Situation of Beef Cattle Breeding in my country and Development Prospect of Beef Industry

1. Situation of Beef Cattle Breeding in my country

At present, the number of basal cows for breeding in China has also declined sharply, resulting in insufficient domestic beef supply. Although China's domestic beef production in 2017 was 6.3462 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.87%, the gap in China's beef consumption in 2017 was still as high as 967,000 tons. In addition to importing through official customs, a relatively large amount of beef enters China through smuggling channels. As China strengthens its crackdown on smuggling, the smuggling volume of beef and offal will decrease, and the market gap will widen. In addition, the high quality and low price of imported beef have strong competitiveness in the domestic market, and more official beef is expected to be imported.

In addition, the high quality and low price of imported beef have strong competitiveness in the domestic market, and more official beef is expected to be imported. China's beef consumption continues to grow. In 2013, my country's per capita beef consumption was 1.5 kg, and in 2016 it rose to 1.8 kg. The increase in the proportion of beef consumption ranks first among all meat consumption. It is estimated that my country's beef demand will reach 8.62 million tons by 2022.

2. my country's beef industry has broad prospects for development

The future development trend of the beef industry is as follows:

1. The prospect of high-end beef products is promising

With the impact of domestic consumption upgrades and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the trend of diversification and quality of consumer demand is becoming more and more significant. People pay more attention to product quality and taste, and the demand for beef products is hierarchical. More and more consumers prefer high-end beef products that are truly safe, fast, convenient, and high-quality.

2. The development of large-scale farming has become a development trend

At present, the breeding of beef cattle in my country is mainly based on small-scale breeding. According to data, nearly 60% of the farmers have less than 10 cattle for slaughter each year. In the future, we will implement projects such as the construction of standardized scale farms for beef cattle, support large-scale farms to carry out standardized transformation of infrastructure, and improve the comprehensive production capacity of beef. Zhuanglekang for rapid fattening is effective. Large-scale breeding focuses on forage processing, large-scale breeding, and waste treatment. Research and development and promotion of supporting equipment for cattle and sheep facility breeding to improve labor productivity and increase breeding benefits is a major development of the industry. trend.

3. Continuous improvement of the cold chain logistics system

The beef industry is inseparable from logistics and transportation. In recent years, my country has encouraged livestock and poultry breeding, slaughtering and processing enterprises to implement the model of "scale breeding, centralized slaughtering, cold chain transportation, and cold fresh processing" to improve the ability of nearby slaughtering and processing of livestock and poultry to ensure the quality of various cold fresh meat and meat products. Build a cold chain logistics system for livestock and poultry products to reduce the long-distance movement of livestock and poultry, reduce the risk of animal disease transmission, and maintain the production safety of the breeding industry and the quality and safety of livestock and poultry products. In the future, with the advancement of technology, the cold chain logistics distribution system of the beef industry will be more perfect.

4. New industrial models continue to emerge

At present, my country's beef cattle industry has a strong injection of social capital, overseas mergers and acquisitions have intensified, and various beef cattle industry models with the characteristics of the times such as "Internet + beef cattle breeding" continue to emerge. In order to cope with the escalating challenges and pressures, the awareness of domestic cattle industry enterprises to innovate ideas, strengthen brand effects and enhance core competitiveness is increasing day by day.

5. Internet + beef cattle breeding

Since last year, in order to speed up the transformation of the development mode of the beef cattle industry, Maguan County has actively explored the "Internet + beef cattle industry" development model, and guided the beef cattle breeding through the establishment of the "Maguan County Beef Cattle Trading Information Platform" (also known as the Maguan County Beef Cattle Information Network) Large households, cooperatives and enterprises have developed various online direct sales with the help of e-commerce platforms, and gradually established a new operating mechanism linked by "orders", which has effectively accelerated the development of the county's beef cattle industry. Up to now, the county’s beef cattle trading information platform has been successfully established. A total of 11 beef cattle breeding cooperatives and enterprise representatives have signed platform application cooperation agreements to help large beef cattle farmers, cooperatives and enterprises in the county publish various types of beef cattle supply, market prices, and enterprise trends. More than 300 pieces of information. In the first quarter of this year, the information platform led the county to complete a total of 1,284 beef cattle transactions, with a total transaction value of 192 million yuan.
