As a pillar industry of national health, the dairy industry has made considerable progress in recent years, with continuous improvement in modernization, steady growth in production scale, continuous improvement in the quality of dairy products, and continuous upgrading of consumer demand. At the critical stage of my country’s transition from a big dairy country to a strong dairy industry, it is not only necessary to strengthen modernization and improve various industrial standards, but also to eliminate some industry development noises and gather upstream and downstream forces to promote the revitalization of the dairy industry. At the kick-off meeting for the construction of the modern dairy industry evaluation system at the end of July, Gao Hongbin, honorary chairman of the China Dairy Association and former vice minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, elaborated on issues related to the development of the dairy industry.

"The Chinese dairy industry dare not say that it stands alone, but it is definitely rising against the trend."

  Under the influence of the sudden new crown pneumonia epidemic, the world is in an unfavorable situation of "epidemic pandemic and economic recession", and all walks of life have been hit hard. However, under this situation, Gao Hongbin believes that "only China's dairy industry dare not say Outstanding, but definitely rising against the trend." From January to June in the first half of this year, the national production of fresh milk was 14.31 million tons, an increase of 7.9% over the same period last year. This is a remarkable achievement.

  Gao Hongbin believes that such a development "can be proud of, and it reflects the great guarantee and support of China's dairy industry in fighting the epidemic. It is the natural result of the continuous and healthy development of China's dairy industry for more than ten years." And more importantly, " In the past decade or so, China’s dairy industry has carried out a thorough transformation of the entire industry with great determination and courage, with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, and has undergone a reborn historical change, which has made important contributions to economic development and national health. contribution."

"China's dairy industry has reached a world-class level, which is obvious to all

  Gao Hongbin said that the reason why China's dairy industry has achieved today's achievements and its ability to turn crisis into peace after the "Melamine Incident" is the result of the joint efforts of Chinese dairy industry personnel, and the attention, care and support of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. , The result of promotion. Relevant national ministries and commissions issued a series of guidance documents for the dairy industry to lead and promote the healthy development of the dairy industry.

  If you go to a dairy company for field inspections and exchanges, "it can be said that it has reached the world-class level, which is obvious to all." Gao Hongbin said, "China's dairy industry is still progressing and developing. There are higher goals and we must continue to move forward. It is hoped that modernization will be basically realized in 2025 and the overall level will be world-class."

"Don't look at the development achievements of the dairy industry, but turn a blind eye"

  At present, some speculative public opinion claims that China's dairy industry has gone astray. "This is turning a blind eye to the development achievements of China's dairy industry." Gao Hongbin believes that in the development of China's dairy industry, there are shortcomings and faults. We must exaggerate if we don't have it, or change it if we have it. We can frankly admit our shortcomings and proceed seriously. Rectification. But if you encounter something out of nothing, rumors, slander, or verbal abuse, misinterpretation, or distortion, you can also resort to the law.

"The standard formulation fully considered the actual development of China's dairy industry"

  Talking about the 2010 fresh milk standard, Gao Hongbin said frankly that the first point is that the 2010 standard fully takes into account the development status of China's dairy industry that year. At that time, the scale of dairy farming in China was extremely low. If the western standard system was used, 50% to 70% of dairy farmers would be eliminated, and China's dairy industry would collapse. From this point of view, this standard has positive significance.

  The second point is that this standard is only a minimum standard. In fact, the company has always adhered to high acquisition standards, which has led the quality level of China's dairy industry to rise all the way. In 2018, the average milk protein rate of fresh milk from large-scale farms was 3.25%, and the number of colonies was 350,000 CFU/mL, which was far higher than the national standard and reached the international advanced level.

  The third point is that the raw milk standard is a dynamic standard. At present, based on the development of China's dairy industry, a new standard is being formulated. As the tide rises, the new standards will naturally rise. Enterprises should strive to meet and exceed this standard and live up to the expectations of consumers.
