"Stupid goods" not only contains people’s yearning for food safety, but also has memories of past life. With the deepening of this concept, the scope of "stupid goods" is also expanding, no longer limited to "stupid" and "stupid pork", and "stupid soybean oil" has also entered people’s sight …
Dare not buy! The finished stupid soybean oil is too cheap.
"Recently, there have been many’ stupid oil squeezing’ figures in the grain and oil market, and they are playing traditional cards. We especially like this, especially the old people in my family, who like the pure taste of stupid soybean oil. But I looked around the market and didn’t dare to buy it. " On December 24th, Mr. Liu, a reader of Qigong Street in Tiexi District, broke the news to reporters.
Subsequently, the reporter from shenyang evening news came to Shenyang Grain and Oil Market, Beiyi Road, Tiexi District. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the sign of "Stupid Squeezing Soybean Oil" in front of the stalls selling soybean oil. After asking about the price, the reporter learned the reason why readers were afraid to buy it. In the second grain and oil store at the door, the staff in the store told the reporter that 58 yuan/barrel of soybean oil was squeezed foolishly. The owner of a shop next door said that they have a cheaper one, 52 yuan/barrel. However, the price of soybean oil produced by Arowana, Fulinmen, Jiusan and other centralized factories with modern technology is over 50 yuan, up to more than 60 yuan/barrel.
"It is said that’ stupid soybean oil’ is better than modern leaching and oil refining processes, and the cost is high, but how can the price be higher or even lower than that produced by modern processes?" Mr. Liu, who broke the news, has doubts. Mr. Cao, a seller of grain and oil market in Shenyang, said that in fact, the cost of crude soybean oil is indeed higher than that of modern technology. The reason why the price of crude soybean oil in barrels is at a low level in soybean oil is because "crude soybean oil" is produced by small manufacturers with little or no advertising, while soybean oil produced by modern technology is large in manufacturers and brands, and many of them are publicity expenses.
Dare not sell! The cost is too high to compete with the oil factory
"We can’t tell whether this stupid soybean oil is really stupid from the aspects of price and advertising investment, but I can say that the production cost of pure homemade stupid soybean oil is really high." After several twists and turns, the reporter found a farmer’s professional cooperative that once produced "stupid soybean oil" in Shenbei New District. Mr. Wang, the person in charge of this cooperative, told the reporter that the oil yield of stupid soybean oil is 30%, which means that 10 kilograms of soybeans can produce 3 kilograms of soybean oil. At present, the soybean is 2.6-2.7 yuan/kg, that is, 26-27 yuan soybeans can produce 3 kg of crude soybean oil, and the cost of crude soybean oil per kg is about 8.7-9 yuan. The net weight of a 5L barrel of "stupid pressed soybean oil" in the market is about 9.3-9.4 Jin, and the cost of a barrel is 80.91-84.6 yuan.
Mr. Wang said that this is only the cost of soybeans, and labor costs account for a large proportion of production costs. Because the so-called "stupid pressing" refers to the traditional technology, from heating soybeans with a fire kang, late frying and finally pressing are all done manually. "The production environment of stupid soybean oil is not acceptable to ordinary people. When heating with a fire kang, it should be turned constantly. The temperature of the whole process should reach above 30 degrees. People working inside can only wear shorts, and few people are willing to do this kind of work." Mr. Wang said that high salary is definitely a good way to attract oil-squeezing workers, but if such a high cost is allocated to a catty of stupid soybean oil, the retail price will definitely exceed that of 10 yuan. But the price is too high, the market consumption capacity is limited, but it is too low and the profit is too small. It is based on this dilemma that they have already stopped the foreign production of soybean oil.
Can’t buy it! Our own oil mills are closed.
And Mr. Wang’s account is not only faced by their oil mill, but also by other people who were optimistic about the "stupid soybean oil" market. Sure enough, the reporter entered the words "Shenyang Stupid Squeezed Soybean Oil" on the Internet, and there are probably dozens of sales information of his own "Stupid Squeezed Soybean Oil". When the reporter opened at one o’clock, he found that most of the information had expired. Only one piece of information released at 8:43 on July 8 this year is the latest. It says, "Homemade pure soybean oil contains no additives, and the aroma is pure. If you want to eat healthy 100 yuan (more than 9 kg), you are welcome to visit the factory." But when the reporter dialed the phone number above, the other party said that they had long since stopped selling "stupid soybean oil".
At this time, an industry insider revealed that "stupid pressed soybean oil" does have a good market scene, but the production cost of pure stupid pressed soybean oil is really high. These two problems are real problems, so now some factories keep the "semi-stupid pressed" process to produce stupid pressed soybean oil. That is to say, the original stupid pressing process is maintained, but the places where manual work is needed for heating the kang, frying beans and pressing are replaced by machines. At the same time, through scientific experiments to find the best oil temperature to improve oil yield. So as to reduce that cost of foolishly squeeze soybean oil. However, when buying "stupid soybean oil", the public must be cautious. If the price is too low, it may be tricky. Pure "stupid pressed soybean oil" smells and tastes like pure beans, but even if the price is higher, it doesn’t have too much fragrance of pure beans.

Soybean oil may increase in price due to "holiday effect"
News extension
New Year’s Day and Spring Festival are approaching, and many commodities are showing holiday effects, and prices are rising. Soybean oil, as a common welfare and cooking necessity during the two festivals, is also about to face price increases.
"Just now, the price of Arowana oil named 1:1 began to adjust. The original 5L barrel was 63.5 yuan, and now it is 64.5 yuan, up by 1 yuan." A seller in Shenyang Grain Logistics Center, Beiyi Middle Road, Tiexi District, Shenyang said that although the market price of other soybean oil has not yet risen, they have learned that the ex-factory price of manufacturers has risen, but the specific increase will not be known until the next purchase. "Every New Year’s Day and Spring Festival, the price of soybean oil will rise to varying degrees, on the one hand, because of the increase in costs, on the other hand, because of changes in market supply and demand." The seller said that the increase is hard to predict, but it is normal to estimate that a barrel of ordinary soybean oil will increase by 2-3 yuan.
However, a seller surnamed Cao in Shenyang Grain Logistics Center reminded consumers that there are also ways to save money under the rising trend of soybean oil. First, there is little difference between bottled oil and bulk soybean oil, but the price is different. Take 55 yuan ordinary barrels of soybean oil in 5L as an example, a barrel is about 9.4 Jin, and it is about 5.85 yuan per Jin. The average price of bulk soybean oil monitored by Shenyang Price Bureau in the markets of Northbound, Shashan, Lingwen, Jixiang and Jiulu is 5.1 yuan/kg, with a difference of 0.75 yuan, and a difference of 9.4 kg ×0.75 yuan =7.05 yuan per barrel. Secondly, the price of soybean oil in the wholesale market in each region is different, because regional agents of different brands can automatically float some prices according to local consumption, so it is useful to shop around. Third, at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, many supermarkets focused on soybean oil. Take a supermarket chain in Huanggu District as an example, the promotion price of 93 soybean oil is 53 yuan/barrel, which is lower than their wholesale market retail price of 55 yuan/barrel.
