Will the era of monopoly of edible oil industry come when the elimination competition begins?  

Introduction: new page 1 "now we are ready to wait for the official promulgation and implementation of the new national standard for edible oil, and we are also ready to adapt to the market access system and genetically modified labeling system." Mr He, the quality assurance department of Hubei Tianyi Technology Co., Ltd., which mainly produces rapeseed salad oil, told reporters Since WMG launched this year, with the introduction of relevant national regulations and standards, "has your product been genetically modified?" "Meet the new edible oil standard?" "Is there a QS mark for food quality and safety market access?" These three questions have been haunting the domestic edible oil production enterprises, because the "three questions" are not well answered, it is likely to be eliminated The new standard of WMG edible oil raises the threshold of WMG It is understood that with the approval of the General Administration of quality supervision, inspection and Quarantine of the people's Republic of China, five national standards for edible vegetable oil products, such as cottonseed oil, sunflower seed oil, camellia oil, corn oil and rice bran oil, will be officially implemented from October 1 this year In addition, there are eight compulsory national standards for edible oil, such as peanut oil, soybean oil and rapeseed oil, which will be implemented soon According to people familiar with the matter, the eight edible oil standards were originally scheduled to be promulgated and implemented on August 1 this year, but now it seems to be postponed Since China has officially joined the WTO, the standards for such bulk international trade products as soybean oil and peanut oil must be notified to the WTO in accordance with the agreement on technical barriers to trade of the WTO, and the WTO shall perform the notification obligation to the relevant trade areas If no objection is raised within 90 days, the new standards can be formally implemented However, the implementation of the new standard is on the way, sooner or later WMG reported that the new edible oil standard made a mandatory requirement for the traditional processing technology of edible vegetable oil - squeezing and leaching, which must be clearly marked on the product packaging According to experts, for the edible oil produced by the leaching method (i.e the gasoline leaching method), there will be a small amount of residual gasoline in the product oil (but it will not pose a threat to human health); while the traditional physical pressing process, i.e the traditional physical pressing process, will not have chemical residues Therefore, considering the psychology of consumers, the edible oil produced by pressing process seems to be more marketable In addition, it is forbidden to simply mark "cooking oil" and "salad oil" on the products in the new standard, but to indicate the specific grade According to the quality, all cooking oil will be divided into four grades Industry insiders pointed out that the phenomenon of palm oil blending in soybean oil and vegetable oil was relatively serious in the early stage of China, and the concept of "blended oil" was also on the rise, but after the new standard was issued, the grade must be clearly marked, and the concept of "blended oil" will no longer exist WMG as for the oil extraction process, the industry insiders pointed out that the domestic soybean oil extraction rate is not high, compared with the pressing method, the oil extraction rate will be higher with the leaching method, so the domestic soybean oil factories basically adopt the leaching method, in fact, this is a kind of oil extraction process commonly used in the world Faced with the new standard, WMG is easy for some large oil plants Guangxi Fangchenggang Xinhai Oil Industry Co., Ltd is a wholly-owned enterprise of Kerry grain and oil under Guo brothers of Singapore, an international grain and oil giant Mr Pan from the quality assurance department of the company told reporters, "the standard of refined oil is much higher than the national standard, so the introduction of the new standard has little impact on us." Ms Deng Ruihong, manager of Information Department of WMG COFCO futures brokerage Co., Ltd., also told reporters that COFCO's five oil companies, Beihai, Huanghai, Donghai, Nanhai and Haihai, are all joint ventures, and their oil extraction processes are mostly leaching methods, but they have sufficient strength to implement quality control through technological transformation, so it is not a problem to adapt to the new standards WMG, as a result of the new standard in addition to the production process to make a mark, but also on some indicators of the requirements are more stringent, which will make some small and medium-sized oil plants "can not bear." Xiao Jun, an analyst with Shanghai Huiyi Consulting Co., Ltd., believes that the new standard is very unfavorable for small and medium-sized oil plants, because after the implementation of the new standard, consumers may be more inclined to choose edible oil produced by pressing method, which will cause some oil plants produced by leaching method to replace equipment and change process, which requires a lot of cost, and some small oil plants with weak strength will have some difficulties