Research On The Development Level Of Intensive And Deep Processing Of Grain Enterprises In Hubei Province

Food security is the foundation for national security.It is also an important guarantee for our country to cope with different risks and challenges.In recent years,grain output has continued to rise,the food security situation has improved,and the food rations are completely self-sufficient.But grain supply and demand will maintain a tight balance in China.It is necessary to strengthen the safety of grain production,storage,and circulation.More importantly,we need to strengthen industrial support and improve the quality,efficiency and competitiveness of the grain industry.Intensive processing can extend the industrial chain and increase added value by optimizing raw materials and comprehensively utilizing by-products,thereby enhancing the core competitiveness of grain processing enterprises.High-quality grain projects have achieved remarkable results,and the level of deep processing has been initially improved.However,compared with developed countries,there is still a certain gap in the overall development level of deep processing of grains in China.At present,the research on the development degree of deep processing of grain enterprises is not deep enough,and the objective evaluation system is not perfect.By constructing a scientific and reasonable index evaluation system,the development level of deep processing of grain enterprises can be measured more accurately.It is helpful to grasp the bottlenecks and key points in the development of deep processing of grain enterprises.With reference to the policies and measures of the Ministry of Agriculture about deep processing and the plans for the high-quality development of agriculture,a comprehensive evaluation system for deep processing of grain enterprises is built on the basis of technological innovation,industrial chain extension,industrial development,and operational efficiency.There are four secondary indicators and 14 third-level indicators.The statistical data of grain enterprises in Hubei Province from 2015 to 2019 are selected for longitudinal measurement analysis,and the data of 13 provinces in the main grain producing areas in 2019 were selected for horizontal measurement analysis.Use the analytic hierarchy process to obtain a comprehensive index of the development level of grain enterprises in Hubei Province and conduct empirical analysis.The results show that the development level of intensive processing of grain enterprises in Hubei Province shows an upward trend from 2015 to 2019,but it fluctuates slightly.The development level is the highest in 2018 and slightly decreases in 2019.Judging from the four secondary indicators,the level of technological innovation has basically shown an increasing trend in the past five years.Except for a slight decline in2018,the level of technological innovation is steadily improving.The extension of the industrial chain is insufficient,and it declines in 2018 and 2019.The level of industrial development has gradually improved but fluctuates slightly.The operating efficiency has been significantly improved.Among the 13 provinces,the comprehensive index of intensive processing development of grain enterprises in Hubei Province is 49.5,ranking fourth.In the sub-item ranking,the level of scientific and technological innovation ranks tenth;the extension of the industrial chain ranks third;the level of industrial development ranks fifth;and the operating efficiency ranks sixth.It is concluded that the development level of intensive processing of grain enterprises in Hubei Province basically showed an upward trend from 2015 to 2019 with slight fluctuations.However,compared with other provinces in the main grain producing areas,the technological innovation is obviously insufficient.The extension of the industrial chain needs to be further improved.The level of industrial development and operational efficiency needs to be improved.Grain enterprises should speed up technology research and development and talent introduction,strengthen resource utilization and diversify operations,pay attention to market segmentation and strengthen brand building,so as to improve the quality and development level.
