Brand is strong and agriculture is promising (Economic Daily, 10th edition, November 22nd)

  Agricultural brand is an important symbol of agricultural and rural modernization, and cultivating and developing agricultural brand is an important starting point for comprehensively promoting rural revitalization and accelerating the construction of an agricultural power. In 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "Excellent Agricultural Brand Cultivation Plan (2022-2025)", which defined the objectives, tasks and measures for strengthening agricultural brands. In 2023, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee proposed to support poverty-stricken areas to build regional public brands. In this issue, invited experts will discuss issues related to brand strengthening agriculture.

  Actively cultivate agricultural brands

  What is the current development of agricultural brands in China?

  Hu Glacier (Director and Researcher, Agricultural Products Trade and Policy Research Office, Institute of Rural Development, China Academy of Social Sciences): Agricultural brand building is an important measure to promote the high-quality development of agriculture. Cultivating and developing agricultural brands is conducive to improving the modernization level of the whole agricultural industry chain, guiding the gathering of high-quality resources, and promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, which is an important way to increase farmers’ income and enhance agricultural competitiveness.

  In recent years, the state has issued a series of policies and measures around building agricultural brands. In 2022, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee proposed to carry out the actions of improving agricultural varieties, improving quality, building brands and improving standardized production. In 2023, the No.1 Document of the Central Committee proposed to support poverty-stricken areas to build regional public brands. In April this year, the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "Implementation Plan for Supporting Poverty-stricken Areas to Build Regional Public Brands (2023-2025)", emphasizing the efforts to build regional public brands in poverty-stricken areas and promoting the effective connection between consolidating and expanding poverty-stricken achievements and rural revitalization.

  All localities actively cultivate agricultural brands in light of their own reality. For example, Heilongjiang Province, as a major agricultural province, has made great efforts to build a provincial-level high-quality agricultural brand with "excellent black soil", build a "1141" agricultural brand system and build a life-cycle agricultural brand management mechanism. In order to strengthen the construction of agricultural brands and establish and improve the mechanism of cultivation, development and protection of agricultural brands, Hainan Province has promoted the establishment of an agricultural brand catalogue system.

  Agricultural brands have achieved practical results in promoting the quality and efficiency of agricultural industries. According to estimates, compared with 2012, in 2022, the output of public brand agricultural products in China agricultural brand catalogue area increased by nearly 55%, and the sales increased by nearly 80%, driving the income of local farmers to increase by 65%. From the current development of agricultural brands in China, it has the following characteristics.

  First, regional public brands, corporate brands and product brands have developed rapidly. According to the data of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, in recent years, agricultural and rural departments at all levels have further promoted brand strengthening agriculture and cultivated a number of influential agricultural brands. By the end of 2021, about 3,000 regional public brands, 5,100 enterprise brands and 6,500 product brands have been cultivated by provincial agricultural and rural departments. According to relevant reports, Wuchang Rice, as a regional public brand, has a brand value of 71.31 billion yuan in 2023.

  Second, the cultivation of agricultural brand products and brand assistance have achieved results. The "Excellent Agricultural Brand Cultivation Plan (2022-2025)" proposes that by 2025, we will focus on grain and oil, fruits and vegetables, tea, animal husbandry, aquatic products and other categories, build a number of regional public brands of agricultural products with excellent quality, distinctive features, strong driving force, high reputation and consumer loyalty, and cultivate and promote a number of enterprise brands and high-quality features with excellent products, good reputation, obvious industrial driving effect and core competitiveness. In 2022, 75 brands including Wuchang Rice, Enshi Potato, Luochuan Apple, Wenchang Chicken and jinxiang garlic were included in the agricultural brand quality cultivation plan, and 69 brands were included this year. In terms of agricultural brand assistance in poverty-stricken areas, by the end of 2022, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs had taken the lead in helping 20 key counties, and the average premium of branded agricultural products in poverty-stricken areas exceeded 20%.

  Third, the variety, quality and brand of agricultural products are integrated with each other. In the process of agricultural and rural economic development, the rapid growth of corporate brands has brought about market segmentation, which often reflects the quality differences in the early days. In recent years, with the continuous emergence of new crop varieties, the protection of intellectual property rights has gradually increased, and more and more new varieties are deeply bound to brands. For example, in 2022, many new corn varieties such as "Denghai 2035", "Denghai 2052" and "Denghai 2056" independently developed by Denghai Seed Industry passed the examination and approval, and "Denghai" became the brand prefix of crop varieties.

  Fourth, the ability of brand marketing and promotion has been improved, and the speed of brand renewal has been greatly accelerated. With the help of the Internet, agricultural brands promote consumer reach and sales through digital marketing. With the help of well-known exhibitions and other platforms at home and abroad, the promotion efforts have been intensified, and various channels such as video and live broadcast have been used to enhance the communication power. High-quality agricultural products have been sought after more and more, and new agricultural brands have begun to emerge, including many emerging, innovative and differentiated agricultural brands. For example, Xuwen pineapple, fire crystal persimmon and other high-quality agricultural products quickly became popular. Cultivating agricultural brands needs to consider long-term value, which also requires building a comprehensive brand development strategy.

  Fifth, the brand participation of consumers continues to increase. In the traditional sense, consumers’ contribution and participation to the brand depends on factors such as culture and habits. However, with the development of mobile Internet, more and more consumers’ feedback has been absorbed into the cultivation and development of agricultural brands. The relationship between agricultural brand cultivation and consumer feedback is getting closer and closer. Some consumers directly send the design drawings of product packaging and brand to manufacturers through short videos, and some consumers participate in brand promotion through media.

