A golden corn, after fermentation, extraction, refining and other processes, into amino acids, vitamins, coenzyme Q10 and so on, the value soared dozens of times, even hundreds of times. In Heilongjiang province, the main corn producing area in China, golden corn is connecting the "gold industry chain" of "agricultural production and industrial production".
"Disodium nucleotide is a freshening agent, with a price of about 70,000 yuan per ton and a freshness 200 times that of MSG." Grains of ordinary corn are processed into freshening agents at Zhaodong Xinghu Biotechnology Co., LTD in Zhaodong, Heilongjiang province.
In 2019, Zhaodong Xinghu Biotechnology Fermentation Industrial Park, an investment attraction project of Zhaodong City, was listed as one of the top 100 provincial key projects of Heilongjiang Province, with a total investment of 680 million yuan. The project went into production in just one year. Huang Lijian, executive director of Zhaodong Xinghu Biotechnology Co., LTD., said that the production technology of the company has reached the international leading level. Next year, the company plans to invest another 1 billion yuan, the main development direction is condiments and biomedicine.
Zhaodong Xinghu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is an epitome of Heilongjiang Province persisting in deepening the "agricultural first, industrial last", constantly "strengthening chain, extending chain and reinforcing chain", building a corn processing industry of 100 billion, and moving towards the high-end industry chain. From corn to starch, from starch to glucose, from glucose to amino acids, vitamins, vitamins and then to coenzyme Q10 with a price of 3.5 million yuan per ton...... Little Corn has undergone a makeover in Heilongjiang.
Wang Hongjun said.
Wang Hongjun said that the profit per ton of starch is only more than 20 yuan, while glucose is more than 300 yuan, if processed into erythritol, the profit per ton can reach 10,000 yuan. "The next step is to upgrade the technology to produce erythritol." 'he said.
At Heilongjiang Longfeng Corn Development Co., LTD., a corn industrial park in Qinggang County, Heilongjiang province, machines hum with pipes as trucks roll in and out of the factory. The company's deep processing capacity of corn has reached 1.5 million tons. In the past, it mainly produced starch as a primary product. Now, through transformation and upgrading, the industry chain has been continuously extended and gradually extended to glucose syrup and sodium gluconate.
Jiang Guowei, director of the Bureau of Industrial Information Technology of Qinggang County, said that the Qinggang Corn Industrial Park has introduced 13 corn processing and supporting enterprises, with an annual corn processing capacity of 3.4 million tons, and the output value of the park reached 12.67 billion yuan last year.
In Xiangyu Jingu Biochemical Technology Co., LTD., Zhangwei Town, Beilin District, Suihua City, golden corn becomes crystallized sugar; More than 50 kilometers away from it in Suihua Economic Development Zone, Heilongjiang Haotian Corn Development Co., Ltd. has continuously turned corn into starch, syrup and other series of products; Heilongjiang Xinhecheng Biotechnology Co., LTD., which is across the road from Haotian, uses Haotian products as raw materials to produce coenzyme Q10, which is exported to all over the world.
In Huannan County, Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province, Heilongjiang Hongzhan Bio-Energy Co., Ltd. 300,000 tons of corn fuel ethanol project workshop, corn after grinding, saccharification, fermentation, distillation and other processes, finally into fuel ethanol. On company-only rail lines, fuel ethanol is piped to tank cars. Wu Minghua, deputy general manager of Heilongjiang Hongzhan Bioenergy Co., said the company loads more than 10 trucks a day and sells them to the south.

In recent years, a number of large domestic enterprise groups have invested in the construction of corn deep processing projects in Heilongjiang Province, gradually forming an industrialization cluster. At present, the deep processing capacity of corn in Heilongjiang province has reached about 30 million tons.
