"COFCO", many people don't know much about this state-owned enterprise, but do you know?He is not only a leading enterprise in China's grain industry, but also a champion enterprise with the largest import and export volume of grain and oilIt is also a global layout of the grain industry monster!
At the same time, he is a rather low-key businessMaybe you don't know COFCO, but your life must be inseparable from it!Today, let's take a look at how the low-key COFCO guards China's granary and feeds all Chinese!
COFCO).As a leading enterprise in the import and export of grain and oil, he has long shouldered the responsibility of a large enterprise.
In May 2023, COFCO deployed agricultural projects in Kazakhstan and signed a deployment agreement with its Ministry of AgricultureIn June, it cooperated with the South-to-North Water Diversion ProjectIn October, it made a significant contribution to further deepening the "Belt and Road";In November, COFCO's "Buy Global" contract at the CIIE reached a new high ......
COFCO) casually takes out some COFCO news this year, and it can be seen that COFCO is a busy company, and it is a company that has been with a strong foundation for the global layout and development of China's grain.
So why do you say he's low-key?Although you may not have heard the name of COFCO,But must have used and heard of his products
FLM, a strategic partner of China's aerospace industry, has sales outlets covering ninety percent of cities across the country, and its production of grain and oil products is a subsidiary of COFCOGreat Wall, one of the earliest wine brands in China;Golden Emperor, the chocolate that children eat, is also owned by COFCO;Wugu Dojo, a people-friendly brand ...... with annual sales of 2 billion yuan at its peak.
Over the years, COFCO and its subsidiaries and brand products have penetrated into thousands of households, and are also closely related to our lives, covering all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
In addition, COFCO has also ranked among the top 500 global enterprises for many years, and is the first among the majority of food enterprises in China
is such a pivotal enterprise in China's grain industry, and it turned out to be just a small foreign trade company at the beginningNorth China Foreign ** Company.
North China Foreign ** Company.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the North China Foreign Company was established. At the beginning, North China did not want to start with the grain industry, until they saw the decline of foreign countries on China's grain industry.
We all know what our country experienced before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the turmoil in the past 50 years has long left China and the Chinese people in a thousand holes。How can a country established after the "stormy weather" feed so many Chinese?This was the voice of the Western countries at that time for China's grain industry, revealing a slight gesture of celebrating the disaster.
Substantial difficulties soon emerged, Western capital countries have suppressed our country economically, and North China's foreign trade, which is mainly aimed at foreign countries, has been struggling since its birth.
related reports) since they look down on our country's grain,Then North China Foreign Trade will let them see how China's grain feeds the Chinese。Subsequently, North China's foreign trade opened the foreign trade market to foreign agricultural products such as soybeans, cotton, and riceOn the other hand, the North China Grain Company was established to focus on the development of North China's grain, oil and food industry.
So the question is, at that time, China's grain situation was not favored by others, and there was really so much grain and oil for export?
In fact, Tianjin, the core of North China's foreign trade, began to grow cotton and soybeans on a large scale as early as 1840. Especially cotton, Tianjin people can't use it up themselves, and they have to sell it to cities in the north and south.
In addition, cotton and soybean planting also began to take shape in the four provinces of Shanhe at the beginning of the last century. In Henan Province in particular, cotton production increased more than fivefold between 1914 and 1936
They are the first foreign company in North China, the reserve and confidence to open foreign trade channels with agricultural products.
On July 6, 1983, North China changed its name to COFCO through North China Grain Group, and since then it has continued to move towards the first track of guarding grain for the Chinese peopleStep by step, it has become a "grain aircraft carrier" for the Chinese.
COFCO) as early as the 60s, North China Foreign ** Company began to build a grain reserve plant that is Chinese's own. By 2023, COFCO has successively established national grain reserves in many provinces across the country.
From the official website of the "State Food Administration", it can be found that since 2000, the local grain depots in Inner Mongolia have been planned to the "Zhonggu Group". In 2007, China Grain Group was merged into COFCO.
Under the scientific planning of COFCO, the Kailu grain depot in Inner Mongolia has stored 80,000 tons of grain from the beginningStep by step, it has grown to a "northern grain giant" with a reserve of 700,000 tons of grain.
Also in 2000, COFCO built Chinese's own grain depots in Anhui, Fuyang, Shandong, Qinhuangdao and Tongliao.
But you must know that the construction of the grain depot is only the first step, and it really needs to be carefully placedIt lies in how to manage these grains well and how to let us eat "safe food".
COFCO Grain Depot).In this regard, COFCO has always been at the forefront of the country. COFCO's grain depot has been built into a modern grain depot since the beginning of its construction. The warehouse has the functions of temperature insulation, insect and rodent prevention, as well as mechanical ventilation equipment, circulation fumigation system, and advanced grain detection system.
With the further development of science and technology, COFCO has also applied emerging technologies to the protection of food. Take the data of Kailu grain depot in Inner Mongolia as an example, since the establishment of the depot, the intact rate of the grain detection system in the grain depot has always remained above 90%.The coverage rate of electronic temperature monitoring and temperature detection has reached 100%.
COFCO Grain Depot) is not only that, COFCO also uses science and technology to save the cost of grain depot and reduce the burden on workers. For example, COFCO grain depots in many places will stop reporters from ventilating every year according to local conditionsCarry out spring ventilation to achieve the purpose of low-carbon power saving.
Speaking of which, you may still not have a practical understanding of COFCO's intentions in food.
Grain silo thermometer).
This instrument is not high-tech, just a two-meter-long granary thermometerThere are 4 thermometers distributed on it, insert it into the grain, you can detect the temperature of the grain in three dimensions.
Although it is only a small instrument, in China's grain depots, the relevant staff is almost one person. The grain depot under COFCO has special personnel to regularly test the temperature of grain every dayOnce a problem is identified, relevant measures are taken immediately according to the plan.
Grain depots).These jobs are done day after day, year after year. It may seem boring to others, because no one can see at a glance when the reserve will be used, which is like an "endless wait".
But for COFCO, for all grain industries and grain depots in China, the thermometer is their gun on the battlefield, and what they protect is the confidence of the ChineseIt is the fuel of a great country and the "grain aircraft carrier" of the Chinese themselves.
The people take food as the sky, and food reserves are not child's playIf there is no protection from generation to generation of Chinese grain people, how can there be today's national peace and security?We firmly believe that COFCO will lead China's entire grain industry to a higher and farther level.
