In daily life, Xiaobian usually chooses to go to the supermarket to buy cooking oil, but there is a problem that has always bothered people. A bottle of 5L soybean oil can be bought for more than 30 yuan, while a bottle of other types of oil is twice as expensive as him. Why is soybean oil in the supermarket so cheap?

Is it because of the oil problem? In fact, the most important reason why soybean oil is cheap is that its cost is already very cheap. Most of China's imported soybeans come from the United States, Argentina and Chile. Modern agriculture is developed, and herbicide-resistant transgenic soybeans are used, which are highly mechanized, low in cost and cheap in price. The cost of transgenic soybeans is 1.5 yuan per catty, and the oil production rate is less than 20%. The remaining 80% is water and soybeans? , will be provided as feed to farms, excluding the cost of buying soybeans and the profit of selling feed. After comprehensive calculation, the cost of a catty of soybean oil is only 3 yuan. Even if a large bottle is only sold in 30 yuan, merchants still have sufficient profit space.

Another reason is that the vast majority of cheap edible soybean oil is genetically modified, and the recognition of genetically modified food in China is not high. Most people still prefer to buy non-genetically modified oil, so the competitiveness of genetically modified soybean oil is relatively poor, and the price is cheaper. Of course, there will also be a small number of "black-hearted" businesses selling at low prices, so when buying edible oil, we must be optimistic about the product information to avoid being cheated.

The price of pure peanut oil in the supermarket has been high, especially the first-class pressed peanut oil. Why? Peanut oil is deeply loved by Chinese people because of its "fragrant, delicious, fuel-saving, nutritious and healthy" and many other characteristics. At present, various types and prices of peanut oil coexist in the market, so how much is a catty of pure peanut oil?

As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for". This is the value standard generally recognized by consumers, and this standard is also applicable to the purchase of peanut oil.

The price of high-quality peanut oil will not be so low that people can't understand it, and businesses will not always do business at a loss. The price of peanut oil is mainly affected by the cost of raw materials. According to the method taught by experts in the industry, everyone can roughly calculate the cost of peanut oil.

The raw material of peanut oil is peanuts. Under normal circumstances, the oil yield of peanut oil produced by "physical pressing method" is generally about 40%, that is, only 2.5 kg of peanuts can produce 1 kg of peanut oil, and about 1.5 kg of peanut cake can be obtained at the same time. Namely: 1 kg cost of peanut oil = peanut price 2.5- peanut cake sales income+processing fee. If the current peanut price is 4.6 yuan per catty (the lowest price for mass purchase in the national market), the raw material cost for producing 1 catty oil is: 4.62.5= 1 1.5 yuan. The price of peanut cake per catty is about 1. 1 yuan, and the total price of peanut cake per catty is 1.65 yuan (1.1). The comprehensive processing cost of peanut oil per catty is about 1 yuan. In this way, the cost per kilogram of peanut oil is 10.85 yuan (11.5-1.65+1). 1 bottle of 5L peanut oil is about 9.2kg, and the direct cost of oil alone is 99.82 yuan (10.859.2). The packaging cost of bottled peanut oil is about 4.88 yuan (2.8 yuan for bottles, 0.25 yuan for labels, 0.28 yuan for caps and handles, 0.85 yuan for cartons, and 0.7 yuan for repackaging), and the value-added tax is about 4.3 yuan, and the freight is about 6 yuan. In this way, the total cost of 1 bottle 5L peanut oil is at least 1 10.5 yuan. If the reasonable profit of the factory and the income tax payable are added (at least 10 yuan or above), the price of 1 bottle of 5L peanut oil should be at least 125.5 yuan or above. If the price is too low, be careful.

So, why are some cooking oils in the supermarket so cheap? It goes without saying that the oil must be mixed with other low-cost oil, so the cost is relatively low, and most of the oil products that are often discounted and promoted at low prices by those merchants are the oil that is coming to the shelf life, so in any case, friends should carefully look at the ingredient identification on the oil drum when buying oil, and don't buy some inferior oil products for the sake of being cheap, so as not to cause adverse effects on the human body after long-term consumption.

Warm reminder! Do you still think the cheap cooking oil in the supermarket is pure? The cooking oil squeezed by the oil mill is no better than the price and the packaging! The comparison is pure! Your health is priceless! The real "squeezing oil" is produced by pure physical squeezing oil-making process, careful selection of materials, roasting, physical squeezing and finally natural plant fiber filtration technology. This process retains the rich nutrition in the oil, has no chemical solvent pollution, and contains no chemical anti-corrosion antioxidant, which ensures the safety, purity, nutrition and delicacy of the product, meets the health needs of human body and is suitable for long-term safe eating.