  We should also see that at present, there are still many problems in China’s agricultural brands, such as excessive but not refined, large but not strong, and brand influence needs to be improved, which is also the focus of brand promotion in the future. With the improvement of the level of economic and social development, more and more excellent agricultural brands will come to the fore, constantly meeting the people’s growing needs for a better life.

  Help improve agricultural quality and increase farmers’ income

  What is the role of agricultural brands in promoting agricultural quality and efficiency and increasing farmers’ income?

  Liu Naiyong (researcher, National Agricultural Market Research Center, China Agricultural University): In recent years, China’s agricultural brands have mushroomed, which not only allows consumers to enjoy more high-quality agricultural products, but also plays a significant role in promoting the high-quality development of agricultural industries and increasing farmers’ income.

  First of all, agricultural brand building has promoted the development of agricultural industry standardization. Agricultural products have natural non-standardized characteristics, and coupled with a series of processes such as cleaning, sorting, packaging, warehousing and logistics, it is difficult for agricultural products to maintain stable quality and consumption experience. Cultivating and developing agricultural brands has enabled many new agricultural operators to embark on the road of standardized production, and through modern industry and digital technology, the whole process of agricultural products from field to table has been standardized. In the process of brand building, agricultural business entities promote the whole agricultural industry to form a more mature division of labor system, optimize the efficiency of industrial factor input allocation, and greatly improve the total factor productivity of agricultural industry. For example, wuchang city, Heilongjiang Province, following the development idea of "building a brand, bringing vitality to an industry and enriching farmers", built a regional public brand of Wuchang rice, comprehensively promoted the standardized production of Wuchang rice, standardized all the processes and procedures such as seed, planting, storage, processing, environment and traceability management, established and improved the whole process standard system from field to table, and promoted the high-quality development of Wuchang rice, with an output value of about 16 billion yuan in 2021. Zhashui County, Shaanxi Province actively builds a regional public brand of auricularia auricula, cultivates a number of auricularia auricula strains unique to Zhashui, promulgates local standards in Shaanxi Province, establishes a technical service system for enterprise demonstration planting and the whole process of auricularia auricula industry, implements the standard awareness rate and reaches 100%, and promotes the transformation of auricularia auricula from relying on traditional experience to modern standardized production, achieving annual cultivation of about 100 million bags of auricularia auricula and production of about 5,000 tons of dried auricula, effectively driving farmers to increase their income.

  Secondly, agricultural brands communicate both ends of supply and demand, which promotes the adjustment and upgrading of agricultural industrial structure. By creating agricultural brands, the differentiated characteristics of agricultural products such as physical geography, production process, technology and product quality are passed on to consumers, and agricultural brands become a "bridge" for communication between producers and consumers. At the same time, in the process of cultivating and developing agricultural brands, changes in the consumer market are constantly fed back to agricultural business entities, promoting the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure. For example, Qingcaitou was originally a traditional planting variety in Fuling District, Chongqing, and pickled mustard tuber with it was a snack for people on both sides of the Yangtze River. With the fast pace of people’s life, the consumption demand of simple fast food, business trip and accompanying dishes is expanding rapidly. Grasping the opportunity of changing consumer demand, Fuling District has made great efforts to build a regional public brand of Fuling mustard tuber. While adhering to the traditional production techniques, it has continued to develop and promote excellent varieties with high yield and disease resistance and suitable for harvesting machines, keeping up with market development and demand, innovating product research and development, and building a brand matrix. Today, Fuling mustard tuber has become a pillar industry with an annual output value of more than 13 billion yuan. Traditional production techniques have been listed in the national intangible cultural heritage list. The products are sold all over the country and exported to Japan, Australia, the United States and other countries and regions.

  Thirdly, the creation of agricultural brands has promoted the upgrading of industries with traditional characteristics and advantages, and helped rural revitalization and farmers’ income increase. At present, China’s consumer demand has changed from focusing on quantity growth to pursuing quality life, and the development of agricultural industry has also paid more attention to improving quality and efficiency. Developing agricultural brands can effectively promote the upgrading of industries with traditional characteristics and advantages, and help revitalize rural industries and enrich the people and strengthen agriculture. For example, xuwen county is the largest pineapple producing area in China, accounting for more than one third of the country’s pineapple planting area. With the increasing variety of fruits, xuwen county has built Xuwen pineapple regional public brand, promoted excellent varieties of pineapple, issued regional public brand logos, established pineapple buyers’ alliance, vigorously organized the docking of production and marketing, and promoted Xuwen pineapple sales growth. The industrial output value climbed from 980 million yuan in 2018 to about 2.5 billion yuan in 2022, which led to about 50,000 farmers. There are many industries with traditional advantages like Xuwen pineapple in China, and brand building is a powerful means and an effective path to promote its upgrading, help rural industries revitalize and realize enriching the people and strengthening agriculture.

  "internet plus" promotes brand building

  What are the practices of cultivating and developing agricultural brands in China in e-commerce marketing and digital empowerment?

  Qi Yunlan (Research Fellow, Institute of Market Economy, the State Council Development Research Center): In recent years, all localities have attached great importance to the cultivation and development of agricultural brands, and used various marketing methods such as the Internet, e-commerce and new media to publicize agricultural brands, expand marketing channels of agricultural products, empower agricultural fields with digital technology, and enhance the level of agricultural modernization and promote the construction of agricultural brands through digitalization, networking and intelligence.

