Chapter 494: Strong Mentality

Qi Zheng knows that South Korea will increase the import of Jiagu pork, or rather, this is the result of his promotion!

After a handful of Budweiser InBev's distillery was set up in South Korea, when there was a sporadic outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in South Korea where farmers who traveled overseas brought the foot-and-mouth disease virus back to China, Qi someone conveniently arranged another pit.

- Porcine foot-and-mouth disease virus can affect a variety of animals, but mainly artiodactyls. Pigs of all ages are susceptible, but are the most harmful to piglets, often causing death.

When the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease broke out, South Korea immediately took proactive measures to deal with it. But now, nearly two months later, the epidemic has not been alleviated, but has become a problem for the South Korean aquaculture industry.

"The FMD epidemic in South Korea has spread very rapidly and has now spread to pig farms in many places, and the South Korean government has confirmed that 137 FMD outbreaks have been confirmed in 6 cities and 52 counties, which is a very bad situation. Li Dongliang reported seriously, "It is said that it is not easy to get vaccinated, I am afraid that this is a new type of foot-and-mouth disease virus......"

In the end, Li Dongliang's tone was a little serious.

Qi Zheng coughed lightly, with a look of "surprise".

"The needle falls on the dust array (fourth order) trigger, the main gold system, range: a radius of 1,000 kilometers. Effect: Inhibition, trapping. Creatures are in array, either inhibiting or trapping. ”

Of course, this time it is not to directly kill South Korean pigs, but to weaken the function of the pigs' immune system.

Usually, it's just that, but under the invasion of the foot-and-mouth disease epidemic, the more "virtual" South Korean pig industry is simply miserable!

To be honest, South Korea is not a country with a very developed livestock industry. From the point of view of pig level, in the past ten years, the number of weaned piglets provided by each sow in South Korea per year is about 21.5, and the level has hardly improved, which is not only significantly different from Europe and the United States, but also the pig raising level of Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry is far better than it; from the perspective of breeding scale, more than 6,000 pig farms provide 15 million pigs for slaughter every year, of which small and medium-sized pig farms account for 90% of the entire farm.

The foot-and-mouth disease epidemic is already easy to spread, and in the "projectile land" where the level of pig raising is not high, it was hacked by someone, and the destructive power can be imagined.

Li Dongliang obtained more detailed data through Samsung Foods, a partner in South Korea: "In just two months, South Korea has culled more than 10,000 diseased pigs, and the number of pigs slaughtered in the same period has decreased by about 30%. What's even more frightening is that the foot-and-mouth disease epidemic is still spreading, and piglets and sows in the herd are suffering heavy losses. According to the current situation, it will take at least 2-3 years for the pig industry in South Korea to return to pre-FMD levels!"

"It's miserable!" Qi Zheng sincerely "mourned" for South Korea's pigs.

Li Dongliang also nodded "heavily": "It's too miserable!"

In other words, in the next few years, South Korea will have a large shortage of pork.

And as a friendly collaborator, how could Jiagu bear to see their table only have kimchi and no meat to eat?

"South Korea has signed an additional order for 300,000 tons of pork with us, and we will spare no effort to accelerate our expansion even if it is for the meat needs of neighboring countries," said Li Dongliang. ”

Qi Zheng nodded at Li Dongliang and laughed.

After signing the new order, the export volume of Jiagu pork basically represents the export volume of domestic pork - the export volume of non-Jiagu pork accounts for only 10%.

Li Dongliang is right, if it were not for the start of a new round of expansion, Jiagu may not dare to agree to a new order from South Korea. After all, the international market is important, but the domestic market is fundamental.

In particular, foreign investors are also coveting the Chinese pork market.

"The establishment of a joint venture pig breeding and processing company with Mitsubishi Corporation, Itochu Corporation, and Yoneku Corporation with an investment of 10 billion yuan has been finalized. The topic returned to China, Li Dongliang talked about the latest situation in the industry.

