1211 Diet Structure and National Health
Needless to say, Xiao Feng also thinks Mr. Wan's idea is really good.
Although the eating habits of Chinese people are still more used to eating pork, this consumption habit can really be changed.
Compared with pork, chicken is not only cheaper, but also healthier.
And in recent years, there have been frequent outbreaks of swine fever all over the world, especially the latest one, which has had a very serious impact on the global pig farming industry.
This also reminded Xiao Feng of some weird legends in the market. For example, Mao Xiongguo's security council secretary once accused the United States of being the culprit for the outbreak of swine fever in the world.
Because the United States has set up more than 200 military biochemical laboratories around the world, and these biochemical laboratories are almost built around Maoxiong Country and H Country.
The swine fever that broke out the year before last was Georgia, where the United States was stationed.
Then the swine fever went all the way up, swept across Northern Europe, and then entered Russia.
You must know that Russia was being sanctioned by the United States at that time, and its economy was the most difficult period.
At that time, after Russia was hit hard by the swine fever epidemic, many pig breeding companies had to slaughter a large number of pigs and burn them before burying them.
But it had a worse impact on the already bad Russian economy at that time.
Because a large number of live pigs were slaughtered in the north, prices in Russia rose by several percentage points at that time.
What's even more exasperating is that the swine fever was introduced into the country afterwards, causing domestic pig breeding companies to suffer heavy losses for a time.
But at this time, the Americans launched a sweater war against country H.
In order to check and balance the United States, country H at that time had to choose to restrict the agricultural products of the United States.
This also caused the price of goods in country H to soar for a while, especially pork, which happened several times in just a few months.
And this also brought a lot of inconvenience to the people of Huaguo at that time.
To be honest, it really hit Hua Guo's economy hard.
So at this time, Pat Rusev, the secretary of Maoxiong Country's Security Committee, has repeatedly stated in international public occasions,
Criticize loudly that the American people are engaged in biochemical warfare.
The losses of Russia and China are compounded, and they should be responsible for the swine fever incident.
Although Mao Xiongguo does not have the right to speak internationally, the speech of this Maoxiongguo official has to make people think deeply.
Because the timing of the outbreak of swine fever is really a coincidence.
Moreover, the two major pig-raising countries and the pork consumption market were hit hard respectively.
And these two countries happen to be countries that are not quite right with the United States.
Especially when the swine fever broke out in country H and the sweater war with the United States was launched, it was really a coincidence.
This really cannot help but lead people to daydream.
However, under the propaganda of the mainstream media in Europe and America, these news were quickly covered up.
But after that incident, everyone understood that Americans are really not good birds.
The reason why Russia dared to say that was that the United States did not raise any rebuttals at that time.
It seems that the Russians should have more or less some evidence in their hands.
But for some reason, Russia did not announce it to the public. It should have reached some PY deals with the Americans.
But the unlucky ones were the people of country H. The pork that was originally worth about ten yuan a catty soared to fifty yuan at one point.
Coupled with the sweater war, many industries were affected. During that time, many ordinary people smiled wryly and said that they could not afford meat.
But now, many bigwigs have entered the pig breeding market because of the large decline in domestic pig stocks.
It can be said that they are very discerning, but what Xiao Feng saw was a bug's crisis behind it.
It is true that after a few years, the pigs raised by these bigwigs can flow into the market on a large scale, allowing them to earn a lot of money.
But for one thing, there will be a large number of new live pigs coming out of the market at that time, which will lead to a plunge in pork prices.
On the other hand, you have to consider, what if some people are doing it once?
What if a new swine fever disease really spreads out?
To know the last outbreak of swine fever, the timing is very coincidental.
What's even more strange is that the livestock epidemic specifically targeted the world's largest pork consumer market.
If someone with a heart wants to play tricks, I believe they will use the same method to attack this market again.
If you want to avoid this from happening, you really need to take precautions early on from the meat consumption habits of Chinese people.
Chicken is a very good substitute.
The price is low, and the nutritional value is higher than that of pork.
To be honest, the cooking method of chicken is no more suitable for Chinese food than pork.
Otherwise, pork may really be replaced one day in the future.
And compared with raising pigs, the cost of raising chickens is lower.
Even if a plague such as bird flu occurs, it will be over soon.
A pig is raised from a piglet, and the nursery period takes one month.
Then it will take another six to seven months to go out to the market, and the breeding cycle will take at least half a year.