  The first is to introduce an e-commerce platform to help build a high-quality agricultural brand. From a national perspective, many villages and towns based on the advantages of local resources, by introducing e-commerce platforms such as Tmall and JD.COM, cultivate e-commerce talents, open up channels for production and marketing, and improve the scale and standardization level of production and sales of advantageous agriculture, so that one village (or several villages) can own a brand product or brand industry with great market potential, obvious regional characteristics and high added value. Moreover, the scale of some village-level dominant brand agricultural products has gradually expanded to towns and even counties, forming dominant industrial clusters with brand influence, and the brand development effect and spillover effect are remarkable. Taking changge city as an example, e-commerce has become an important starting point to promote the innovation and development of brand agriculture. Twenty well-known e-commerce platforms, such as Alibaba International Station, Tmall, AliExpress and JD.COM, were introduced locally, and more than 20,000 online stores were opened. In 2022, e-commerce transactions reached 16.7 billion yuan.

  The second is to strengthen the introduction and cultivation of e-commerce talents, widely use new media marketing methods such as live broadcast and short video, publicize and promote agricultural brands, and expand agricultural product marketing channels. From the practice of various places, great efforts have been made to strengthen the training and introduction of e-commerce talents and enrich product connotations and scenarios. Many local governments, together with industry associations, have organized training to explain the contents of "prospering agriculture through several businesses", live broadcasting with goods, brand building, etc., and trained a group of "new farmers" who have mastered the operation ability of new media to strengthen the promotion of agricultural brands. At the same time, build online celebrity products and expand the market influence of agricultural brands. In some places, in the construction of agricultural brands, through the cooperation of the government, enterprises, farmers and associations, the quality of agricultural products is improved and the brand connotation is enriched from the aspects of building a green production system and a quality and safety traceability system. With new e-commerce formats such as content e-commerce, interest e-commerce and social e-commerce as the carrier, we will build brand image through multiple platforms and channels, enrich marketing scenarios and promote the sales of agricultural products. According to data from the Ministry of Commerce, in the first half of 2023, the online retail sales of rural physical goods nationwide was 1.02 trillion yuan, up 11.3% year-on-year.

  Third, relying on big data of agricultural products trading and using digital technology as a means to optimize the whole agricultural industry chain and accelerate the development of agricultural branding. In recent years, rural e-commerce is extremely active, and a large number of online real-time transaction data are gathered in the process of agricultural products e-commerce transactions. Agricultural product producers and operators in various places use the user data of e-commerce platform to understand consumer demand in multiple dimensions, and apply big data acquisition and analysis technology to dynamically match the supply chain management of agricultural products and fill the shortcomings of sales channels. At the same time, improve the traceability system of agricultural products, standardize and optimize the whole industrial chain and supply chain of agricultural products from production, packaging, transportation, storage to sales and after-sales, and increase the added value and brand premium of agricultural products. For example, in promoting "developing agriculture through several businesses", Shanghai connects the supply and demand sides through platforms such as Life, Pinduoduo, and Meituan to promote the sales of agricultural products, especially brand-name agricultural products, and better meet the living needs of urban residents. According to a survey, 42.6% of Shanghai residents are willing to pay a premium of 10% to 30% to choose branded agricultural products, and the online repurchase rate is 84.1%.

  Fourth, give full play to the guiding role of the government. Relevant departments, in combination with the characteristics of regional agricultural resources, make clear the overall goal and development direction of regional agricultural products branding, and plan the integrated development of regional public brands and industrial clusters. In practice, all localities attach great importance to the construction of special agricultural products production and processing bases, logistics industrial parks, basic information networks and other facilities, providing a strong guarantee for large-scale production, sales and logistics. In particular, by uniting rural e-commerce enterprises, we will jointly build a warehouse-distribution logistics integration base and share warehouse-distribution manpower, material resources and site resources, thus significantly reducing the distribution cost of express delivery enterprises and the storage cost of rural e-commerce enterprises.

  To sum up, under the background of "internet plus", China’s agricultural brand cultivation methods have been continuously innovated, and the level of standardization, digitalization and traceability has been significantly improved. E-commerce, live broadcast, short video and other new media marketing channels have been widely used in the field of agricultural product marketing, and an agricultural brand development model based on standardized production and quality certification has been initially formed, with digital empowerment, production and marketing docking and brand building as the means.

  Focus on local products and create a golden business card for regional development

  How can all localities give full play to their unique resource advantages, do a good job in "local products" and promote the development of agricultural brands?

  Hu Xiaoyun (Director, China Agricultural Brand Research Center, China Rural Development Research Institute, Zhejiang University): Our country is rich in special agricultural products, which are unique in regional ecology, variety quality, technological characteristics, cultural connotation and product flavor. As an excellent local product, geographical indication agricultural products have become an important carrier to build agricultural brands.

  Since the beginning of this century, all localities have given full play to their unique resource advantages, done a good job in "local products" articles, from theoretical research to policy support, and started with the creation of regional public brands of agricultural products, so as to brand distinctive agricultural products, enhance the resource value of local products, and achieve a win-win situation for all parties.

