Food Industry Market Development Trend

The food industry is a “hot” industry in China and a sunrise industry. Both exports and domestic sales are growing rapidly. In the face of the food market with a population of 1.3 billion, Chinese companies are doing, and foreign companies are also doing it. However, after years of development and the pursuit of enterprises, what kind of situation is China's food industry now? How is the trend of development in the next few years? At the China Food and Drink Summit 2012, Du He, deputy secretary-general of the China Food Industry Association, introduced us.

In recent years, despite the impact of the international financial crisis, the European debt crisis and other natural disasters, the Chinese government has always insisted on seeking change in development, seeking development in transition, vigorously advancing structural adjustment, and making economic development comprehensive. The coordination and sustainability have been significantly strengthened. It is precisely in this economic context that the living standards of our people have been greatly improved, and the food industry has grown to become one of the fastest growing industries in all industries. The prominent industries in the processing industry of agricultural products, which are mainly in the food industry, mainly include edible vegetable oil processing, liquid milk and dairy products manufacturing, vegetable and fruit processing, manufacture of starch and starch foods, convenient snack foods, frozen foods and other new foods. . China's output of cereals, meat, oil, vegetables, and aquatic products has leapt to the top in the world. In general, the development trend of China's food industry market is mainly analyzed from the following four aspects.

I. The national food industry market is in a good state of operation. In 2011, total industrial output value reached 7.8 trillion yuan, an increase of 31.6% year-on-year. The growth rate of economic tea and liquor in the main products has reached 30%, and the output of frozen frozen noodles, carbonated drinks, packaged drinking water, fresh frozen meat, candies, wheat flour, instant noodles, soft drinks, frozen foods, and rice has increased by more than 20%. . In 2011, industrial output value was 7.56 trillion yuan, an increase of 31.6% year-on-year. The sales rate of products reached 98%, and the total profits of the food industry accounted for 10.1% of the national industrial profits. The food industry has become one of the pillar industries of the Chinese economy. In the first half of 2012, the enterprises above designated size achieved total industrial output value of 4,146.67 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 22.2%, a slight decrease compared with the same period of last year, but the growth rate was relatively fast compared with other industries. These data show that the food industry has become a truly important industry in the national economy.

Second, China's import and export trade increased in quantity. The overall trade situation is excellent in quantity, and the quality of exported food has also been guaranteed. In 2006, the total volume of import and export of food trade was 40.789 billion US dollars (excluding wheat, corn, soybeans, fruits, and other agricultural products). In 2011, the total volume of imports and exports was 78.07 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 28.9%. In the first half of this year, China's import and export reached 66.56 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 16.5% year-on-year. Among them, exports were 25.71 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 3.2%, and imports were 40.85 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 26.8%. China's import and export foods have shown an increase in quality. In the import and export trade, the general import and export of food trade dominates. In the first half of the year, China's general food trade import and export accounted for 82.1% of China's total import and export volume over the same period. The import and export of processing trade was US$6.78 billion, an increase of 9.7%, accounting for 10.2% of the total. Import and export of food products are more concentrated. Aquatic products ranked first, and vegetables and aquatic products accounted for 46.2% of total food exports. The imported food was mainly grain. In the first half of the year, the import amount was 40.854 million US dollars, an increase of 41.2%, and the value was 19.95 billion US dollars, an increase of 21.4%. The largest importer of imported grain was soybeans. The import value of soybeans was US$29.052 million, an increase of 22.9%, worth 160.8 trillion yuan, an increase of 17.5%, accounting for 39.4% of China's total food imports. Imports grew rapidly.

This situation shows China's domestic growth and economic growth. The data shows that China's export of food for many years has been maintained at 99% or more. The "Food Safety Law" implemented in China in 2009 provided legal protection for the product safety of China's import and export trade. At the same time, the Food Safety Law and related regulatory authorities have also adopted food technology protection measures. According to the US food industry, China’s imported food sales are expected to increase at a rate of 15% per year. In 2018, China will become the world’s largest import food sales country, and the import food market will reach US$480 billion.

3. Promoting the prosperity of the food industry development market The Chinese government, industry associations and enterprises are working together to accomplish the following tasks: (1) To maintain the stable and rapid development of the industry on the basis of meeting market demand and changes in the development mode. In 2015, the total output value of the food industry will reach US$11.2 trillion, with an average annual growth of 11%. (2) Form reasonable product structure and regional structure through structural adjustment and resource integration. In 2015, there were more than 40 food industry companies that sold more than 100 billion yuan, 200 food processing industrial parks and collective goals, and 100 owned brands. (3) Breakthrough in key technologies for food safety control. By 2015, the contribution rate of food technology progress will reach 70%. The mass production equipment and information technology categories of mass-market enterprises will reach over 80%. The mating of key industries and the level of autonomy will be steadily improved, and the independent research and development rate of food equipment will reach 60%. (4) Improve the level of deep processing and comprehensive utilization. By 2005, the proportion of processed foods in the food industry has been raised to more than 50%, and the total utilization of by-products in food processing, edible food oil processing, meat slaughter and processing, and fruit and vegetable processing industries has been greatly improved. (5) Energy conservation and emission reduction and environmental protection will achieve substantial results. The total discharge of major pollutants will be reduced by 10%, and the wastewater discharge will be reduced by 800 million cubic meters compared with 2005. (6) Food quality and safety will be significantly improved, approaching international food safety standards, and improving scientific and edible food safety standards, establishing a unified and comprehensive national food safety standard system, and striving to achieve a food pass rate of more than 95%. The passing rate of meat products and beverages will reach 98%. (7) Plans to strengthen the construction of food industry, foster new industries, implement industrialization of agriculture, and jointly develop the agricultural food industry and food raw material production and supply, focusing on the advantages of functional foods, food ingredients and additives, and raw materials, meat, dairy products, Aquatic products, food and sugar, tobacco, alcohol, tea, edible fungi, etc.

Key Objectives and Tasks of the Fourth and Twelfth Five-Year Plan The main guiding principle for planning by 2015 is to meet the growing consumption needs and nutritional and health needs of the people. Nutrition and health and food safety are the top priorities of the food industry and the ultimate goal of development. The basic principles for the development of the food industry are safety and health, nutrition and health. By 2015, the food industry will continue to increase its intensive quality and safety level, adjust the structure transfer method, improve quality and safety, enhance innovation capabilities, and promote intensive development. The integrity system promotes the effective linking of the entire industrial chain, builds a quality and safety green environment, and provides ample modern food industry with Chinese characteristics, achieving stable development. At the same time, enterprises should develop independent innovation capabilities, ensure safety, nutrition and health, and enter the modern food industry with high international competitiveness, increase the contribution rate of the food industry to the society, and consolidate the role of the food industry in expanding industry-led development in the new era and promoting social development. Harmonious and stable economic position. Focusing on the prosperity of the food safety and nutrition system, the rapid growth in scale efficiency has been maintained, the capacity for independent innovation has been enhanced, the organizational structure of the company has been continuously optimized, resource utilization and energy saving and emission reduction have been significantly improved, and the product structure has been significantly improved.
