Moutai's Annual Packaging Procurement Reaches RMB 3.7 Billion, with Increased Procurement in Guizhou Planned for the Future

Moutai's packaging material procurement amount is about RMB 3.7 billion

On November 23, an on-site supply and demand matchmaking meeting between baijiu enterprises and packaging enterprises across the province, hosted by the Guizhou Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology and co-organized by the Guizhou Provincial Liquor Industry Association and the Guizhou Provincial Packaging Federation, was held at Moutai Group.

Data show that in 2018, the output of baijiu above designated size in Guizhou Province (packaging volume of finished liquor) was 310,000 kiloliters, totaling 620 million bottles calculated at 500ml/bottle, and the required packaging material procurement amount was RMB 10.63 billion. However, in terms of the comprehensive supporting rate, the packaging supporting rates within and outside Guizhou Province for the province's baijiu industry were 29% and 71% respectively.

Among them, in 2018, Moutai Group achieved a finished liquor output of about 130,000 tons and a packaging material procurement amount of about RMB 3.7 billion, accounting for about 34.8% of the province's packaging material procurement amount. However, its out-of-province packaging supporting rate is far higher than its in-province packaging supporting rate.

Moutai Will Strive to Achieve the Target of a 24% In-Province Packaging Supporting Rate

Wang Jiaqiang, a member of the Party Leadership Group of the Guizhou Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, said that this meeting brought together two industry associations, distilleries and supporting enterprises to hold a supply and demand matchmaking meeting, striving to achieve a 50% in-province supporting rate for baijiu across the province next year and targeting 80% in 2022.

Duan Jianhua, member of the Party Committee and General Counsel of Moutai Group, said in his speech that Moutai, as a pillar industry of Guizhou Province and the leading enterprise of Guizhou's baijiu industry, will, in accordance with the decisions and arrangements of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government and the requirements of the Action Plan for the Revitalization of Ten Hundred-Billion-Level Industries, actively promote the development of local packaging enterprises.

Duan Jianhua said that Moutai Group will make efforts on the supply side, continuously enhance its packaging supply capacity and level, vigorously advance the construction of packaging supporting project facilities in Guizhou Province, and strive to realize the goals of RMB 3.9 billion in in-province packaging procurement and a 24% supporting rate for Moutai Group as soon as possible, thereby promoting an increase in the proportion of baijiu packaging supporting across the province.

It is reported that most of the baijiu enterprises participating in this matchmaking meeting are key supported units in the baijiu sector of Guizhou Province's high-quality tobacco and liquor industry. At the meeting, key baijiu enterprises and packaging enterprises across the province signed as many as 15 cooperation agreements, helping Guizhou Province's packaging industry reach a new level with practical results.
