日前,从全国麦芽工业协会传来消息,今年国内啤洒大麦市场将持续走强。主要销势是国内产量下降,国外进口减少,市场供应不足,价格小幅反弹,涨幅为13%左右。其主要原因是:一是啤酒产量增加据有关资料显示,目前我国啤酒生产企业已达600家以上,啤酒产量呈逐年上升趋势。1998年全国啤酒产量为1900万吨,1999年上升至2000万吨,今年预计升至2100万吨左右,这将使我国成为世界上最大的啤酒产销国。二是啤酒产量下降我国啤酒大麦的主产区分布在西北、江浙和东北,近三年由于主产区分别遭受水灾、干旱、低温等自然灾害,从1998年至今,啤麦产量逐年下降,每年以1.0%的速度递减,其产量只能满足国内啤酒生产企业总需求的50%左右。三是国外进口减少为保证国内啤酒生产企业有足够原料供应,我国每年需从国外进口占总需量60%～70%的啤麦。据外贸部门统计,近两年我国 Recently, news came from the National Association of Malt Industry, this year’s domestic beer sprinkled barley market will continue to strengthen.

Second, the decline in beer production The main producing areas for barley in China are located in the northwest, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Northeast China. Since the main producing areas were hit by natural disasters such as floods, droughts and low temperatures respectively in recent three years, the output of barley declined year by year from 1998 to now. Decreased by 1.0%, its output can only meet about 50% of the total demand of domestic beer producers.
