If the private economy wants to run out of acceleration, independent innovation is the key. A few days ago, a series of reports on "Private Entrepreneurs Look at Confidence and Confidence" in CCTV Finance's "Economic Information Network" interviewed Pan Gang, chairman of Yili Group. Pan Gang said that in 2024, Yili should adhere to innovation-driven, high-quality development, and promote the sustainable development of the entire industry.
Relying on the world's leading innovation system, Yili lays out the innovation chain around the industrial chain, forms an innovation link of "from a grass to a cup of milk", solves the technical bottleneck of the whole industrial chain, accelerates the transformation and application of technological achievements, and continuously enhances the core competitiveness of China's dairy industry.
*、Feeding, pushing, cleaning, in Yili's smart pasture, cows can be completed independently in the barn "without leaving home". Pan Gang said: "When the cows are hot in the smart pasture, they will immediately be automatically sprayed, bathed, and massaged. We also have a smart ranch big data smart analysis platform, which is not only used by ourselves, but also provided to the ranches we work with, which can help everyone to better raise cattle. ”
Every grass in the pasture is related to the quality and safety of a glass of milk. The digital transformation has enabled the milk industry chain to be intelligently upgraded from the source. Pan Gang introduced that in Yili's smart factory, it processes 6,500 tons of milk per day, and the production line produces 40,000 bags of milk in one hour, and 11 bags of milk come off the production line every one second. The production capacity of this base in one day can meet the daily milk consumption of a city with a population of tens of millions.
In order to solve the problem of high-quality and stable milk supply, it is necessary to overcome the difficulties of more core technologies. For example, there is the problem of lactoferrin content in milk. Active lactoferrin, as an active nutrient in milk, has a high technical threshold and difficult process for extraction, which is a difficult problem in the industry. Through 16 years of research and accumulation, Yili has realized the world's first lactoferrin directional extraction and protection technology, and increased the retention rate of pure milk lactoferrin at room temperature from 10% to over 90%. Pan Gang said: Lactoferrin is also called the "milk **" of milk, and only 1 kilogram of lactoferrin can be extracted from 10 tons of milk, and it is sold for more than 20,000 yuan and 1 kilogram at the highest time in the world. In 2023, we broke through the technical bottleneck and now have a retention rate of more than 90% in milk. The provenance of dairy cows is equivalent to the "chip" of the dairy industry, and we have bred the world's leading breeding bulls.
Pan Gang said that when it comes to innovation, Yili is "stupid kung fu"; Winning consumers is the confidence regardless of the cost.
The collaborative innovation of the whole industry chain has injected stronger momentum into the high-quality development of China's dairy industry. Pan Gang said that the strong resilience of China's economy has made the pace of innovation and high-quality development of private enterprises more firm. In the future, Yili will continue to adhere to the guidance of "scientific and technological innovation", improve the level of digital intelligence of the whole chain, lead the industry to promote a new leap in productivity, and provide new competitiveness and lasting power for high-quality economic development.
