Why is there a shortage of pure milk in China?

65438122, the reporter visited several large supermarkets in the city and found that the bagged pure milk of Yili and Mengniu had been out of stock. In this regard, supermarket staff said that this kind of milk is currently lacking in Weifang. According to industry insiders, this may be the structural adjustment made by dairy enterprises due to insufficient milk sources. Does not mean that low-priced milk will withdraw from the market. After the milk source is sufficient, the dairy enterprises will resume mass production.

Investigation ternary brand bagged pure milk is still available for sale.

On the morning of the 22nd, the reporter came to Jialejia Xinhua Store, and saw that there were packing boxes of Sanyuan and Mengniu bagged pure milk in the promotion area. The reporter helped Mengniu's packing box and found it very light. When it was opened, it was empty. Other Mengniu packaging boxes are also empty, and there are ternary bags of pure milk. On the other side of the promotion area, in addition to goat milk, there is also breakfast milk for sale.

"Mengniu and Yili's bagged pure milk is out of stock. I don't know when it will arrive." A staff member said that many customers are used to drinking Yili's milk, which is not suitable for a change. They all asked the mall for contact information, as long as some citizens buy several boxes at a time.

Subsequently, the reporter went to RT Mart Supermarket on Xinhua Road, and saw that the previous scene of big promotion of bagged pure milk no longer existed. The reporter saw at the counter in the milk area that only pure milk was packaged milk from Telunsu and Jin Dian. The reporter turned around and didn't find Yili and Mengniu bagged pure milk.

The reporter visited Tesco supermarket and found that the same is true.

If citizens don't come back, they will buy other brands instead.

654381October 22nd, the reporter met Uncle Liu who was wandering in front of bagged milk at Jialejia Xinhua Store. "I bought a box of milk last time and drank it for several days. Recently, I found that the supermarket was out of stock." Uncle Liu said that he is almost 70 years old this year, and his children told him that the elderly need calcium supplements and let him drink more milk.

"I have been drinking Mengniu's pure milk. It has become a habit to drink a pack before going to bed every night." Uncle Liu said: "I don't know why I didn't buy Mengniu's pure milk recently." I will wait and see. If it is out of stock, I will buy another brand to drink first. "

Ms. Li, who often goes to the supermarket to buy milk, is a little skeptical after hearing the news that pure milk is out of stock. "The last time I went to the supermarket to buy things, I saw that the milk had gone up. I was still thinking that it might fall back in a few days, so I didn't buy it. It's not true that supermarkets are weaned, is it? " Ms. Li believes that supermarkets purchase goods from big manufacturers, and the scale of dairy enterprises will not be out of stock.

The shortage of milk source for dairy farmers is affected by two major factors. In the afternoon, the reporter got in touch with Chu Jianbo, a large cattle raiser in Beibei Village, Duchang Street, Changyi City. Chu Jianbo said that his cattle farm now has more than 20 cows producing milk, and the milk yield is closely related to the weather.

Qi Jianbo told reporters that another reason for the shortage of milk sources is that there are fewer cattle farmers. "Raising cattle is too tired and there is not much money. Many people have changed careers. " Chu Jianbo said that especially after the melamine incident, many cattle farmers could not sell their milk and finally had to sell or kill their cows.

The milk produced by Chu Jianbo is sold to Ziyuan Dairy, and now the price per kilogram is 4 yuan. Excluding the cost of forage, A Niu's daily income is 20 to 30 yuan. "Although there are fewer milk sources, the purchase price of milk has not increased much." .

After the industry analyzes that the milk source is sufficient, dairy enterprises will re-produce large quantities of bagged milk.

Mr. Liu works in a dairy company. He told reporters that the shelf life of bagged milk is generally less than two months, which is much shorter than that of boxed milk for half a year. Boxed products with long shelf life are ultra-high temperature sterilized milk, and bagged milk is generally pasteurized milk. Generally speaking, the longer the shelf life, the higher the temperature of heating sterilization and the longer the time. Heating will destroy vitamins in milk, cause calcium precipitation and reduce the nutritional value of milk, so many families choose bagged milk when buying milk. Because the bagged milk is pasteurized, some fungi will remain. Relatively speaking, logistics and distribution requirements are higher, but the price is lower, so manufacturers choose to distribute boxed milk.

"During this time, pure milk was out of stock in many places, especially bagged milk." Mr. Liu said that this is only a structural adjustment made by dairy enterprises in response to the shortage of milk sources in a short period of time, and the possibility of low-priced milk exiting the market is relatively small. From the consumer's point of view, the nutritional value of bagged milk is higher than that of boxed milk, and the price is more affordable. When the milk source is sufficient, each dairy enterprise will adjust its production structure accordingly and produce bagged milk in large quantities again.

"The government is increasing investment and subsidizing dairy farmers. In this way, the number of cows may increase greatly, and the supply of raw milk will follow. " Mr. Liu said. (Reporter Dou Yuanna, trainee reporter Zhang Xiao)
