A Study On Development Of The Hog Industry In Jilin Province

The hog industry has been the dominant part of animal husbandry during its60-year development in new China. The healthy development of hog industry has been an important way to increase the income of peasants, and to ensure the meat consumption of residents. As a major producer of grain, Jilin province could provide abundant concentrated feed for the development of hog industry. However, on the one hand, the market volume of hogs and the pork production in Jinlin province both occupy a low proportion throughout the whole country and the total level of hog industry in Jilin province which lacks of advantages is in the middle and lower position of all. On the other hand, the depth of hog product processing is not enough, which lacks of features and market competitiveness. Since21st century, the hog production in Jilin province has been increased with fluctuations, especially since2005, the hog production has fluctuated frequently, which has affected the stability of the development of hog industry. The key problems of hog industry in Jilin province are how to get stable development and how to adjust to the market demand.This paper, completely and symmetrically, studies and analyzes the production, processing, distribution and other links of hog industry in Jilin province on the basis of the present situation of the development of hog industry in Jilin province. It also analyzes the industrial organization modes of hog industry and the existing problems of cultivation, production and distribution during the developing process of the hog industry in Jilin province, and then demonstrates the reasons. Finally it measures the moderate feeding scale of hogs and searches for approaches to promote the stable and effective development of hog industry in Jilin province.This paper consists of nine chapters, the main contents and conclusions are as follows:The first two chapters, which are the basic parts of this paper, clarify the basis of the selected title, the main contents, research methods and technical routes and make comments on relevant national and international studies. These two chapters also define the basic concepts involved in this paper and the research scope, and make a systematic exposition of the basic theories.Chapter3describes and analyzes the current situation of the development of hog industry in China from production, price and some other aspects, and utilizes the existing research results, statistics to analyze the production, price, mode, market structure and regional distribution of hog industry in China. According to these analyses, we find the fluctuations in the growth of the price and hog production, and the waves have been enlarged since21st century. Especially from October,2005, the waves have fluctuated frequently.Chapter4takes the SWOT method to analyze the current situation, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the development of hog industry in Jilin province, Meanwhile it reviews the developing history of hog industry in Jilin province. Based on the analyses, this paper points out that we need to seize the developing opportunities, use the advantages of the industry and take appropriate and reasonable measures to avoid the disadvantages, so that we can reduce the threats we face and keep the healthy and stable development of hog industry in Jilin province.Chapter5makes empirical analysis of the input-output situation of hog production in Jilin province. This chapter analyzes the input-output situation of all hog feeding scales by the contrast method, and uses c-d production function to establish hog production function to measure the scale pay of all hog feeding scales in Jilin province. By using the grey situation method and cost flexibility method, this chapter measures the moderate scale of hogs raised in Jilin province. The results show that:the scattered bred mode is in the stage of diminishing returns to scale, and other three kinds of modes are in the stage of increasing returns to scale. Through the comparative analysis of the scale paymet index of these three scales, we find that the raising on a large scale will get the most reward. Through the above empirical analysis, we find that the main influence factors of hog industry in Jilin province are the small production scale, the increasing production costs, the weak ability to resist market risks and diseases, the low standard of pork quality and so on. In view of the above factors, we put forward effective countermeasures and suggestions to keep the stability of hog industry in Jilin province. We need to strengthen the construction of the primary animal disease prevention system and the science and technology promotion system, and to promote the moderate-scale hog production. This chapter uses the grey situation method to choose an appropriate scale of hog production, the results show that the large scale mode is feasible for hog production in Jilin province, and then it uses the cost flexibility method on the basis of the investigation data and finds that the appropriate hog market volume in Jilin province is1000-1500head a year.Chapter6mainly analyzes the hog processing industry in Jilin province. By studying the current situation of the hog processing enterprises in Jilin province, we find the problems that exist in hog processing enterprises in Jilin province. The first is that the small and medium enterprises are still in the dominant position. The second is that the practical processing ability of the hog product processing enterprises above the scale is inadequate and the depth of the processing is not enough. The restrictive factors that caused the above problems are the low standard of hog production caused by the scattered and small feeding scales, the weakness in technological innovation and the high tax of hog production in Jilin province. In order to keep the healthy and orderly development of hog processing industry in Jilin province, we should promote the degree of the scale, take the market as the guidance to moderately expand the practical processing ability of the hog product processing enterprises above the scale, enhance the technological innovation ability of the hog processing enterprises, prolong the chain of the processing industry, increase the processing varieties and the value of the products, and strengthen the correlation between the product processing enterprises and the hog householders.Chapter7analyzes the market and circulation of the hog industry in Jilin province. By the analysis of the conditions of the hog product markets in Jilin province, we find a small quantity of the export and import of hog products, and the per capita pork consumption continues to increase with fluctuations, and the per capita pork consumption of rural residents is growing even faster than that of urban residents. At present, the problems of the hog market and circulation in Jilin province are the unsound system of hog product market, the small scale of the trade, the high costs in the circulation of the hog products in Jilin province, the difficulties of tracing the source of the hog products which guarantees the safety of the quality, the long hog distribution channels of the scattered and small feeding scales, the weakness to resist the risks, the slow development of the futures trading of the hog products. In view of the above questions, Jilin province should improve the quality of hog products, create international famous brands of hog products, reduce the circulations of the hog products, speed up the development of the hog market system in Jilin province, and constantly promote the construction of the regional concentration market, make new trade patterns, enhance the integration of the information and the network, and promote the futures trading development of the hogs.Chapter8makes analysis of the hog industrial organization modes in Jilin province. According to the study, we find that all types of hog industrial organization modes operate with the same problems, such as the low efficiency caused by the short chains of the industrial organization modes, the defects existed in the structure of the organization, the imbalance of the internal structure, and the wrong position of the government in the process of the operation of the hog industrial organization modes. In terms of the above problems, we should promote the integrity of the hog industrial organization modes and improve the organizational efficiency to optimize the hog industry organization modes, and achieve the internal equilibrium of the structures of the hog industrial organization modes, and at the same time, we should promote the innovation of the hog industrial organization modes with the government’s guidance.Chapter9is the conclusions and suggestions of this paper. Through the analysis and research, we draw the conclusion that the hog industry in China has entered a new developing period, the large feeding scale is suitable for the hog production in Jilin province, the hog industry in Jilin province is in the transitional period from rough to deep processing, the hog industry development in Jilin province is increasingly restricted by domestic market factors. On the basis of the summary of the study, the paper finally proposes the policy recommendations as references for the decisions made by the related participation bodies and relevant government departments to promote the stable development of the hog industry.