Degree WMg "For small oil plants, the identification is not the most lethal What is fatal is that after the implementation of the new national standard, the requirements for various indicators have increased For example, the requirements for the residual content of gasoline produced by the leaching method are lower Whether some small plants can meet the standards has become a problem, which will lead to the closure of some small plants and the expansion and merger of large oil plants, which will lead to the washing of the whole industry Cards " Hubei Tianyi Technology Co., Ltd quality assurance department Mr He said to reporters WMG market access and genetically modified labeling system are also the trump card of WMG In fact, in addition to the new standard of edible oil, the market access of food quality and safety and the genetically modified labeling system will further intensify the survival of the fittest in the edible oil industry WMG on July 18 this year, AQSIQ issued the "measures for the supervision and administration of quality and safety of food production and processing enterprises" (hereinafter referred to as the "measures"), which first implemented the food quality and safety market access system for five categories of food, including rice, flour, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, etc According to the measures, these five kinds of food without production license are not allowed to enter the market Food meeting the basic requirements of quality and safety must be pasted or printed with "QS" sign Since January 1, 2004, only food with "QS" sign can be sold on the market Analysts pointed out that the implementation of the access system will greatly accelerate the edible oil industry into the era of oligopoly, because a large number of small and medium-sized oil plants that do not meet the relevant technical standards will face bankruptcy due to inadequate capital and technical strength WMg In addition, as early as March 20, 2002, China began to implement the measures for the management of agricultural genetically modified organisms (GMOs) identification, which requires the labeling of foods containing GMOs The Ministry of Agriculture began to check the implementation in the first half of this year The agricultural bureaus of Beijing, Shanghai and other cities successively carried out the supervision and spot check of GMOs identification At present, GMOs have been used to human beings in the world It's not clear whether there is any harm to our health Therefore, the sale of products with genetically modified logo will be affected for the sake of our own health This is also the main reason why many edible oil production enterprises squeezed with genetically modified soybeans will not add genetically modified logo until they have to However, with the strengthening of the implementation of the safety management of agricultural genetically modified organisms, we will not abide by it Legal products will not be sold These enterprises will eventually be "forced to Liangshan", accept the test of the market WMG edible oil industry monopoly era is coming? WMG insiders said that this year is the second year of China's accession to the world trade organization In order to adapt to the new pattern of global business competition after China's accession to the WTO, China's policies and regulations are gradually in line with the international standards The introduction of new standards for edible oil and the implementation of the genetically modified labeling system are the concrete embodiment of this initiative, as well as the protection of consumers' right to know WMg Xiao Jun, an analyst with Shanghai Huiyi Consulting Co., Ltd., said that at present, the crushing capacity in China is growing continuously At the same time, due to the unstable oil prices in some places, the quality of edible oil in some small and medium-sized oil plants is worse than that in large oil plants, and the price fluctuation is large, which is not very conducive to the healthy development of the whole market This series of measures and standards issued by the state also want to rectify the market order To protect the domestic oil extraction industry In the long run, this is good for the whole domestic edible oil market, but the price is: small oil plants are either merged or bankrupt WMG "as far as the implementation of the new standard is concerned, some small and medium-sized oil plants may exceed the standard in terms of solvent content of the oil produced by the leaching method without brand effect, which will cause harm to consumers after entering the market So in terms of the whole oil extraction industry, scale economy is the only way out Only in this way, whether in product quality or in reducing costs, will we gain an advantage " Said Ms Deng Ruihong, manager of Information Department of WMG COFCO futures brokerage Co., Ltd According to another survey by WMG, there are more than 600 brands of edible oil in China, but the three brands of "golden dragon fish", "Fulinmen" and "Luhua" account for 42.20% of the market share, and the market share of big brands is close to monopoly Analysts believe that with the elimination of a number of small and medium-sized edible oil production enterprises, the brand concentration will continue to improve, and the edible oil industry will enter the era of monopoly WMg
