The details are as follows:

1. In the short term, the impact on the sauerkraut industry chain:

As a traditional delicacy, sauerkraut or kimchi is widely used in both north and south of the country. lovers. At present, a complete industrial chain has been formed around sauerkraut in China: farmers planting-factory purchasing, processing-enterprise purchasing and sales.

With the deepening of consumer panic, downstream companies have increased their requirements for the quality of sauerkraut, which will inevitably lead to many companies going bankrupt, a large number of workers losing their jobs, and the sauerkraut industry being wiped out. .

Take the Chaqi Town in Hunan Province mentioned at the 3.15 party as an example. There are 39 local vegetable processing companies, including 16 large-scale processing companies, and more than 90% of the companies are engaged in sauerkraut. processing.

Currently, Huarong County has formed a complete shepherd's purse processing industry, which has driven the integrated development of local logistics, catering, printing and packaging, e-commerce and other primary, secondary and tertiary industries. The number of relevant employees is 138,000.

Generally speaking, the pickled cabbage processing industry has become a pillar industry of local agriculture. This incident will definitely have a serious impact on local shepherd's purse processing companies, and local economic development will stagnate for a short time.

In addition, due to the closure of a large number of factories, the primary agricultural products related to sauerkraut grown by farmers will also face unsaleable conditions, and farmers' interests will also suffer serious losses. The total local mustard planting area in Hunan Chaqi Town is 14,700 hm2, with a total output of about 1.2 million tons. It is the largest concentrated mustard production area in the country.

As for products directly related to sauerkraut, companies related to sauerkraut and fish will also face a decline in both customer traffic and revenue in the short term. According to Qichacha data, the peak period for newly registered pickled fish companies was from 2017 to 2019, with the number of registrations being 3,967, 4,936 and 4,563 respectively.

However, even in 2020 when the epidemic hit, there were still 3,300 newly registered pickled fish companies. At present, the pickled fish market is still hot, and many people are still optimistic about the development of the pickled fish market.

Although many pickled fish companies such as Taier, Yushihu, Youjia Pickled Fish, and Yaoyao Pickled Fish have successively issued announcements to draw a clear line with the companies involved and pointed out that existing suppliers are qualified. , attach the product test report, and send a working group to the supplier for inspection. It can be said that an enterprise has done everything it can.

2. The impact on the primary processing industry of agricultural products in the medium to long term:

The pickling process of "Tukeng sauerkraut" also has a history of a hundred years, but when consumers are interested in the pickling of Tukeng sauerkraut, When the technology is not appreciated, sauerkraut companies that want to survive must innovate the pickling process in order to survive in the market. The entire sauerkraut industry will also undergo a major reshuffle. This is of great significance in promoting the benign development of the domestic sauerkraut market.

In recent years, the primary processing industry of agricultural products, represented by sauerkraut, has experienced rapid development. However, the low primary processing rate in the origin, backward technology, and worrying processing environment have always been obstacles restricting the development of the industry.

Taking data previously released by the Henan Provincial Development and Reform Commission as an example, the overall processing rate of local agricultural products is only 40%-50%. However, most farmers and professional cooperatives in the main agricultural production areas have little awareness of the primary processing of agricultural products. , primary processing facilities are not perfect, and the primary processing rate of agricultural products is even lower. After the sauerkraut incident, under the strong supervision of the government and the industry's great emphasis on food safety, the primary processing industry of agricultural products will also usher in a change.

Under traditional agricultural cultivation, agricultural products have serious homogeneity, uneven quality levels, low consumer recognition, and weak awareness of landmark brand building and protection. They have performed poorly in the consumer market. Domestic Sluggish sales of agricultural products often occur in many places.

Only when the primary processing industry of agricultural products develops in a standardized direction can the added value of agricultural products be increased and the development of the upstream industry of agricultural products be promoted. This can also gradually transform my country's agricultural planting methods, increase farmers' income, and achieve rural revitalization.
