Analysis of Defects in China's Food and Packaging Machinery Industry

The food industry in China has been growing at an average rate of more than 20% for 10 consecutive years. In 2010, the total output value of the food industry reached 6.3 trillion yuan, which is expected to exceed 7 trillion yuan in 2011. As food and packaging machinery as a carrier of high-tech food manufacturing, the overall industry level is at least 20 years behind developed countries. Li Shujun, dean of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Mechanization Sciences and chairman of the China Food and Packaging Machinery Industry Association, said in the "2010-2011 Food Industry Industry Awards Ceremony".

Li Shujun said that during the "11th Five-Year Plan" period, the average annual growth rate of China's food and packaging machinery industry's total output value was close to 22%. In 2010, the total output value exceeded 180 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 23%; it is expected that by the end of the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan", it will reach 600 billion yuan. It has become one of the most dynamic and fastest growing industries in the national economy.

It is understood that for a long time, China's food packaging machinery industry has a low level of product technology, irrational industrial institutions, low standardization, and lack of innovative capabilities. It is severe, homogenous, low-level vicious competition, and a serious shortage of market supply capacity. , Intelligent high-end food and packaging machinery mainly rely on imports. At present, a new round of technological revolution led by information technology and materials technology will further widen the gap with the international advanced level and even endanger the national food safety.

Jiang Qi, General Manager of Hualian Machinery Group Co., Ltd., also told NetEase that China's food industry is currently focusing only on production and sales in the direction of "production," "sales," and "development". The gap between food industry companies is gradually narrowing, but he believes that "in the short term, China's food industry will still win with prices rather than advanced technology."
