Alcohol industry

Right!

The alcohol industry is a basic raw material industry, and its products are mainly used in food, chemical, military, pharmaceutical and other fields.

In recent years, stimulated by the continuously high crude oil price, the strong demand for fuel ethanol has promoted the strong growth of global alcohol production, and the United States surpassed Brazil to become the largest alcohol producer. The United States, Brazil, the European Union and China are the major economies of the current global alcohol industry.

The development of China's alcohol industry has a history of nearly 100 years, but the industrial foundation is very weak. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the development of the national economy and the promotion of the liquor liquor production method, the alcohol industry has entered a new stage of development. Heilongjiang, Jilin, Shandong, Anhui, Henan, Guangxi and other places have more developed alcohol manufacturing industries, and are currently the main alcohol producing areas in China.

The main raw materials of China's alcohol manufacturing industry were mainly corn and other grain raw materials. Since 2006, in order to ensure national food security, the government has begun to restrict the blind development of grain and alcohol. The "non-grain" trend of alcohol production raw materials is obvious. Non-grain raw materials such as cassava, sugar cane, sugar beet, and cellulose are widely used in alcohol production. Affected by the continued impact of oil prices, China's fuel ethanol industry has ushered in historic opportunities and has developed rapidly in recent years. China's cellulose ethanol is expected to achieve industrialization in 2010.

It is expected that the overall growth rate of China's alcohol manufacturing industry in 2009 will be slower than in 2008. The following two years (2010-2011), the trend of the transfer of alcohol production to the main raw material producing areas and the development of large-scale development will continue, large and medium Alcohol companies have dominated the market. Some backward production capacity will be gradually eliminated in the market competition, and small and medium-sized alcohol production enterprises will face the severe test of reorganization and integration.
