The development of salt industry in China maintained steady growth. According to the statistics of China Salt Yearbook, in 20 19 years, China's crude salt output reached 67014,400 tons, up 5.3 1% year-on-year, and the output reached the highest level in recent years.
Since the reform of salt monopoly system, the operating environment of salt industry in China has undergone profound changes. No longer approve new designated salt production enterprises, ensure that the number of enterprises is only reduced, and encourage the integration of production and marketing of salt production and wholesale enterprises. Since then, the output of crude salt in China has decreased. In 20021year, China's crude salt output decreased to 57.065 million tons, down 2.50% year-on-year.
Generally speaking, the existing domestic salt production capacity is greater than the consumption demand, and there is a certain degree of oversupply. Therefore, enterprises with integrated production and marketing and strong channel control ability are more capable of coping with challenges. In 202 1 year, China's salt production is about122.73 million tons.
From the perspective of salt demand, with the improvement of residents' living conditions, people's requirements for diet health have gradually increased, and the demand for high-end salt has increased greatly. In recent years, the apparent demand for salt in China has remained above 1 1 10,000 tons. In 20021year, the apparent demand for salt in China was116.75 million tons.
China salt retail and import and export volume.
China explicitly allows social capital to participate in salt production and the merger and reorganization of wholesale enterprises, and prohibits "OEM" production, and the management of salt qualification is stricter; Cross-regional management has promoted the competitive vitality of the salt market, and the variety of salt is becoming richer and the price of salt tends to be diversified, which can gradually meet the consumption needs of different groups of people.
The salt safety guarantee system is basically perfect, and the salt government reserve and corporate social responsibility reserve system are basically established. The price of salt products is liberalized, and the retail price of salt is generally on the rise. Industry resources are gathered in large enterprise groups with strong comprehensive competitiveness, and industrial concentration is gradually improved.
Under the background of China's great circular economy, the driving factors of the industry are increasingly obvious. Catering industry, consumption upgrading and food processing are the main driving factors of salt industry. The catering industry is booming, the consumption upgrade is obvious, and the salt industry maintains rapid growth. The prosperity and development of condiment industry has opened up a space for further promoting the extension and development of salt and related products.
As far as the import and export volume is concerned, China's salt products are mainly exported in international trade, with less imports, and the export volume has increased steadily year by year. In 20021year, China's salt export volume was 7310.2 million tons, and its salt import volume was10.33 million tons.
