In recent years, China has been gradually adopting advanced technologies such as sterilization, preservation, active packaging, and antibacterial packaging. These innovations are being introduced through imported equipment, as domestic development in these areas is still in its early stages. Some companies are beginning to study these technologies to develop their own products. During the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period, only about one-third of high-end equipment was domestically produced, with most of the rest being imported for local use. Due to limited investment in research and development, it will take at least a decade before China can close the gap with global standards.
Yue Shuxue, former chairman of the China Food and Packaging Machinery Industry Association, emphasized this challenge. However, there is also optimism. According to Governor Yue Li, exports are expected to grow rapidly, especially as some domestic technologies become suitable for markets in Southeast Asia, Russia, the Middle East, and Africa. Recent export growth has exceeded 20%, and efforts should be made to support enterprises in expanding their international presence by participating in foreign exhibitions and receiving financial assistance.
The industry's development goals under the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" include achieving a 17% growth rate, with food and packaging machinery sales reaching between 130 and 135 billion yuan by 2010. The number of product varieties is expected to increase from 4,700 to 5,700, with 500 products meeting domestic needs and export delivery value reaching $1 billion.
Technological advancements include the completion of a 6,000 atmosphere pilot line for high-pressure sterilization by the China Packaging and Food Machinery Corporation, with plans for a larger production line by 2010. Microwave sterilization lines need expansion, while electric and magnetic field sterilization require further breakthroughs. Aseptic production workshops and high-barrier packaging materials for milk are also key targets.
In terms of product level, 20% of products should reach international advanced standards by the early 21st century, 50% should match 1990s-level technology, and others must meet late-1980s standards. Manual and semi-mechanized systems will be phased out, and automation and efficiency must improve.
Economic efficiency goals include raising the profit margin on product sales from 6.9% to 10%. This requires differentiated competition and eliminating low-quality, cost-cutting producers.
Structural adjustments aim to concentrate manufacturing in the Yangtze and Pearl River Deltas, while promoting sheet metal parts and modular processing in Jiangsu, Shanghai, Wenzhou, and Shantou. This will enable mass production, improve quality, reduce costs, and enhance competitiveness. High-efficiency, technologically advanced equipment will replace outdated, energy-intensive machines.
New product development during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" includes liquid filling equipment, plastic container manufacturing, corrugated cardboard boxes, and more. Equipment for processing potatoes, beans, fruits, vegetables, grains, oil crops, and aquatic products will also be developed, along with tools for purifying traditional Chinese medicine components.
