In the long run, Baijiu consumption is sticky, consumer demand is stable, and the potential energy for inflation remains, and the fundamentals remain good. In terms of mass food, the grain exports of Russia and Ukraine account for about one third of the total global exports.

The demand rigidity of mass food industry is strong, and it is easy to pass on cost pressure to consumers through price increase. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine will further push up the cost pressure of mass food enterprises. The mass food industry may usher in a second price increase, and the downstream price increase logic is expected to be continuously verified.
