China imports 100,000 tons of Dairy milk per year from Australia prices are lower than bottled water

The war of milk powder of the national Day holiday, to Sydney tourist Beijing visitors old Wang by the people to buy more than 30 cans of a certain foreign brand milk powder, before and after running seven or eight times to gather together. Nearly six years old Wang told the author, compared to physical exertion, mental suffering more people uncomfortable. Old Wang said, "Buy milk powder is not to buy white powder, the Chinese people spend money to offend who?" "For many people like Lao Wang, it is not a good job to buy infant formula in Australia, a process that is sometimes filled with frustration and even humiliation." Targeted restrictions on the purchase policy, Frosty supermarket shop assistants, passers-by surprised eyes, all let people negativity, embarrassed. Reason。 In the Sidney center WOOLW orths Supermarket work, John told the author, every Chinese tourists patronize, the supermarket each paragraph of baby milk powder will appear in different degrees of out of stock and even out. According to him, in order to maintain the necessary market order, the supermarket once stipulated that each visitor can only buy 4 cans each time, even this also does not help, because the Chinese people seem to care not to run a few more trips. The above phenomenon is the Sino-Australian dairy industry cooperation lags behind, the Australian dairy market channel is not smooth, the Australian dairy industry investment is insufficient, the manufacturing industry is declining, the production limit and so on deep-seated problems. According to the Australian Dairy Industry Bureau (D Airy A Ustralia) statistics, 2010-2011, the Australian milk production of 9.101 billion litres, milk powder production of 373,800 tons, dairy exports of 2.75 billion Australian dollars, accounting for the global share of milk trade 8%. Although in the climate, grassland, cattle and other resources such as unique, the Australian dairy industry in the past few years, there is a clear lack of capital, production efficiency is not high, deep processing capacity, low value-added products, brand strategy is missing and weak ability to resist risk, seriously restricting its international competitiveness and development potential. According to the author survey, there are few internationally renowned Australian brands of milk powder, there are few from China and other developing countries in the dairy industry investment projects. At present, the retail price of Australian fresh milk is only 1 Australian dollars per litre and the wholesale price is cheaper because of the squeeze from big retailers. The price of fresh milk is even much lower than bottled water, many small and medium-sized dairy farmers in the margin of loss. Analysts pointed out that this kind of domestic vicious competition, international market difficult to break the situation shows that the development of Australia's dairy industry needs to promote the integration of foreign investment in order to integrate and promote industrial upgrading. At present, China imports 103,000 tons of dairy products from Australia each year, most of which are powdered milk, and imports are still growing at a rapid rate. Market analysts point out that China is likely to overtake Japan as Australia's largest dairy export market in the next few years. It should be said that the potential for cooperation between China and Australia is enormous, and the Chinese side can bring both investment and huge market. However, as the dairy investment involves the sensitive issues of land ownership transfer, Chinese investment in dairy industry has been limited frequently. In recent years, Chinese enterprises, including COFCO, Bright Food, Shandong Ruyi, and so on, have frequently shown acquisition intention or action, but encountered difficult and complicated process. Australian mainstream media recently reported continuously, China Investment Co., Ltd. is interested in the acquisition of Australia's largest dairy enterprises Van Diemens Company's partial equity. The incident sparked renewed Chinese investment in farming and pastoralWhether the industry has harmed Australia's national interests and security debate. The Australian government has suggested that efforts will be made over the next few years to upgrade the existing milk production to 15 billion litres per year to increase the international competitiveness of the dairy industry. Analysts say the goal is hard to achieve without foreign support. Of course, if we emphasize strategic cooperation only, but ignore the technical level of polishing, even planting the dragon species may harvest fleas. In this regard, New Zealand's recent "weaning" policy provides a vivid example. Recently, New Zealand authorities, which have signed an FTA with China, have announced a crackdown on New Zealand infant formula, which is destined for other routes to China, in addition to registered agents. Companies and individuals who export their infant formula privately will face up to 300,000 New Zealand dollars and 50,000 New Zealand dollar fines and possible charges. It is not difficult to see, online shopping, private purchasing activities, the prevalence of the new baby milk powder trade There is not smooth circulation channels, the two countries dairy industry, low level of cooperation and other drawbacks. Regrettably, the New Zealand authorities have shied away from the fundamental problem, and the abrupt "escrow of penalties", which has its name lost, is neither honest nor reasonable. There is reason to question whether such a policy is a hybrid of bureaucracy and industry interests. Is it contrary to the spirit of self-trade and the principle of bilateral coordination? Has it exposed the low level of law enforcement and service and the problem of poor bilateral communication mechanisms? Analysts have suggested that beyond the interests of the group to obstruct, in the field of foreign trade, focus on building a business platform, in order to expand the Chinese market in China's product registration, import, distribution and other aspects to provide one-stop export services, reduce logistics and compliance costs, so that Chinese consumers more convenient access to Australia, new high-quality dairy products, thereby promoting the dairy industry bigger, To be strong, this is the responsibility of the relevant departments.
