Original title: East Afghanistan response to the Chinesethe world to buy donkeys": do a gum is not only for the Chinese
Recently, "Chinesethe world to buy donkeys" has become a hot topic at home and abroad, traditional Chinese medicine A gum is considered an important cause. Qin Yufeng, chairman of Dong'a Gum Group, responded exclusively to global Times reporters, saying that Chinese companies import donkeys overseas in line with the needs of the internationalization of the market, but also to a certain extent to help solve the problem of excessive number of donkeys in some places, and ethically speaking, Chinese buy donkey skin to make Chinese medicine, at least better than taking animal skin as a bag.
Qin Yufeng told the Global Times on the 22nd, with the internationalization of the market, relying on simple Chinese resources is difficult to meet the global market demand for aglu, the use of global resources to meet global demand is reasonable. In particular, he stressed that this global market demand is not limited to the Chinese community. In Indonesia, for example, 55% of the local market demand comes from non-Chinese groups.
Global Times reporter access to public information found that the domestic and foreign market demand for A gum has reached 5000 tons, the actual demand for donkey skin is 4 million, according to this standard, China's donkey storage volume reached 11 million head to reach the market supply and demand balance. Yet the stock of donkeys in China has been declining for nearly two decades, from 11m in the 1990s to 5m today, and is continuing to decline, causing a severe shortage of supply.
"Why can't there be imported donkeys when cattle can be imported in large quantities?" Qin Yufeng also cited Australia as an example, china's demand for Australian beef in recent years has grown rapidly, australian donkey imports are also a win-win good. Qin Yufeng said that because donkeys as a traditional transport tool passed down from the farming era gradually withdraw from the historical stage, Australia and other countries, the number of wild donkeys increased significantly, the government every year to use aircraft hunting, so it would be better to keep them in captive. Qin Yufeng told the Global Times that Australia's Northern Territory, Darwin and other places have sent at least two delegations to contact him, the two sides signed a breeding agreement involving 10,000 to 20,000 donkeys. "If the natural environment is right and can solve local employment difficulties and bring new economic growth, it's not a good thing to raise donkeys."
in this regard, New Zealand's deer breeding experience is worth learning from. "In New Zealand, deer make more money than cattle and sheep, " Qin Yufeng told the Global Times. New Zealanders found in China, Japan, South Korea and other East Asian countries, many people love to eat deer antlers, so they made deer antlers into an industry.
In response to accusations by some national parliamentarians and animal protection organizations, Qin Yufeng refuted that there were some problems in the industrialization of the donkey industry, but that the operation of the donkey industry in individual places could not be deliberately amplified, even to denigrate Traditional Chinese medicine. Like cattle and sheep, donkeys, horses and mules are not protected animals, not to be endangered species, there are international exchanges, the Chinese government has listed it as an important part of the "13th Five-Year Plan" of modern animal husbandry, related enterprises in the development of international markets also pay great attention to cooperation with the local government to jointly promote the standardization of industrialization of donkeys.
