Nestle Pressure Costs Remain Hidden &Nbsp; Manual Milking Is Worrying.

Nestle, the world's largest food company, was recently released by the media in Shuangcheng, Heilongjiang.

Shuangcheng is a big cattle raising market in Heilongjiang Province, and is the main source of milk in China.

Reporters learned that the local dairy farmers are still basically using the old way of artificial milking.

The whole process lasted for 2-3 hours, and there were many unclosed links such as milking barrels, milk cans, milk station weighing tanks, milk station milk pots and milk station milk cans. Milk station workers even used nets to salvage impurities such as grass ends in milk pots.

Dairy expert Wang Dingmian told reporters in an interview in October 24th that the whole process of manual milking is long and not closed, and can not be cooled rapidly. It is easy to disinfect thoroughly. The quality of milk can not be guaranteed if the total number of bacteria is increased.

The reporter has learned that the regulations on the quality and safety of dairy products issued in October 2008 stipulate that the fresh milk containers should be lowered to 0-4 degrees within 2 hours after milking.

Manual milking mode can not meet this requirement.

Song Liang, an analyst at the China commercial circulation Productivity Promotion Center, said that after the melamine incident, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Guangdong and other places all accelerated the pace of mechanization, and the development of large-scale aquaculture was also faster.

However, because of the old mode of the enterprise's connection with the dairy farmers, the Shuangcheng area still has the main mode of the scattered households, and the supporting facilities are advancing slowly.

From this point of view, Nestle is not sustainable in development compared with Mengniu and Erie.

Why does Nestle still insist on backward manual milking? The local dairy farmers say that the milk station is Nestle Company, Nestle is not equipped with mechanized equipment, let the dairy farmers themselves invest, and a new milking equipment needs seven thousand or eight thousand yuan, so the dairy farmers simply can not afford it.

Song Liang thinks Nestle does not want to spend more money on supporting facilities such as epidemic prevention and milking.

"It can be said that in the past 20 years, Nestle's demand for China's dairy industry is far greater than its investment."

According to Xinhua news agency, Nestle Company has 76 milk stations in Shuangcheng. If the investment is pformed into mechanized milk pumping station, each milk station will have to invest at least 1 million yuan and 76 milk stations for about 76 million yuan.

According to the performance report released by Nestle in October 20th, Nestle's business income increased by 7.3% to 60 billion 890 million Swiss francs in the first three quarters of 2011, and the growth of Asian performance was the main driving force.

The reporter went to interview Nestle (China) public relations manager He Tongfa to interview the outline, and did not receive a reply as of press release.

As for the issue of dairy farmers and milk prices, Nestle's external response is "Nestle in Shuangcheng for 20 years. It has made a visible contribution to the local economy, dairy farmers and communities. It will seriously investigate the incident with the government, and if it is true, it will be resolved in a timely and serious manner."

The price of Nestle milk powder belongs to the middle price.

However, such milk quality is doubtful of the value of money.

Song Liang said that Nestle's milk powder prices are not low.

In a second tier city, the price of Nestle milk powder is lower than that of pure imports, but higher than that of domestic products, mainly because Nestle's brand value is at play.
