Why do mothers prefer organic milk powder

summary

With the improvement of consumers' demand for milk powder safety and consumption ability, organic milk powder is more and more valued and sought after by the market. However, many mothers say that the price of organic milk powder is higher than that of ordinary milk powder. Why is organic milk powder expensive?

Why do mothers prefer organic milk powder

The first reason is that organic food has high requirements for the environment, and the land for organic food cultivation requires a three-year conversion period, during which pesticides, chemical fertilizers and other prohibited substances cannot be used. It seems very difficult to find products produced without pollution, because it is impossible to produce organic food in a large area. Organic food should be produced according to the national standards for origin certification, air certification and environmental certification. When it reaches a certain standard, it should be produced according to the standard, and these standards are relatively strict.

The second reason is that the production cost of organic food is high. In order to ensure the nutrients of crops, organic fertilizer must be applied. Organic fertilizer can only be applied after harmless treatment, so the price of organic fertilizer is high, so the price of organic food is high. (2) synthetic pesticides should not be used. Pest control is a three-dimensional comprehensive control system, which is usually artificial pest control, physical pest control or pest control, and its investment is more than the conventional production mode. However, organic livestock can not use antibiotics, growth hormone and so on. (3) in the process of organic food planting, no pesticides and fertilizers have been used, so the loss rate is high and the yield rate is low. The output of organic products is about 25% - 40% lower than that of conventional products. (4) chemical herbicides should not be used. If chemical herbicides are used, 1 person / day can weed 15 mu of land, while manual weeding, 1 person / day can only weed 0.3 mu, its effect is 1 / 50 of the conventional.

The third reason: conventional production depends on chemical fertilizer and growth hormone, which can speed up the growth process of crops and shorten the growth period. The organic growth is natural, and its growth period is long, which naturally increases the cost. There is a conversion process from conventional production to organic production, which takes at least 24-36 months.

matters needing attention

At present, the organic industry has not formed a large-scale effect, and resources are very scarce. Raw material production and processing production should be subject to organic certification, and the certification fee should be paid.
