CPPCC member stresses optimal use of beef import quotas

    Recently, delegates from various sectors have turned their focus to the beef cattle farming industry, proposing multiple valuable suggestions aimed at aiding in alleviating industry challenges and driving long-term development. These recommendations and insights span policy support, technological innovation, industrial upgrading, and market regulation, collectively charting a blueprint for the future of the sector.

     In recent years, rising living standards have driven a surge in public demand for high-quality beef, ushering in a golden era for China’s premium beef cattle industry. As a major agricultural province, Heilongjiang boasts unique advantages for developing this sector, including 47 million tons of straw feed resources and 10 million mu of grasslands.

    To advance grading standards, China should establish a distinctive beef grading and certification system tailored to national conditions, integrate resources across the entire industrial chain, and set up third-party certification bodies to ensure transparent consumer choices. In terms of technological innovation and commercialization, creating an industry development fund to leverage private capital, increasing R&D investment, and supporting breakthroughs in core technologies will be critical.
