self owned pasture has the advantage of locking milk source
Milk source is the basis for the development of dairy enterprises, and the pasture link is the focus of the development of dairy industry chain. As the end demand of dairy products maintains a stable growth, in this case, dairy enterprises with their own farms will be more competitive.
According to public data, the number of dairy cows in China has fallen since reaching a new high of 8.75 million in 2007. On the one hand, the cost of raw and fresh milk is rising. Feed costs such as corn and alfalfa in the upper reaches continue to rise. On the other hand, China's dairy industry is at the outlet of low-temperature milk, and this track has higher requirements for high-quality milk. In the context of tight supply of raw milk in China, the importance of mastering high-quality pastures has become increasingly prominent if dairy enterprises want to obtain greater development space.
According to the Lanzhou Zhuangyuan Pasture Co.Ltd(002910) annual report, by the end of 2021, the company had 8 standardized dairy farms in operation in Gansu, Shaanxi and Qinghai respectively, with 17573 cows in stock (including 9085 adult cows, 5748 adult cows and 2740 calves). The number of cows in stock was 9.19% higher than 16094 at the end of 2020; The proportion of high-yield dairy cows has been further improved by continuously optimizing the herd structure and improving the fine management level of the pasture business department. The output of fresh milk in 2021 is about 84668 tons, up 54.96% from about 54639 tons in 2020. In order to further improve the milk source quality of its own pasture from the source, the company's pasture technology R & D center took the lead in fully launching the pasture digital management system in the first half of 2021, and the comprehensive, real-time and effective management of the pasture has been further improved.
The company's 2020 non-public offering of A-Shares raised and invested project "Jinchuan District 10000 head dairy cow recycling industrial park project" has laid out the golden milk source belt, which has reached the expected usable state by the end of 2021. After the project is fully completed, it can provide 68000 tons of high-quality raw milk every year, which will effectively deal with the risks such as shortage of raw milk source or cost fluctuation.
