The development of potato processing industry is of great significance

The development of potato processing industry, can the potato production potential into real supply and consumption capacity, promote the double supply and demand growth, help the industry poverty alleviation, to meet the nutritional needs of residents.

1 can be connected to production and consumption

From the supply point of view, through the use of winter idle fields, improve the potato yield, potato production capacity from the current 100 million tons to at least 300 million tons; from the demand point of view, with the industrialization, urbanization and rapid development of people's lives The level of the increase in the potato staple food, functional food, fast food, snack foods and other consumer demand increased rapidly. Through the development of potato processing industry, can set up a bridge between production and the market, the production capacity into consumption capacity, supply and demand effective convergence, and promote the dual growth of supply and demand.

2 can promote the value of agricultural products

Potato wide adaptability, resistance to barren, drought, more suitable for harsh climatic conditions. China's more than 70% of the national poverty-stricken counties are planting a certain area of ​​potatoes, some contiguous poverty area is the main potato producing areas. Potatoes are still the main source of food and economic income for the people in the mountains and poor areas of northwest and southwest China. Gansu Dingxi, Heilongjiang Keshan and other places through the development of potato industry to promote income have made a model. The development of potato processing industry, can be poor areas of the "original size" products into "Gongzi" products, effectively promote the value of agricultural products, farmers employment income, help industry poverty alleviation.

3 can improve dietary structure

As the dietary structure is irrational, nutrition is not balanced, "rich disease", "urban disease" and so is the residents of our country is facing prominent health problems. Potato is a globally recognized nutritious food with low calorie content, high crude fiber content and good protein quality. It helps to protect the body and prevent digestive diseases. The development of potato processing industry, can be food intake by the fine turn, nutrient intake by the deflection of the whole, improve the dietary structure, promote nutritional balance, prevention of chronic diseases, to meet the nutritional needs of residents.

Current Situation of Potato Processing Industry in China

In recent years, the Ministry of Agriculture has carried out a series of work in promoting the development of potato processing industry.

Optimize the development environment

Promote the State Council issued the "Opinions on Further Promoting the Development of Agricultural Products Processing Industry", clarified the development direction, the basic principles, the main objectives, in the fiscal, taxation, finance, insurance, investment trade, land transport and other policies Big breakthrough, optimize the overall development of agricultural products processing industry environment. Issued the "Ministry of Agriculture on the promotion of potato industry development guidance", the theme of the deployment of potato industry development work, creating a potato staple food industry development of a good atmosphere.

2 implementation of the origin of the initial processing policy

2012 Ministry of Agriculture to start the implementation of agricultural products origin processing subsidy policy, focusing on support for agricultural products storage, preservation, drying and other processing facilities, has been added potato storage capacity of 1.7 million tons, effectively promote the reduction of potato efficiency, market equilibrium, Farmer income. 2017, the origin of the initial processing policy integration into the rural 123 industrial integration development projects, focusing on supporting the origin of agricultural products processing, staple processing and comprehensive utilization, product circulation and direct supply direct marketing, rural e-commerce, leisure agriculture and rural tourism, industry poverty alleviation And so on, to promote the development of industrial integration, so that farmers share the value of the second or third industry income.

3 to promote the potato staple products and industrial development

Since the implementation of the annual arrangements for 100 million yuan of special funds to support the development of potato staple food, one after another to support nine pilot provinces and seven pilot cities more than 200 enterprises to carry out staple food product development, the new processing capacity of more than one million tons; the formation of potato staple food, Leisure food and other six series of more than 240 kinds of products, potato staple food in the potato accounted for an increase of 55%; processing equipment, key technology has made a series of breakthroughs.

4 to carry out consumer advocacy guide

Combined with the staple food processing industry to enhance action, potato staple products and industrial development, combing the modern staple food consumption, potato nutrition and health knowledge, pass the theme of the activities, the preparation of knowledge manuals, publicity new staple food consumption concept, to expand the consumption of potato food Know; to carry out the national staple food industry demonstration enterprises to declare that focus on potato staple food processing enterprises to enhance consumer confidence in consumption

"Twelve Five" period, driven by the market and policies, China's potato from planting to processing, consumption, the rapid development of the whole industry chain. Planting industry developed steadily, China's potato area and total output continue to maintain the world's first, in recent years, potato planting area has more than 85 million mu, the total output of about 100 million tons. The rapid development of processing industry, the rapid growth of frozen fries production, the expansion of potato flour application, steady growth, potato chips and other snack foods market demand, potato staple food industry development began. Industrial development gradually concentrated, formed a group of strong economic strength, competitiveness, technological advantages of potato processing enterprises and industrial agglomeration area. Innovation capacity, potato processing food new generation, processing output rate, byproduct utilization have improved, research and development to produce a number of high value-added products, modified starch varieties from 10 to more than 30 kinds of species. Standard system gradually improved, "SB / T 10631-2011 potato frozen fries" "SB / T 10752-2012 potato snowflake powder" "SB / T10968-2013 processing potato circulation norms" and other industry standards, has been promulgated.

Potato processing industry development bottleneck

1 consumption concept still need to change In our traditional dietary structure, in addition to some areas as a direct consumption of staple food, more than 95% of the potato is fresh as a vegetable, "French fries" is called "junk food" title, nutrition and health Lack of knowledge. According to statistics, Europe and the United States and other countries per capita annual consumption of potatoes generally around 80 kilograms, while China is only about 40 kilograms.

2 Increased pressure on raw material protection With the rapid development of potato processing industry, the demand for raw materials for potato processing raw materials, especially high quality processing potatoes, is on the rise. However, the proportion and yield of wild potato varieties were low, the lack of special potato varieties, seedling selection, field planting and post-harvest storage were lack of fine management, and the quality of raw materials was uneven, resulting in the lack of processing materials.

3 industrial structure still need to adjust the potato processing conversion rate is insufficient, the international has reached more than 60%, some countries have more than 80%, while China only about 10%. Early processing, low value-added products, the main non-staple food, snack foods and other deep processing, high value-added products less. 4 innovation capacity is still to mention R & D investment in science and technology and scientific output, not far below the level of developed countries. Processing key technology research and development, equipment creation and independent innovation capacity is low, energy-saving emission reduction, comprehensive utilization of technology there is a big gap.
