At present, the tomato cultivation area in the world is relatively fixed. Due to the influence of climate and policies, the growth of foreign tomato production capacity is not optimistic. On the contrary, with excellent natural conditions, the output of Chinese tomatoes has rapidly increased, and the proportion of total tomato production in the world has also increased year by year. China has become the world’s first exporter of large packaging tomato raw material sauce.
It is understood that China's tomato processing is mainly distributed in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Gansu. Xinjiang has strong sunlight, large temperature difference between day and night, dry climate, and rich sandy soil. Processing tomato is widely planted in the northern Xinjiang along the Tianshan area and in the southern Xinjiang basin. Tomato raw materials have good quality, less pests and diseases, high solid content and red pigment content, suitable for tomato processing. In 2006, the tomato planting area in Xinjiang reached 800,000 mu, making it the largest area for processing tomatoes in the country.
The Hetao region of Inner Mongolia has the same resource and environmental advantages as Xinjiang in the processing of tomato cultivation. In some areas, the yield of tomato solids is high and it is very suitable for processing. In addition, there are also tomato planting and processing in Zhangye, Gaotai and Qiqihar in Heilongjiang Province.
From the perspective of market demand, the European and American markets will have relatively stable growth, while consumption in emerging markets such as Asia, Africa, and Russia will increase significantly. As a new consumer market for tomato ketchup, China’s consumption will also increase significantly with the promotion of foreign fast food and western food.
Unbalanced supply and demand gives China's "red industry" opportunities for development. With high quality raw materials and cost advantages, rising prices caused by imbalanced supply and demand will benefit China more. At the same time, the extension of the industry chain will also enable China's tomato processing enterprises to obtain higher added value.
The rapid development of the tomato sauce industry has brought tremendous business opportunities to the packaging market. According to experts, the packaging of sauces is divided into two categories, bags and bottles. Low-grade sauces are packaged mainly in plastic bags. Some medium-to-high-end seasoning sauces, such as chili sauce, tomato sauce, and various kinds of jams, are packaged in glass bottles and equipped with plastic caps to facilitate multiple opening and closing. Some sauces also have aluminum plastic sealing film to extend the shelf life. In addition, a large number of steel drums are also used in the bulk transfer and distribution of ketchup.
However, many packaging companies in China still have backward technology and equipment, and some even stay at the level of the sixties and seventies of the 20th century. Although these products still have a certain market in the country, with the development of the national economy and the improvement of people’s living standards, people’s demands for packaging quality are getting higher and higher, if they do not pay close attention to the improvement of existing production processes, improve the technological equipment. At the level, many domestic companies will be difficult to participate in market competition and be eliminated.
Experts believe that it is an inevitable trend for the packaging of tomato sauce to be scientific. For example, in the field of small packaging, aluminum plastic composite packaging represents the latest trends. These packages not only exquisitely printed, but also can extend the shelf life, the disadvantage is that there is no solution to the problem of secondary closure. If consumers can not eat it once after purchase, they still need to change their packaging. In addition, plastic bottle packaging is also increasing, wide-mouth PET bottles have begun to use. At present, there are few wide-mouth PET bottle production lines introduced in China, mainly because of the small demand, but with the transition from sauce-based foods to high-end products, PET wide-mouth bottles are expected to become the most important packaging form of such condiments.
From the point of view of large packaging, the fully automatic production mode will be the main packaging method in the future, that is, the realization of high efficiency, high quality, and high coordination in the entire production line. The fully automatic, semi-automatic and manual mixing production lines not only fail to achieve the high efficiency of the fully automatic production line, but also the quality is not guaranteed. The speed and quality of the entire production process are extremely uneven.
