The output value of China's agricultural products processing industry will exceed 20 trillion yuan.

Zong Jinyao, director of the Agricultural products processing Bureau of the Ministry of Agriculture, said in Jinan, Shandong Province on the 2nd that China's agricultural products processing industry is increasingly becoming a basic, strategic, and pillar industry of the national economy. It is expected that the main business income of China's agricultural products processing industry will exceed 20 trillion yuan this year, accounting for about 18% of the country's total industrial output value.

Zong Jinyao made the above remarks when attending the national agricultural products processing science and technology innovation and promotion activities and agricultural products processing technology achievements fair. On the same day, nearly 3000 people from more than 1100 agricultural products processing research institutes, institutions of higher learning and leading enterprises from all over the country participated in the event.

Zong Jinyao said: since the 12th five-year Plan, China's agricultural product processing industry has made great progress. By 2014, the number of agricultural products processing enterprises in China had reached 455000, including 76000 enterprises above scale, with a main business income of 18.48 trillion yuan, a total profit of 1.22 trillion yuan, and a ratio of agricultural products processing industry to agricultural output value of 2.1 billion yuan.

2.1What is the concept of "VR"? Dai Xiaofeng, director of the Institute of Agricultural products processing of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said in an interview with this reporter that one of the international criteria for a country to enter modern agriculture is that the ratio of agricultural products processing industry to agricultural output value should be above 1:5. Developed countries even reached 1:8 or 1:9. Compared with the developed countries, although there is still a gap between China and the developed countries, it is far ahead of some developing countries. On the whole, China's agricultural product processing industry is in the stage of connecting link, and the next 30 years will be a period of strategic opportunity for the development of this industry.

In this regard, Zong Jinyao believes that we should continue to strengthen the scientific and technological innovation and promotion of agricultural products processing, strengthen the innovation capability of major common and key technologies in agricultural products processing, build a platform for collaborative innovation between science and enterprises, and vigorously promote the transformation, popularization and application of scientific and technological achievements in agricultural products processing. We will promote the sustained and healthy development of China's agricultural products processing industry.
