CCTV survey: High cost low milk price cows are under heavy pressure

Many of us often have to drink milk in our daily life, therefore, we are also very concerned about the change of milk price, however, we tend to pay little attention to the operating condition of dairy farmers. Corn prices have been rising steadily for a long time, and corn is an important feed ingredient, and soaring corn prices have frustrated downstream livestock farming. CCTV financial channel reporter recently in the animal husbandry in Shandong Province, the interview found that many of the dairy farmers are facing the soaring cost of aquaculture, but the original milk is not selling the plight of the price.　　To see the reporter's report. Reporter: "Here is a cold water gou cun in Jinan, a dairy farming area, I behind the house is a culture zone in a milking room, every morning this time, the surrounding farmers will bring their own cows here to milk." Today, the purchase price of fresh milk is 2.6 yuan per kilogram, compared with the previous increase in a dime, but it is still difficult to offset the recent corn, soybean meal, such as the sharp rise in feed prices to farmers cost pressure. Many farmers in the interview said that they are now very sad, not only profits are reduced, some even began to lose money.　　"In the culture zone, the reporter ran into the dairy cattle breeding more than 20 years of Li Xingbao, his family now has more than 120 cows, can be said to be the most of the family, but when it comes to income, he said, and most other farmers are losing money." Shandong Jinan Cold Water Gou cun Dairy Farmers Li Xingbao: "A cow average production of 86 kg of milk, it will eat the material to reach Fifteen-Six kg, routed Jin, you see it now lose this." "Dairy farmers in Jinan city, Shandong province:" One day my cows (spend) nearly 150来 block of money, I sell milk only 130来 block of money, upside down. "Shandong Jinan Water Wave Village Dairy Cattle farmers:" The feed rose too expensive, milk prices do not rise, not to earn money now cows, now corn a dollar, bean cake 1.9 yuan, Bran also seven or eight cents, rose how much? The original bean cake a three or four, corn seven cents to money, Bran is more than 5.4 cents money, have to rise One-third bar. "It is understood that by corn, soybean meal and other major raw materials, the impact of price increases, the current price of cattle feed has been raised from the previous 9,900 yuan per ton to the current 5,400 yuan, the increase reached more than 30%."　　and feed prices straight up compared to Jinan fresh milk purchase price is always at 2.5 yuan per kg up and down, take an adult cow for example, one months of milk production is about 16-18 kg, can sell 40 to 45 yuan, and a cow one months of feed money is already close to this number, plus labor costs, farmers can only lose money. Shandong Jinan Cold Water Gou cun Dairy farmers: "Milk prices have to continue to rise, not to rise, cattle farmers can not stand." Now is two six, have to reach three dollars a kilo to not lose money. "It is understood that the original milk purchase price in January 2009 had a level of $3 per kilogram, then fell to 1.8 yuan per kilogram, until last September only to rebound again, but after the2.6 Yuan per kilogram hovering up and down, this and the rising cost of farming in sharp contrast. Pay attention to the prospect of dairy industry companies to expand and rob milk source scattered milk farmers are in the business, then the situation of large cattle?　　Reporter in the interview learned that at present some dairy farms and dairy companies, are very optimistic about the future, is a fast-moving layout of its own milk source base, hoping to advance in the recovery of the dairy market to occupy the opportunity. National statistical Office data show that the country-scale dairy enterprises in March dairy production 1.6825 million tons, an increase of 11.3%, of which liquid milk 1.4233 million tons, the year-on-year growth of 11.18%, dry dairy products 259200 tons, an increase of 11.95%. Compared with February, liquid milk, dry dairy products in March increased growth.　　Analysts said that last March, although China's dairy market has not yet fully recovered, but the production was still growing, but only a small increase, this year's sharp growth shows that the industry recovery is accelerating. Reporter: "because of optimistic about the future development of the market, so now there are a large number of large-scale aquaculture reservoirs and dairy enterprises began to expand." I am now in Heze a dairy processing site, behind me is the expansion of the enterprise's dairy processing production line of the two phase of the project. It is understood that after the completion of the daily processing of fresh milk capacity of 500 tons, that is, it needs 50,000 cows a day to ensure that milk source. "Entering the dairy enterprise, which has more than 300 million annual sales, is like walking into a large construction site." Many of the building materials are scattered in the courtyard, although it is noon, but the construction of the plant has not stopped. Business executives told reporters that the two years of business sales area did not expand, but sales are growing at around 40% a year, they expect the future dairy market demand space will be greater.　　