil plants were state-owned and collectively owned Due to the planned economy, in order to ensure the supply of local edible oil, the distribution of oil plants is small and large In recent years, with the development of market economy, the ownership of many oil plants has changed Many small and medium-sized oil plants have been changed to state-owned private, joint-stock or private enterprises In recent years, due to the opening of the market and the entry of foreign capital, a large number of large oil plants have been built in China The large-scale oil plants have large production scale and low production cost, so they do have an advantage in the market competition However, once China's small and medium-sized oil plants become state-owned private or private ownership, the production cost will also be greatly reduced Small oil plants operate flexibly and have their own unique advantages Moreover, many small and medium oil plants are located in raw material production areas or soybean meal sales areas They can make money and stop losing money Some oil plants can also do both production and trade After the system of small and medium-sized oil plants has been changed into state-owned private or joint-stock system, especially private ownership, its vitality has become very strong In a short time, it is unrealistic for large oil plants to crush these small ones In the future, China's oil plants want to survive Their geographical location and good raw material procurement and product sales are very important It's also very difficult for them to have a foothold in the market just because of their large scale and low production cost It is understood that in the future, China's support and development of soybean planting will gradually shift from the northeast to the Central Plains in Guannei In recent years, domestic soybean production will increase China's coastal oil plants import soybeans and process them into soybean meal for re export, which does not have a big advantage In recent years, with the rapid development of soybean primary refineries, the contradiction between huge processing capacity and limited demand will inevitably lead to intensified competition in the same industry, and China's soybean oil processing industry is likely to enter a long period of low efficiency Therefore, remind the manufacturers who are going to build and expand, think twice before you go C2q