  First, theoretical research helps the development of agricultural branding. The most distinctive resources in China’s agriculture are geographical indication agricultural products based on the ecological and cultural connotations of specific regions. The number of theoretical research results on the creation and management of special geographical indications and regional public brands is increasing. For example, the number of papers on China Knowledge Network with agricultural brands and regional public brands of agricultural products as keywords is increasing, and the theoretical support system for agricultural brand building is constantly being built. The theoretical research of relevant teams in colleges and universities has promoted the development of agricultural brands in China, especially the branding process of high-quality local products, and also promoted the introduction of relevant support policies.

  The second is to strengthen the protection and management of agricultural products with geographical indications. Based on an international perspective, relevant departments actively promote the protection of origin, the registration of geographical indications trademarks and the registration of geographical indications of agricultural products, promote the development of agricultural products with geographical indications, and learn from the international experience of agricultural products brand development to promote the system design of agricultural brand development. More and more attention has been paid to the development of agricultural brands in various places, and a series of agricultural brand building with local characteristics has been carried out. In 2019, new special signs for geographical indications were released. The Notice of the General Office of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs on Doing a Good Job in the Implementation of the Protection Project of Geographical Indications Agricultural Products in 2022 proposes to tap traditional farming culture and cultivate regional brands with geographical indication agricultural products as the core.

  Third, steadily promote the branding of agricultural products with geographical indications. All localities have promoted geographical indication agricultural products to create a regional public brand of agricultural products with a single category (industry), and become the leading brand and platform brand of local agriculture, which has enhanced the brand value of local products. For example, Yanchi County in Ningxia strives to build a regional public brand around Tan Sheep, and professional institutions design brand strategies and spread brands for it. Yanchitan sheep (meat) has been selected as a national geographical indication protection product, China Agricultural Brand Catalogue 2019 regional public brand of agricultural products, etc. In 2022, the total industrial chain output value of Tan sheep in Yanchi County reached 6.45 billion yuan, and the income from Tan sheep breeding accounted for more than 50% of the per capita disposable income of local farmers. At present, the regional public brands of agricultural products based on geographical indications have more and more market influence, and have formed a brand cluster effect.

  The fourth is to explore the creation of regional public brands of multi-category agricultural products. Based on the actual situation of mountainous areas in China, such as many agricultural categories, small scale, scattered planting blocks, unique varieties and techniques, relatively poor regional economy and weak regional influence, all localities explore and promote the construction of agricultural brands, create regional public brands of multi-category agricultural products, and force product standardization through branding to improve product quality. Relying on the unique mountain ecological environment, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province has built a regional public brand "Lishui Shangeng" (registered as a collective trademark) of multi-category agricultural products, gathered regional agricultural resources, let "mountain products" go out of the "mountain gate" and enhance the brand value of ecological fine agricultural products. It has formed many industries such as fungi, tea, fruits, vegetables and medicines, and the annual sales of "Lishui Shangeng" agricultural products exceeded 10 billion yuan. Chongqing’s "Ba Wei Yu Zhen", Gansu’s "Gan Wei", Inner Mongolia’s "Tian Fu Hetao", Shandong’s "Jining Li Yi" and Zhejiang’s "Sanqu Wei" and other multi-category regional public brands of agricultural products also rely on the historical and cultural characteristics of various places to strengthen the cultural, narrative, unique and intangible value premium functions of the brands, highlighting the cultural value of local high-quality local specialties.

  At present, relying on rural regional ecology and high-quality local products to build agricultural brands, local characteristics and cultural values are highlighted, making local local products a golden business card for regional development and effectively promoting local economic development.

Prospect of soda ash market in 2024

  In 2023, the soda ash market experienced great changes, and the price fluctuation was obviously intensified. This paper mainly analyzes the changes of soda ash market in 2023, and looks forward to the changes and unchanged in 2024.

  I. Important changes in soda ash market in 2023

  In 2023, the soda ash market has undergone many changes, both in supply and demand, and in the market competition pattern. As an important part of three acids and two alkalis, soda ash is known as the "mother of chemical industry". Because of its high degree of standardization and relatively easy preservation, there are more participants in soda ash futures and spot. On the whole, the changes of soda ash market in 2023 include the following five aspects:

  First, the price fluctuation cycle of soda ash is shortened, and the price elasticity is intensified. Taking the price fluctuation of 1000 yuan/ton as the boundary, it will take several months or even years for soda ash to get out of a 1000 yuan/ton band before 2022, and the soda ash market will experience two waves of 1,000 yuan rise and two waves of 1,000 yuan fall in 2023. In 2023, the huge fluctuation of soda ash showed the characteristics of short-term strong outbreak, and most of the thousand-point market in the year was completed within 1.5-2.0 months. This change has an obvious impact on market participants. If we can’t change our thinking quickly, both spot and futures operations are prone to losses.

  The picture shows the trend of domestic soda ash futures and spot prices from 2021 to 2023 (unit: RMB/ton).

  Second, the supply of soda ash continued to increase, and the production capacity increased to a new high. In 2023, the domestic output of soda ash was about 32.54 million tons, an increase of 3.34 million tons, with an increase of 11.44%. This output accounts for nearly half of the global soda production, and has reached a record high. The sharp increase of soda ash production in 2023 is mainly affected by the release of daily production capacity and the increase of operating rate. In 2023, the domestic soda production capacity will increase by 6.3 million tons.Head enterprises represented by Jinshan, Henan Province continued to expand their production capacity. In 2023, the profits of ammonia-alkali method and combined alkali method (double tons) were 876 yuan/ton and 1387 yuan/ton respectively, which stimulated the operating rate to increase by 2.78% to 88.04% during the year.

