Barley and Beer in China

[charliep]

One other thing to watch for in China is their ability to export malt. Haven't read all translation Parsley but will note that China is an becoming experts at reducing amount of malt barley in beer even to the point of having near beers with no malt. At least some are concerned China will buy Canadian/Aussie/EU malt barley, malt it with world class malting plants and sell into traditional Canadian malt markets like Japan. Why having visible pricing into markets like China is critical so we don't inadvertently undercut our own domestic malt plants customer base. Putting it another, no special deals to China.

Vewry astute, cahrliep, which is essentially why I am posting this.

Five years, China's beer barley production development did not stop.

It is learned that the National Science and Technology, Ministry of Agriculture are arranged in a number of research projects of beer barley breeding research funding.

Some advantages in areas of local government, issued a support malting barley industry development policy so that some areas of the industrial advantages initially appear, in order to ease our tension between supply and demand of raw materials of beer to make a contribution.

Gansu Province, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang reclamation area is rapidly becoming the eastern and central supply base for a large beer companies.

As a direct raw material of beer but not beer barley malt, these supply bases in the development of malting barley production also rise building boom of the malt.

Gansu Province in 2004, production capacity of more than 450 thousand tons of malt can be eaten in the province produced 550,000 tons of beer barley, higher than the province's annual output

There are about 132 of China's malt, concentrated in Harbin, Dalian and Beijing-Chengde Qin region, Jiangyin, Ningbo, Guangzhou and Hexi Region, Gansu Province

At present, China's malt production capacity has reached more than 4.8 million tons more than the actual needs of more than 170 million tons.

The construction of malt to form a leader in the growing areas leading role.

Spring malting barley production in the Northwest this year, ranking first in the country, up to 800 thousand tons to 85 million tons, accounting for about 39% total 41

But production falls short.

The key is the origin of some industrial operation mechanism is not established.

Ningxia beer barley production has developed rapidly in this area will not only meet the market demand, and sold outside the region, forming a stable base for planting

Because malting barley is a highly efficient water-saving crops (wheat, water-saving than 70%), some farms have been planted for many years, in 2004 Zongchandadao 5,000 tons.

In recent years, only "Western Xia beer" beer per year would require 15 thousand tons of barley, 2 / 3 needs to Gansu to buy.

In 2003, Beijing Yanjing Beer Group, Hebei Qinhuangdao Light Gold Mai Industrial Co., Ltd. (malt), Omer Baoding Bada Mai Nha Co., Ltd. and other enterprises in Ningxia have to contact the procurement, the results of supply shortages, not delivered.

Grasped the opportunities for development in Gansu.

After years of development, Gansu beer barley production in the national market, highlighting strengths, size and output leading the country, has become the largest malting barley and malt transferred out of province, malt enterprises to build scale and speed of development reached a similar industry in the country the most.

Breeding the province's "Sweet beer 3" and "Sweet beer No. 4", various quality indicators were higher than the national standard, the overall level of quality malt also reached the national level and an excellent malt industry standards.
I
n 2005, the malting barley area of 170 mu output of 630,000 tons.
Year in July, beer barley, 1,500 yuan / ton enjoys a more than same period in 2004 more than 50 yuan / ton, the price soon be a new record to break, forming a buying trend.

In order to ensure that the Malting Barley Industry in Gansu rapid and healthy development by the end of 2005, the provincial agriculture and animal husbandry Office convened a "malting barley industry development forum," clearly the future of industrial development in Gansu Beer Barley priorities ©U 1, guidance, support and processing enterprises to go grouping roads.

Second, actively promote the establishment of intermediary organizations, improve the processing enterprises and production base linkage mechanism

Third, to develop new production base, the expansion of barley production scale.

Fourth, efforts to increase scientific and technological support, through the technology to increase the overall efficiency of the industry.

This year, Gansu beer barley planted area is expected to reach 225 million mu, and form the Hexi Corridor, the Yellow River, citing large irrigation as the main body, to semi-arid regions in central and southern supplemented by high-quality beer barley production base, production of 860,000 tons mark for the sprint.

"Beer in Gansu in 2007 to observe and industrial development of raw materials Seminar" held in Yongchang, China Brewing Industry Association Beer Branch chairman Xiao Derun said, "Yongchang malting barley planted area of 35 mu, malt annual processing capacity 26 million tons.

This shows that, Yongchang has become the country's raw material cultivation and domestic beer, malt production, processing County first. "The County since 1986, the malting barley industry characteristics as the focus of the county to develop the county to achieve the cultivation of barley beer, standardized, large-scale and industrialization.

In 2003, by the State General Administration of Quality Supervision to include the national barley production of agricultural standardization demonstration zone.

Strengthen macro-control has become a consensus

Advantage of the scientific layout of production area, area to establish the main push the species to promote quality protection, saving the high-yield cultivation techniques, the establishment of the whole quality control system, the implementation of standardized production; highlight the large-scale cultivation and industrial operations, and efforts to solve product quality and unstable, producing high cost problem; strengthen the industrial organization, strengthen technical information services, and promote the revitalization of domestic beer barley industry.

