Canned food that no one eats in China is popular all over the world? Sold nearly 50 billion a year? In 2022, we exported 3.125 million tons of canned food, worth 6.89 billion US dollars, equivalent to 474 small targets (47.4 billion), why has it become a sought-after commodity abroad?
In the seventies and eighties of the last century, our material conditions were not great, so canned food was a luxury, every New Year to go home to pick up gifts, there must be XX cans, who was sick and injured and hospitalized, family members bought canned food to supplement nutrition
The most famous is canned yellow peaches, which everyone had been positive in the past few months, resulting in canned yellow peaches out of stock, because they were sick when they were children and often ate, and now they have become placebos.
As life slowly gets better, everyone eats fresh fruits and vegetables, freshly baked braised pork, boiled fish, nine-turn large intestine, is it not fragrant? Have to eat something that has been in a jar for months and years? If it's you, which do you choose between the nine-turn large intestine and the canned food?
In recent years, China's canned food sales have fallen in an avalanche. There are statistics that an average Chinese only eats 1 kg of canned food per year, while a European can eat an average of 100 pounds of canned food per year, and Lao Mei is even more ruthless, a person can scare 180 pounds a year, the local canned food is bought, and come to grab Chinese cans.
We export 47.4 billion yuan of canned food to foreigners a year, why don't they eat fresh food and prefer canned food? This is mainly due to the difference in the definition of "fresh" in China and abroad. Foreigners believe that the contents of the cans are fresh, because after the workers pick the fruit from the orchard, they must send it to the factory within a few hours to be processed, and since then it has been sealed in the jar, as if time has stopped
As for the fruits and vegetables in the supermarket, after picking from the vegetable field, they must be transported in transit and exposed, and they will not be fresh after they are bought home.
In addition, foreigners prefer ready-to-eat food, quick-frozen food, you can save time without cooking, otherwise a certain Deji will not be so large, and the delivery of foreigners is more Buddhist, and it is good to deliver before the customer starves to death, so ah, fast food has become the first choice of Europeans and Americans
Canned food can be eaten with the lid open, as simple as milk bread. But the domestic situation is different, I have personally seen vegetable farmers pick vegetables at two or three o'clock, hawkers go to wholesale at four or five o'clock, people go out to buy at seven or eight o'clock, at the same time, we all buy vegetables home to eat breakfast, foreign countries have just sent fruits and vegetables to the factory.
China's canned food was robbed by foreigners, not because the canned food is delicious, but because the cooking skills of foreigners are not good, the nine-turn large intestine is filling, braised eggplant is not wrapped, cauliflower will only be boiled, it is better to eat instant noodles, now many young people although the cooking technology is average, but according to the recipe, it is not yet hand-pinched
And many foreigners, bread in the morning, burger at noon, pizza in the evening, endless loop, so from time to time you have to order canned food to solve the hunger. Moreover, canned food has a long storage time, starting at least one or two years, and has a wide variety of flavors, which has become the best choice for many families.
In previous years, the doomsday canned food launched abroad, fruits, meats, cereals, and vegetables, a total of 230 canned foods, and 30 barreled foods, weighing 1600 pounds, a family of 4 can eat for a year, if you don't want to eat for the time being, it's okay, the shelf life is 25-30 years, and it's never too late to eat when the baby grows up and graduates from work.
Chinese people think that few people buy canned food at all, who thought that it would be sold out on the first day of sale, which shows how much foreigners like cans. As the so-called, canned food is like flowers in a pot, the best to eat when the material is scarce, usually we have fresh vegetables, foreigners are the most fond of it.