  Third, the concentration of soda ash upstream is further improved. The biggest change of soda ash market in 2023 is the sharp increase of industry concentration, and the leading enterprises’ control over prices is obviously enhanced. According to the data of Baichuan Yingfu, by the end of 2023, the effective production capacity of domestic soda ash was about 37.8 million tons, among which the top three enterprises (Henan Jinshan, Boyuan Yingen,The total production capacity is 13.2 million tons, accounting for 34.92%; The total production capacity of the top ten enterprises is 23.7 million tons, accounting for 62.70%. If the production capacity of the same group is combined, the top five enterprises in Henan Jinshan, Zhongyan Group,The total production capacity is about 22.1 million tons, accounting for 58.47%; By the end of 2022, the production capacity of the top five soda enterprises accounted for about 51.11%. Not only is the number improved, but Jinshan, Henan Province is the lowest-cost soda enterprise in China and the lowest-cost chemical soda enterprise in China. The market share of low-cost enterprises has increased, and the impact of the change in operating rate on the market has greatly increased. In addition, China National Salt Group, which ranks in the top five, is the main producer of soda ash delivery products in China, and the domestic soda ash production cost is high. The ecological environment in Qinghai is fragile, environmental protection problems are prone to repeated fermentation, the cost of seawater is high, the price sensitivity is high, and it is easy to reduce production after losses.

  Fourth, the downstream demand of soda ash reached a record high. In 2023, the domestic total consumption of soda ash was about 31.32 million tons, an increase of nearly 2 million tons compared with 2022. The main increase comes from the increase of photovoltaic glass production. From January to November 2023, the domestic photovoltaic glass output was 22,593,300 tons, an increase of 8,119,300 tons compared with the same period of last year, with a growth rate of 56.10%. It is estimated that the domestic photovoltaic glass output will be 25 million tons in 2023, an increase of 8.8 million tons compared with the same period of last year, and the demand for soda ash will increase by 1.76 million tons. In addition to the impact of the increase in photovoltaic glass production, the increase in lithium carbonate production also brought about some increase.

  Fifth, soda ash imports hit a new high for many years. In 2023, the export volume of soda ash was about 1.47 million tons, and the import volume was about 770,000 tons, which reached a new high in more than ten years. In 2023, overseas soda production capacity increased slightly, but the growth rate of overseas demand was low. In 2023, the center of gravity of domestic soda ash price moved up, and the spot price rose above 3,000 yuan/ton for many times. After the price difference between domestic and foreign markets was opened, leading glass enterprises and large traders actively imported natural alkali with lower price, mainly American alkali and Turkish alkali. According to the CIF price of US$ 210/ton and the exchange rate of US$ 7.10 against RMB, the total cost of importing trona (including customs duties, value-added tax and transportation fees) for glass enterprises is only RMB 2,000/ton. When the domestic price rises above 2600 yuan/ton, and the price difference is greater than that of 600 yuan/ton, even considering the risk of falling spot price, the import is still profitable.

  Second, the change and invariability of soda ash market in 2024

  1. Constant: High volatility continues.

  The constant price of soda ash, a basic chemical, will be its frequent change, and the high fluctuation characteristics of soda ash will continue in 2024. Soda soda, a non-hazardous chemical, has a high degree of standardization, so it has been widely concerned by market funds. In addition to institutional investors, in recent years, soda production, consumption and trade enterprises have also actively participated in the futures market, and the current institutions are constantly emerging and their influence on the market is increasing. In the constant game of the market, the price fluctuation of soda ash is also obviously intensified, and the high fluctuation will continue in the future.

  Due to the high fluctuation of soda ash, there are obvious hedging opportunities in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the industrial chain. From 2021 to now, domestic spot price and futures of Shahe heavy soda ashThe price difference of the contract fluctuates obviously, and most of the futures are discounted to the spot, but there have also been several waves of futures premium spot trends. Under the pessimistic expectation, the soda ash futures price in 2023 is mostly discounted in cash, but two waves of soda ash surge in the year make the basis quickly repaired. At present, the soda ash market is still characterized by a large discount on spot futures, and downstream enterprises should actively pay attention to the opportunity to buy soda ash near the cost price in the distant month for hedging. Upstream enterprises rely on spot prices to sell recent contracts for hedging.

  2. unchanged: the expectation of oversupply is hard to change.

  Since March 2023, the main trading logic of soda ash market has been the expectation of oversupply brought by production capacity. In 2023, the domestic soda production capacity increased by 6.3 million tons, and there are still nearly 3 million tons of production capacity to be released in 2024. According to the production pace of soda ash, the oversupply of soda ash in 2024 is expected to be obvious, especially in the first half of the year, there are few maintenance arrangements for enterprises, and the supply pressure brought by new production capacity will have a greater impact on prices, and the trend of SA2405 is downward.

  3. No change: the maintenance effect will continue to ferment.

  In 2023, the soda ash market fluctuated greatly, and besides the impact of the release rhythm of new capacity, the phased maintenance of old equipment also had a more obvious impact on the price. The surge of soda ash from July to August, 2023 was driven by "delayed launch of new production capacity" and "large-scale overhaul of old equipment", and the surge of soda ash in November, 2023 basically continued the dual drive. Looking forward to 2024, the spot and futures prices of soda ash will face obvious price pressure in the first half of the year, with the increase in imports and the release of new capacity at the beginning of the year, and the maintenance in the first half of the year is usually less. If the price drops sharply in the first half of the year, especially after falling below the cost of ammonia-alkali process, the overhaul of soda ash market will increase obviously, and it is likely to exceed the supply increment brought by new production capacity. From the time point of view, the large-scale overhaul of soda ash in 2024 may take place in June-August, and the double pressure of high temperature superposition and falling prices in summer will promote the overhaul of soda ash enterprises. If the maintenance happens as scheduled, the price of soda ash is likely to rebound in stages.