It is also because of this, the enterprise also plans to build cattle breeding area. Shandong Silver Incense Albert Group deputy general manager Tianzhong: "In the next 5-7 years, the size of cows from the current 30,000 bulls to reach about 100,000 of the scale, this year to achieve the completion of two farming communities, we each farming community in accordance with the million head international pasture to locate, so a year's growth rate of about 10,005 20,000 head this way. It is understood that the current market, almost all dairy companies have "milk source construction" plan. Bright dairy industry has now started the construction of Shanghai Maqiao Industrial Park, ready to build a modern dairy processing park base. Yili shares issued a notice, will be in Shandong province Linqu County Nissan 900 tons of ultra-high temperature sterilization milk and Nissan 140 tons of cold drink project, investment amount to 390.08 million yuan. Mengniu Company in the southwestern region of the God County million-head milk source base construction. In addition, there are many places in the dairy industry, because of the bullish upstream industry, but also speeding up the pace of the new expansion of pasture, some million-head ranch projects have launched, the import of dairy cattle has increased momentum. Statistics show that March this year, the National import cattle 13565, an increase of 6.8 times times, the first quarter imported cattle 29138, 15 times times the same year, has been close to the annual import volume of 3/4. Pay close attention to dairy industry experts: Dairy cattle to quit will cause dairy fluctuations on the one hand is a large-scale pasture, on the other hand, dairy cattle-range households sadly exit phenomenon is increasing.　　For this phenomenon of uneven heat and cold, industry experts believe that, now China's dairy farming industry is in a period of adjustment, the future of dairy cattle farming is bound to scale development, but because the current milk source or to provide for the main, so still should be appropriate intervention to minimize the loss of dairy cattle, to ensure that the market milk source supply.　　In a reporter visited a village in the suburbs of Jinan, dairy farmers Liu Peihong told reporters that three years ago there are hundreds of dairy farmers, but the year before the reduction to more than 50, last month, and reduced by nearly half, to this year only three or four households, reducing the speed of more and more quickly. Liu Peihong, a cow farmer in the water wave village of Jinan, Shandong Province: "I have very few free-range cattle in this area." "This situation is also a miniature of Shandong dairy cattle-free-range households, other traditional dairy farming provinces are not optimistic, in Heilongjiang province, the local statistics department data show that in the end of 2009, Heilongjiang cow herds decreased to 2 million, compared with the previous year to reduce more than 10%, the statistical Department of the two cities in Heilongjiang,　　A sample survey of farmers in major aquaculture areas, such as Anda, showed that more than 1/3 of dairy cattle were eliminated, sold and slaughtered in a year, and that the normal elimination period accounted for only about 13% of the cows, and the willingness of the farmers to raise milk was markedly weakened. Wang Banxiang, executive director of Shandong Animal Husbandry Association: "We are now the system is to raise cattle and cattle, selling milk just to sell milk, processing, just processing, a bad link are separated, all want to pursue their own interests to maximize, but impossible." "Some experts said that, from the general direction, take the path of large-scale farming is inevitable."　　But at present, dairy cattle breeding in China still accounted for more than 80% of the share of dairy cattle market, the milk source or mainly rely on the free-range households to provide, if the free-range households too fast exit, will directly affect the market milk supply. Zhong, director of the Dairy Research Center of Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences: "The breeding cycle of pigs is 114 days, cows may be from breeding, breeding, birth to the last can produce milk is about three years, if we kill today, tomorrow to find it again, it is very difficult." In the present situation, to our free-breeding households, the price system of dairy products, the State should intervene appropriately to improve the purchase price of dairy products, so that our home-run households can successfully spend such a feed price rise caused by a no profit. "Financial links professional institutions to see the dairy industry" recovery growth "although the dairy farming faces various variables, however, for 1.3 billion of Chinese people, the consumption of milk obviously has a huge space, some investors are also the fancy that, in the dairy industry to pay attention to investment opportunities, we now open the relevant financial links, Look at the vision of the dairy companies listed in the research institutions..