But it only takes thirty days to raise a chicken.
Therefore, from the perspective of quickly restoring production capacity after the epidemic, it is also more cost-effective to raise chickens.
What's more, raising chickens can also provide a very important by-product, which is eggs.
Therefore, even from the perspective of protecting the safety of ordinary people's food baskets, raising chickens is more cost-effective than raising pigs.
So Xiao Feng is quite optimistic about Mr. Wan's plans to invest more in raising chickens and focus on making efforts.
"My ultimate goal is to increase the proportion of chicken in the meat consumption of Chinese people from 15% to 30%, or about 40%."
"In this way, the dietary structure of Chinese people will be more reasonable, and more people will be healthy. After all, chicken is really much healthier than pork."
What Mr. Wan said clearly and logically.
Xiao Feng also kept nodding: "Well, that's the reason."
"If you really want to work hard in this area, then I will definitely cooperate with you."
"After a while, after your chickens are out of the market, contact our celebrity chefs and supply them directly to us."
Celebrity chefs now also purchase large quantities of chicken from the market, and there are suppliers everywhere.
Anyway, anyone can use it, so why not use Mr. Wan to raise it.
What's more, the chickens raised by Mr. Wan are fed with feed specially provided by Xiao Feng from the Kalapago Islands.
The chickens raised are healthier, so Xiao Feng naturally needs to support them vigorously.
"Thank you so much, brother."
Young Master Wan's gratitude to Xiao Feng was beyond words.
"You're welcome, mutual benefit!"
Xiao Feng replied with a chuckle, anyway, if Mr. Wan expands the feed factory or the breeding farm in the future.
It is definitely necessary to cooperate with his Pan American Agricultural Development Company for mutual benefit.
We must maintain close cooperation with the countryside, everyone earns money, and the rich water does not flow to outsiders' fields!
Xiao Feng thinks that this Chaoshan people's unique business quality should really be learned.
"However, don't patronize the development of your company. This security aspect must be strictly controlled."
Xiao Feng still couldn't help reminding Mr. Wan.
Mr. Wan was also taken aback after hearing this, and then said to Xiao Feng with a smile.
"Don't worry about this, we are very strict about product quality control. Even our own food processing factory is absolutely very strict about quality control."
"Like dead chickens and ducks, we absolutely do not allow them to be processed and sold in food processing factories."
"And you see there, there is an incinerator over there."
"If it is livestock, chickens and ducks that died due to disease, we would take them there and burn them, and then bury them."
"It is absolutely not allowed to flow into the market."
Young Master Wan said to Xiao Feng firmly.
In fact, all farming enterprises will inevitably encounter such problems.
What about dead livestock chickens and ducks?
Some companies are more conscientious, so they are directly incinerated, and then disposed of harmlessly.
However, some companies do not do enough in this regard, especially those companies that are concerned about costs.
Most of them will turn a blind eye and close their eyes, and deal with those livestock chickens and ducks that died of illness.
After some private traffickers buy them, some of them will be sent to some underground food processing factories.
Part of it will be processed into ham sausage, canned food and other foods, and then flow back into the market.
Another part will flow into the local cooked food market, make cooked food, and circulate in the market.
To be honest, if the judgment is not clear about such food, what disease did the livestock, chickens and ducks die of?
After people eat it, it is easy to cause high-risk damage to the human body.
Because some germs cannot be killed even by high temperature.
And even after you kill it at high temperature, this kind of spoiled meat may cause serious gastrointestinal diseases.
In this regard, Mr. Wan attaches great importance to it.
He also invested heavily in the breeding industry this time, in order to create a solid brand.
Moreover, he is now an upstart in the business world, and he cherishes his feathers very much, so he will never allow such things that damage his reputation.
After the factory was built, he sent people over and over again to talk about it.
Because ordinary people in China have been cheated many times by companies like black workshops in the field of food safety.
Therefore, ordinary people are very sensitive to food safety issues. If his company is caught in this regard.
That would definitely deal a fatal blow to his reputation.
So Mr. Wan attaches great importance to this aspect.
But Xiao Feng felt a sense of irony when he heard it. Mr. Wan paid great attention to quality and food safety control this time.
This, he was convinced.
But what he wanted to remind Master Wan was to beware of imported viruses and pests.
But at this time, he really didn't know how to discuss this topic with Mr. Wan in too much detail.