  The table shows the influence matrix of soda plant commissioning and maintenance on the price.

  4, unchanged: photovoltaic glass brings incremental demand.

  In 2023, 19 domestic photovoltaic glass production lines will be added, and the daily melting capacity will increase by 19,750 t/d to 99,810 t/d. In 2023, the incremental demand of photovoltaic glass for soda ash will be nearly 1.8 million tons. In 2024, domestic photovoltaic glass will still be in the cycle of capacity expansion, and the demand for soda ash will increase, which will still be the main source of incremental demand for soda ash. Affected by the early warning system of photovoltaic glass production capacity and the slowdown of demand growth, after considering the maintenance and other factors, it is estimated that the domestic photovoltaic glass production capacity will increase by 20,000-25,000 t/d to 120,000-125,000 t/d in 2024, the annual output will increase by about 6 million tons, and the demand for soda ash will increase by 1.2 million tons.

  5. Constant: Downstream demand remains rigid.

  In 2023, the market of soda ash is mainly driven by the supply side, and the demand side is relatively less sensitive to the price. The downstream of heavy alkali is mainly used for float glass and photovoltaic glass, while the downstream demand of light alkali is relatively dispersed but closely related to food, clothing, housing and transportation. Before the price of soda ash rose above 3000 yuan/ton, the demand of heavy alkali and light alkali changed little; When the price rises above 3000 yuan/ton, the downstream of heavy alkali will obviously reduce the purchase, and some downstream of light alkali will reduce the production to reduce the loss. Because the demand for soda ash is relatively rigid, changes in the supply side will lead to huge price fluctuations. With the continuous increase of photovoltaic glass production, the proportion of heavy alkali demand will continue to increase, and the change of soda ash demand side will be smaller.

  6. Change: non-traditional demand or exceeding expectations

  In 2024, the demand for soda ash is expected to increase by 2 million tons, which is close to that in 2023. The incremental demand brought by photovoltaic glass is slightly reduced, and the demand for float glass is slightly increased. Represented by lithium carbonateThe demand for alkali will increase, and new fields such as nano-zinc oxide will create some new demand areas. On the whole, the demand for soda ash in 2024 is not pessimistic, and we will continue to pay attention to the production capacity of photovoltaic glass and the non-traditional demand changes represented by lithium carbonate in the later period.

  7. Change: the end of the high-profit pattern

  On the whole, the pattern of soda ash market in 2024 is set to be loose supply, especially in the first half of the year. In 2024, the expectation of oversupply in soda ash market will be fulfilled with a high probability, and the price center may be significantly lower than that in 2023. According to the average price of 2000 yuan/ton of heavy alkali, the average profit of ammonia-alkali process may drop to 200-300 yuan/ton in 2024, which is obviously lower than the average profit of 876 yuan/ton in 2023. In 2024, soda ash spot enterprises may experience staged losses, and individual enterprises may withdraw from the market.

  8. Change: The overall operating rate of the industry will decline.

  Under the background of production capacity, it is expected that the price of soda ash will drop and the profit will drop in 2024, and the industry operating rate will decline. Among them, the low-cost natural alkali may maintain a high operating rate, and the operating rate of high-cost combined alkali and ammonia-alkali method may show a downward trend. Periodic losses and maintenance may lead to the operating rate of soda ash industry falling below 80%.

  9. Change: The import volume may be significantly reduced.

  In 2023, the import of soda ash increased sharply, and the core reason was the expansion of internal and external price difference. In 2024, the operation center of soda ash price will move down and the import window will be closed. It is estimated that exports will drop significantly in 2024, and the annual export volume may drop to around 400,000 tons, which is lower than 770,000 tons in 2023.

  10. Change: The mode of trade may continue to change.

  Influenced by the opportunity brought by the fluctuation of soda ash price, a large number of current institutions have emerged in the domestic soda ash market since 2021, among which Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai-based institutions are deeply involved. With the advantages of capital, talents and information, current merchants have become one of the leading forces in soda pricing. Through the combination of existing machines, the spot price has become an important way of soda ash spot circulation. Leading float glass enterprises, such as Qibin and Xinyi, also began to use the point price to purchase. Under the impact of the new model, the trade pattern of soda ash has changed greatly, especially in Shahe and Hubei, two delivery warehouses.

  11. Change: the direction or change of goods.

  In 2023, a large amount of new capacity of soda ash was released, among which 4 million tons of new capacity of Yuanxing Energy and 2 million tons of new capacity of Jinshan, Henan Province had the most significant impact. Due to the limited consumption of soda ash in northwest China, most of the soda ash in Inner Mongolia and Qinghai needs to be sold abroad. With the continuous release of new production capacity, the trade pattern of domestic soda ash market will also change in the future. The low-cost Yuanxing trona will mainly circulate in the northern region, and Henan Jinshan will further enhance its market share in Central China and East China. The original soda enterprises with North China and Central China as the main consumption areas will pay more attention to the regional markets such as East China and South China in the future, and the competition will be more intense.

