A Study On Industrial Chain Of Dairy Industry And Origination Pattern In China

Based on the dairying development history of China and the international experience, it is indicated that the dairying development is the direct result of the improvement of residents'income level and an important criterion for demonstrating the modernization of one nation's animal husbandry. Since the adoption of the reform and opening-up policies, the scale of cow-raising in China has continued to expand, the processing ability of enterprises has went up remarkably, the level of dairy consumption has risen steadily, which make important contributions to optimizes the agricultural structure, to increase the farmers' income, and to promote the quality of life. In past 10 year, the average annual growth rate of the dairying of China has been above 20%, but against the fast growth, actually presented a series of problems such as the slow-down of income increase on the part of cow-raisers, the decrease of the profits of the processing sector of the dairying industry, and even the melamine quality incident in 2008. Under the context, it is considered to be a new research angle that we make a study of the dairying's structure, its behavior and its performance, its law of development, its obstacles, its prospect and the policy-making from the point of view of the industrial chain.As the dairying industry is highly integrated, its development involves such links as the original milk production, the collection and transportation, the processing and packing, the circulation and marketing. So the competition of the dairy industry is not that of the single enterprise but that of the entire industrial chain. This article examines the dairy industry in the light of the analysis frame of the industrial chain with industrial organization's SCP analysis model, the game theory analysis method, the value chain analysis method, the case analysis and the econometric analysis method and has carried on a systematically theoretical discussion of and the empirical analyses of five key links of the longitudinal dairying industry chain and their cooperation mechanisms. It has analyzed the history of the dairying industry chain of China, the present situation and the trend of development comprehensively.The research's structure is: the preface includes the summary of the literature and elaborates the scientific significance the article, and then the first four chapters carries on the empirical analyses of the structure, the behavior, the performance of key links of the dairying industry chain, namely, the original milk production, the collection and transportation, the packing and processing, the logistics and the consumption. With the industrial organization theory and the transaction cost economics, it has discussed the present situation, the historical evolution, the industrial structure, and the main body behavior of the various links of the industrial chain as well as the economic achievements and the quality achievements produced from these links. Each chapter has offered the suggestion on policy-making. The sixth chapter has summarized the fundamental reason for the problems the industry has, and , on basis of industrial organization theory, proposed operational policies and measures which can ensure the healthy and fast development of the industryThe fundamental conclusion of this article is: the level of development of each link of our country dairy industry chain and the structural feature have decided the present situation of longitudinal cooperation of our country dairy industry chain; the uncoordinated industrial organization strength depending on the industrial history's mode causes the imbalanced mechanism of benefit links, which resulted in the low quality achievements and the underdevelopment of the entire industrial economy. If we want to solve the existing problems, only strengthening the policy supervision or supporting processing industry can not realize the goal, and we must change the existing industrial chain pattern, support original milk producers with the low negotiation ability to establish the cooperative society, and balance the related interests distribution mechanism to materialize the health sustainable development of the dairying industry.The followings are the innovative explorations in this paper: It(1)integrates the economic study of the dairying industry with the industrial chain's analysis frame and from the perspective of the structure, the behavior and the performance, strictly according to the industrial organization theory, make analyses of five key links of the dairying industry chain. Searches essential features and intrinsic determining factors of the industry chain longitudinal cooperation r. (2) For the first time, integrates the milk station with the industrial chain analysis, and conducts the deep research of the collection and the haulage of the original milk, and reveal the motivation for its behavior and the tendency of its behavior of the basic unit of this industrial chain. (3) Combining international experience and the practice of China, suggests that sustainable development of the dairying lie in the enhancement of organization degree in the original milk production link.
