方便食品将在我国快速发展

方便食品是我国食品工业发展的重点之一,自80年代以来发展迅速,并取得了相当的成就。作为方便食品的主导产品——方便面,其发展更是迅猛,近期的年产量已接近200亿包,在人们的生活中扮演着重要的角色。然而,随着经济的发展和生活水平的提高,人们对方便食品的要求也愈来愈高,现有的产品已不能满足消费者的需求,最直接的表现就是方便面销售量停滞不前,“康师傅”、“统一”、“营多”都或多或少存在着滞销,因而减产等问题。作为方便食品的其他类型产品,如速冻食品、冲调食品等也有发展乏力的情况。面对消费水平的日益提高,我们不禁要问:方便食品出路何在?方便面如何提高质量?随着生活节奏的加快,方便食品必将有一个大的发展,什么产品能带动方便食品的再一次飞跃呢? 为此,本刊的几位编辑、记者对这个问题发表了一些个人的意见,以及业内专家对方便食品的发展出路作了阐述和分析,希望能引起业内人士的思考,更希望能够抛砖引玉,大家一起来出谋划策,共同推动方便食品的发展。