  12. Change: Downstream pricing power will be significantly enhanced.

  In 2024, the price of soda ash shows a downward trend as a whole, the upstream pricing power will be weakened, the downstream pricing power will be enhanced, and the profit of the industrial chain is expected to be reconstructed. In the downward price stage, the downstream wait-and-see mood may intensify, leading to "negative feedback" in the spot market. When the price of soda ash falls to near the cost of ammonia and alkali, downstream enterprises may increase their replenishment efforts, and then the inventory will be transferred from upstream to downstream. Benefiting from the downward trend of raw material prices, the profit of float glass in 2024 may be slightly better than that in 2023. (Author:Futures)

Pre-tightening torque of valve cover mounting screws 5

Explain the valve knee.

The one I received was not practical, but a model, but this one is really not a model.

First of all, let’s have a look. For example, the mouth here is one, which means two, and this is two. This is one with six, and this is two. This side should be six sevens, and the back side should be eight at the top. This side must follow the drawing, and I don’t remember it clearly. It has to be played against it.

The torque on this side is 10 Nm in all aspects. The warning is 5 Nm first, and the tightening is 10 Nm after warning is 5 Nm. The two screws on this side correspond to the screws on the exhaust socket pipe, and this side should also be 10 and 12. These two should be two when they were wrong just now. The ignition coil is inside, and the cannon plug is inside. The electromagnetic side is brand new.

Isn’t there a bypass room here after loading, so there is a gift here, so you must push it up after loading with this small bag, otherwise it will be pressure-relieved, and it will be exactly the same as whether it is loaded or not, and the waste gas will still be oily here, so this thing should be inserted in time after loading.

Here is the antifreezing valve, and here is the antifreezing valve of the exhaust pipe. It costs 39 yuan to buy the pipe, the oil inlet and the cover separately. This is a complete set.

    CCTV News (Reporter Chu Dekun reports from Shenyang): In the development history of China machinery industry, there are two enterprise names such as Lei Guaner: Shenyang Heavy Industry Group Corporation and Shenyang Mining Group Corporation. As the "mother machine" of China’s heavy machinery industry, it was once a symbolic enterprise of China’s machinery industry towards industrialization and a business card of Shenyang. In history, Shenyang, an old industrial base, has been famous for its many glories created by Shenzhong and Shenkuang. 


    On the morning of December 16th, looking back on the five-year revitalization? The interview group of the network media in the northeast came to Tiexi District, Shenyang, and visited and interviewed northern heavy industries Group Co., Ltd., which was revitalized after the reorganization of Shenzhong and Shenkuang.

    If it is said that entering the top 500 machinery companies in China and the top 500 machinery companies in the world is the embodiment of the comprehensive strength of enterprises, then having the manufacturing capacity of shield machines shows that northern heavy industries Group Company has already possessed the core elements of a world-class enterprise, and changed its past products. Big black and rough "image, realize gorgeous turn to become a" high-precision "product manufacturer of major equipment.

    Shield machine is known as the most advanced large underground boring machine in the world, and it is a representative of national industrial level. When it comes to northern heavy industries, we can’t help but pay great attention to its core product shield machine. The independent research and development of shield machine is the highlight of major innovation of northern heavy industries Group. With the goal of building the world’s largest shield machine manufacturing base, northern heavy industries Group Company has made a series of optimization and integration on the existing resources of shield machines, forming a strong technological innovation capability.

    The workers in the factory told the reporter such an example. On December 8th, the old factory of northern heavy industries Group reloaded the workshop, and the workers were actively assembling two hard rock roadheader machines with a diameter of 5.94m and two EPB shield machines with a diameter of 6.28m for Wuhan Metro. Adapting to the old factory is the reloading workshop of the new factory in northern heavy industries, which is located in Shenxi Industrial Corridor. Workers are debugging three shield machines for Shenzhen Metro and Shenyang Metro, ready for acceptance. It is very rare for an enterprise to assemble seven shield machines at the same time in China and even in the world.

    At present, the financial crisis that originated in the United States will inevitably have a certain impact on northern heavy industries Group, which provides equipment for major projects such as mining, metallurgy, electric power and mining. According to preliminary statistics, the suspension of construction contracts has reached 1.9 billion. However, the decision-makers in northern heavy industries clearly realized and seized the business opportunities contained in the crisis. They took precautions and put forward that they should make full use of their own advantages in the crisis, create new business opportunities, open up new markets and turn the crisis into an opportunity for development.

    At present, northern heavy industries Group not only designs and produces all three types of shield machines in the world, but also produces the largest diameter shield machine in the world. At present, the company has received a total of 37 orders for shield machines, with a total contract amount exceeding 3 billion yuan. Shield machine not only greatly enhances the corporate image of northern heavy industries, but also becomes the most important tool for enterprises to cope with the world financial crisis.

Ministry of Public Security: Cutting off the interest chain can completely eliminate the "yellow" source of the network.

  ● In the process of handling cases, we often receive reports from ordinary people, but after investigation, we found that although some pictures look "yellow", they can only be regarded as pornography. For pornography, we can’t deal with it according to criminal law, and even it is difficult to deal with it according to public security cases. It is precisely because there is no explicit provision on pornography in the law that some websites, forums and blogs take the opportunity to play the "edge ball".


  ● Another hurdle to completely eradicate online obscenity and pornography is how to cut off the interest chain of criminals. Cut the chain of interests, and the pornographic information on the Internet will be like cutting leeks, and it will be difficult to get rid of the roots.