Qi Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Guoliang Group has really begun to exert force in the upstream of agriculture and animal husbandry. ”

This is the largest cooperation in the field of pig breeding in China so far.

Li Dongliang pouted and said: "Guoliang said that the important purpose of this cooperation is to learn from the technology and management experience of the meat industry of the island country. The three island enterprises announced their entry into China's livestock and poultry breeding and processing market in a high-profile manner, and the joint venture with the Guoliang Group is a strong cooperation. ”

Mitsubishi Corporation is the leading livestock and poultry breeder in the island nation, while Itochu is a large livestock and poultry breeding and processing company in the island nation, while Yoneku Co., Ltd. is not well known to domestic consumers and has experience and R&D capabilities in the field of meat processing.

Their stake in a subsidiary of Sinofco is also intended to bring meat products from the island country to the Chinese market. So, trade is always a two-way street: Jiagu pork enters the meat market of the island country, and people are also seeking to counterattack the Chinese market.

In fact, their first goal of cooperation was Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry, but unfortunately, "King Xiang has a dream, and the goddess has no heart". Therefore, I found the National Food Group, which has always hoped to become the largest pig breeding and processing enterprise in China.

Naturally, "industrial conspiracy theories" have reappeared, and some media outlets and peers have called for caution against foreign control of China's pig industry.

But obviously, Li Dongliang scoffed at this: "Control? This is simply a joke." Foreign capital invests in China's animal husbandry industry, in fact, just to make money, and the money they make is not necessarily dirtier than the money made by domestic enterprises. ”

In the face of frequent domestic safety problems in food companies, it is really impossible to say who the Chinese people think is more in line with the norms of law and conscience.

As for "control", in the vast market of China, no matter who raises pigs, it is obviously impossible to "control" the industry.

If you really want to talk about control, the pig industry has actually been "controlled" by foreigners for a long time - relying on technology rather than money. As we all know, due to the backwardness of breeding technology, China's original breeding pigs basically rely on imports from abroad. Year after year, we introduce seeds from abroad, then eliminate them, and introduce them again......

However, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry has initially established its own breeding system, and it can be said that it has mastered the lifeline of independent pig raising.

Then, Qi Zheng found an interesting point, that is, Li Dongliang, or Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry's current mentality.

When the new round of domestic meat prices rose, the news of the large-scale expansion of pig giants came and went; a series of enterprises that seemed to have nothing to do with pigs, such as real estate enterprises and financial investments, appeared in the pig list; and foreign capital spent a lot of money to raise pigs...... There is no profit and no early, and a wind of pig breeding promoted by industry, industry and foreign capital is spreading.

However, unlike two or three years ago, when foreign investment in the pig industry was on the verge of facing great enemies, Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is undoubtedly more stable now.

After being pointed out by Qi Zheng, Li Dongliang thought about it for a while and smiled: "That's right, we are indeed more stable." ”

You know, according to the general industry rules, this round of pig industry expansion layout will usher in the concentrated release of production capacity in two or three years, domestic pork consumption is certain, at that time, how fierce the competition will be?

However, Jiagu is calm about this - as long as the capital chain can be relatively safe, it dares to make the choice of continuous expansion.

Li Dongliang said with a smile: "Whether it is the competition with foreign pig breeding or the competition of local pig breeding forces, it is nothing more than a competition about capital, technology, talent, management, and market, and it is a 'war' between good and poor, and we are no longer afraid of competition." ”

Fearless competition!

Qi Zheng suddenly felt a little relieved, which showed that Jiagu had begun to have a strong mentality!

In the final analysis, only when you have enough confidence can you dare to say a word that is not afraid of competition.

It is the core competitiveness of pig raising such as better breeding level, breeding efficiency, and slaughter cost that has given Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry confidence; it is the opening of a broader international market that has given Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry confidence; and it is the increasingly huge "aircraft carrier" of Jiagu Group that has given Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry confidence......

Yes, there may be a certain distance from the most advanced international breeding level, but Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is already a strong man that others have to catch up!