Even in Gansu, beer barley industry development also needs the guidance of macro regulation and control.
Over the years, our province and even the Northwest Territories of beer barley production are directly affected by the number of imported barley, prices and regulation of relevant national policies, the impact of acreage between inter-annual amplitude larger.

If the quantity of imports of barley, the price is low, or the relevant state Policy changes will affect the production of malting barley in our province have been affected by.

In 1996 an area of our province had reached 100 hectares of barley, but in 1997 fell to 40 mu; in 2003 reached a record 143 million mu in 2004 fell to 122 million mu. production of ups and downs, so that households and businesses have suffered great losses.

"This is the August 2004 meeting of the Ministry of Agriculture, Gansu Province, the agricultural sector to do briefings.

Become a steady and coordinated development of malting barley industry, from the outset the problems encountered.

The Beijing Agricultural College Professor Bai Puyi in the last 10 years for domestic malting barley production, marketing and processing of survey and study that has been plaguing the development of domestic beer barley two factors, the four issues put forward four prospects, three a new way out ideas.

Commitment to the Ministry of Agriculture from 2003 "China's malting barley production and development planning" research and write the beginning, he was moving back and forth all year round malting barley-producing areas and put forward the development of the technical line of beer barley and "looking forward to put into practical action to solve" ©U

First, the "three set industrial management", namely to establish the most suitable for planting areas, to establish the most suitable species, to establish the standardization of production technology implemented in a district order to realize "leading enterprises OECD farm or farmers," the industry operations.

The second is to avoid the main production areas in food production Liangmian You "marginal areas" to establish a stable malting barley-producing areas.
T
hird, malting barley growing areas in the development of professional economic cooperation organization, orderly production and marketing organization.

July 2006, "Industrial Development Forum, the national beer of raw materials" was planted after the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry Management Department submitted a "beer barley production in China to speed up the proposal," ©U 1, as soon as possible Malting Barley Production in development planning, unified organization of production, guide the healthy development of malting barley industry

Second, increase investment, to barley production and research in national projects.

Including a variety of nationwide screening; modified barley quality standards; advantage of the region to develop a standardized cultivation model.

Third, support the establishment of intermediary organizations and service system to promote the planting order to promote the formation of barley industry, industrial business model.

What a malting barley development needs planning?

30s of last century, China's barley acreage had reached one million mu more than the early 80s reduced to 3000 hectares and has about 1,000 mu.
At present the development of malting barley in China

The main problem is lack of good varieties, cultivation technology is not superior, product less competitive, industry management, social services, and industrial management lags behind.

But the competitive advantage of domestic malting barley obvious, less investment, higher yields, Crops good, with ecological advantages, manufacturing strength and technological superiority.

Therefore, "China's beer barley production and development planning" were carved out of north-west and north of North China, Northeast China, the Huang-Huai, Southwest, five major advantage of producing the Yangtze River.

"Eleventh Five-Year" period developed into an area of 975 mu, total output increased to 2.85 million tons.

Planning proposals in the "Eleventh Five-Year" period invest 105 billion yuan in building the following items ©U species introduction, breeding and cultivation techniques ensure excellent abridged version of the extension; seed breeding base construction; commodity construction of barley production bases;

Quality Inspection Center and Information Services platform construction.

Plan put forward policy proposals are ©U additional malting barley varieties to promote subsidies; of beer barley leading enterprises of financial discount preferential credit loans; to the introduction of user-made preferential tax policies for malting barley; support malting barley specialized cooperative economic organizations, and promote production and marketing dumplings access

A little lengthy, but interesting to see what another country has been planning.

Canadian maltsters and farmers are symbiotic partners. Or should be. Let's not forget it. Parsley

[bduke]

Parsley.... I really have to concentrate to
comprehend the translation, as mandarin is difficult
to translate.

Apparently it is even more difficult to learn.

Your posts provide a chronology of the planning
and policy of beer, barley and malt development
since 2000.

However the last post seems to summarize the
current plan..... as proposed by the (copyright) U...
University?

To summarize... they are proposing subsidies and
preferential credit for barley production....
preferential tax policies... support of cooperative
economic organizations.... promotion of production
and "marketing dumpling access" !! ???

Are dumplings the malt? ... Surely they are not
suggesting market dumping as they are in the WTO.

While Canadian farmers and maltsters should have
a symbiotic relationship, last crop years treatment
begs some questions.

The Canadian Malting Industry presentation to the
Western Canadian Marketing Panel was pro CWB
and, so I have been told, the Minister excluded the
dual market option in the plebiscite because of the
Malting Industry lobby.

Hopefully this new found symbiosis is better
demonstrated!... Bill

Interesting.

Now, how do I get my noggin to stop hurting? I hit it with a larger hammmer, but it didn't help. Maybe have to try a wider swing.

I thought I saw my last Belarus tractor translated manual in the 1970's!

What's the dumpling recipe? Something good has to come out of reading that.

[seabass]

I thought it was just me. Wouldn't want to try that after a heavy night of drinking