  Liu Ming (a pseudonym), a 17-year-old high school student, was originally excellent in academic performance, and attending a key university is just around the corner. However, by chance, Liu Ming broke into the "forbidden zone" of the network. Under the poison of naked obscene performances, he raped Tingting, an 8-year-old girl from his neighbor’s house, many times.


  The favored son of heaven, who is about to enter the ivory tower, was finally mired in online obscenity and pornography, and received a verdict of three years’ imprisonment from the court of Kashgar Reclamation Area of Xinjiang Corps.


  The relevant person in charge of the Internet Security Management Office of the Public Information Network Security Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security said in an interview with reporters today that the development and spread of harmful information such as online obscenity and pornography have brought serious harm to the masses, especially teenagers. To some extent, online obscene pornographic information is a booster for teenagers to embark on the road of crime and one of the important incentives.


  Obscene pornographic information has been significantly reduced.


  According to reports, 13 ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Information Industry and the General Administration of Press and Publication, launched a nationwide special campaign to crack down on harmful information such as online obscenity and pornography according to law from January to October this year. Up to now, it has been found that more than 2.4 million pieces of illegal and harmful information on the domestic Internet have been cleared, and more than 20,000 illegal websites and online information service columns have been closed. Among them, there are more than 1.6 million obscene and pornographic information. Local public security organs have also cracked more than 420 cases of obscenity and pornography.


  "Search engines are the first gateway for many netizens to access the Internet. Holding this gateway will also block the’ throat’ of online obscenity and pornography." The person in charge said.


  According to reports, Beijing public security organs organized Baidu, Google, Yahoo and other units to carry out centralized clean-up and rectification of search engines. In a short week, 154 million harmful information pages were blocked, more than 7 million harmful information links were removed, and 1.53 million obscene and pornographic pictures were deleted.


  "We have technically filtered harmful information such as obscenity and pornography to ensure that the influence of bad information is eliminated from the source. At the same time, we have also strengthened network supervision and cracked a number of typical major cases." The person in charge told reporters.


  In January 2008, the public security organs in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province cracked a case in which love figure Park, with a physical address in the United States and more than 200,000 members, spread obscene articles for profit, and successively moved to Liaoning, Hubei, Henan and other places to arrest six suspects, including Xie.


  In March 2008, police in Zhuhai, Guangdong, busted a criminal gang that used the Internet to organize cross-border pornographic performances, destroyed 22 dens of obscene pornographic performances set up by the gang in Zhuhai, and arrested 13 suspects suspected of organizing obscene pornographic performances, involving nearly 30 million RMB.


  The person in charge said that after 10 months of joint crackdown and rectification by multiple departments, the obscene pornographic information on the Internet in China has been significantly reduced, and it has been difficult for netizens to find websites that post obscene information naked.


  Internet pornography exploited legal loopholes.


  Although in recent years, the Ministry of Public Security and other relevant departments have launched a special campaign to crack down on harmful information such as online obscenity and pornography every year, after the action, some obscene and pornographic information remains, and even new information emerges constantly.


  The person in charge gave the reporter an analysis of the deep-seated reasons for the repeated deletion of online obscenity and pornography.


  "In the minds of many netizens, obscenity is equal to pornography, and the two are a concept. In fact, the two are very different in law. " The person in charge explained that according to the provisions of Article 367 of the Criminal Law, obscene articles refer to obscene books, films, video tapes, audio tapes, pictures and other obscene articles that specifically describe sexual behavior or openly promote pornography. Pornography has no relevant definition in law.


  "In the process of handling cases, we often receive reports from ordinary people, but after investigation, we found that although some pictures have bare backs and thighs and look very’ yellow’, they can only be regarded as pornography." The person in charge said, "For pornography, we can’t deal with it according to the criminal law, and even it is difficult to deal with it according to public security cases."


  The reporter learned that it is precisely because there is no explicit provision on pornography in the law that some websites, forums and blogs took the opportunity to play the "edge ball". Individual small and medium-sized websites publish a large number of pictures, words and audio-visual information with vulgar content and low style to attract netizens and increase website popularity and income.


  "These pornographic information are more harmful to teenagers than obscene information." The person in charge analyzed that these provocative pictures can even induce some teenagers to go to the road of no return.


  Only by cutting off the interest chain can the roots be eradicated.


  Another hurdle that needs to be crossed in order to completely eradicate online obscenity and pornography is how to cut off the interest chain of criminals. The person in charge told the reporter that at present, many criminals are abroad or transfer their servers overseas. When the public security organs take action, they can only get rid of the downline and the messenger, and it is difficult to destroy the entire obscene network.


  "Without breaking the interest chain of criminals, online obscene pornographic information will be like cutting leeks, and it will be difficult to get rid of the roots." The person in charge said with some regret that adult pornographic websites are legal in foreign countries, such as the United States and Japan.


  In addition, the network obscenity and pornography crimes are gradually hidden and underground. In recent years, with the rise of paid online literature, some "writers" deliberately add obscene content to their works to attract netizens to browse and increase the number of clicks.


  "These obscene information are generally mixed in the depths of the text of the article, and they can’t be found at all from the homepage and the beginning of the website. They are very camouflage." The person in charge said that this has objectively increased the difficulty of cracking down.


  "Internet obscene pornographic information can’t be cracked down by public security organs alone. It also needs the public, including the majority of netizens, to jointly resist the bad trend of online vulgarity. Only through website self-discipline and netizens’ awareness of law-abiding can we really clean up the dirt on the Internet." The person in charge said. (Reporter Wei Xu)
