Guard to striker: Chinese broilers take the initiative to deal with international changes

Introduction: Xinhua Jinan, April 9 (Ding Xiguo) through the joint efforts of China and Russia, on April 1, the Russian Federation Veterinary Bureau announced the formal lifting of the ban on the import of pigs, cattle and poultry from China At the same time, a "lobbying" team of domestic chicken export enterprises returned to Beijing from Europe In the past few days in Europe, they have made great efforts to make the EU resume the import of Chinese poultry as soon as possible In the days that followed, they gathered in Beijing to discuss countermeasures Among China's many agricultural exports, chicken is perhaps the most troubled one in recent years In some countries, the market for Chinese chicken is open and close, which makes the domestic chicken industry ups and downs In the past, when the door of foreign countries was suddenly closed, Chinese broiler export enterprises could only wait passively Now, they are slowly integrating a force to take the initiative to deal with the changes Why am I always injured? In Shandong, Jilin and other places, chicken industry has developed into a pillar industry for some farmers to increase their income Broiler processing and export enterprises, because of their strong radiation power to farmers, often become a typical example of agricultural industrialization in some places But in recent years, China's chicken industry has been hit repeatedly by the turbulence of the international market In 1990, Japan closed the Customs on the grounds that it found residual drugs in Chinese chicken In August 1996, Japan closed the quarantine of Chinese chicken again on the grounds that China's epidemic prevention system was not perfect In 1997, avian influenza virus was detected in chicken in Hong Kong, and then 17 countries in the world announced to stop importing Chinese chicken In June 2001, South Korea closed the customs of Chinese chicken Subsequently, Japan announced the batch precision inspection of chicken from China Every time the international broiler market changes, it will cause great losses to the domestic chicken industry In some places, farmers' reaction to the cold market is to kill chickens and chickens with tears "Chicken heads" awakened the bosses of broiler processing and export enterprises, often jokingly called "chicken heads" each other Faced with the trade protection measures of some countries, the "chicken heads" used to do nothing "We can only wait," said Wang Jinyou, general manager of Shandong Zhucheng Foreign Trade Group Every enterprise is in a hurry, but it can only wait for the government to negotiate with others Wait for someone to turn it on again " In February last year, the chiefs of 134 broiler processing and exporting enterprises gathered in Beijing to establish the poultry branch of China Chamber of Commerce for import and export of native animal food These member units account for 80% of the country's chicken exports Wang Jinyou, chairman and general manager of Zhucheng Foreign Trade Group, said: "with the accession to the WTO, the role of industry associations will gradually appear Unlike many associations attached to government departments, our association is entirely up and down by enterprises The purpose of the association is mainly to protect the interests of the industry " Before the establishment of the association, Chinese broiler export enterprises were like "lone travelers" in the international market Domestic high price purchase of raw materials, foreign low price competition orders, the same products, sometimes there is a gap of 20% in enterprise quotation As a result of fighting each other, the products that originally made profits can only be sold at a loss One of the articles of association of the chicken association is that enterprises should do well in self-discipline and unify and coordinate prices "Last year, we held four council meetings," Wang said With the changes in the market, we will communicate in a timely manner We will sit together and discuss what price is reasonable for the foreign market, and this problem will be solved better " Last year, according to the market situation in Japan and the prices of similar products in Thailand and Brazil, the Council coordinated the domestic export enterprises to adjust the export prices of broilers several times, greatly improving the efficiency of enterprises Another important role of the association is that when the interests of the industry are harmed, it can quickly respond, take the initiative to make suggestions to the government departments, and actively coordinate the interests of foreign partners Since last year, the "non-governmental channels" between the "chicken Association" and its foreign partners have been unblocked before and after the declaration of customs clearance by some countries Trade protection is a double-edged sword Closing the gate will do harm to foreign dealers and consumers As a producer, the chicken Association will sing together with them, echoing each other from afar, which can prompt the government to open the gate of closing faster and more effectively The first active battle of Chinese broilers was the chicken battle between China, South Korea and Japan in June last year, in which Chinese broiler enterprises showed the ability to take the initiative for the first time On June 4 last year, South Korea announced that it had detected avian influenza virus from duck meat imported from China, and closed down poultry meat in China Three days later, Japan temporarily decided to stop importing poultry from the Chinese market, according to the news released by South Korea Different from the past, the response of domestic broiler export enterprises is unprecedented positive With this news, the bosses of these enterprises immediately began to contact each other The day after Japan announced the closure, the directors of the "chicken Association" rushed to Beijing to convene the Council to study countermeasures The directors responded in unison: we can't do without the attitude of the industry association towards the wrong practices of South Korea and Japan First, on behalf of the Chinese broiler industry, they protested to South Korea and Japan He delivered a protest letter to the South Korean government and sent a representative to the Japanese Embassy in China to protest Secondly, they reached a consensus within the industry: on the one hand, they should continue to reassure farmers to raise chickens; on the other hand, enterprises should strengthen internal management and increase domestic sales; on the other hand, they should urgently report to the State Council, asking for coordination with relevant domestic government departments as soon as possible, intensify negotiations and judgments, and urge South Korea and Japan to switch on and off as soon as possible On June 9, the State Council established a special group to coordinate relevant departments and study countermeasures The timely and effective measures taken by the government contributed to the final settlement of the problem Last August 7, after Japan in South Korea, announced the resumption of switch on Chinese chicken Speaking of the blitzkrieg battle, Wang Jinyou, chairman of the chicken Association, is very interested "There won't be such a quick response from just one company writing a report to the government," he said What is related to the interests of an industry is a major event, which will attract the attention of the state " Now, Russia has lifted the ban on the import of Chinese poultry, but markets such as the EU are still closed, and international trade will change Wang Jinyou said: "in the future, in the ranks of solving international trade disputes, we will increasingly appear Because we represent the interests of the broiler industry and tens of millions of farmers " (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
