　　Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 2 (Reporter Gao Kang) The the State Council executive meeting held on June 2 studied the policies and measures to promote the high-quality development of the new energy automobile industry. In order to release the consumption potential of new energy vehicles, the meeting proposed to continue and optimize the vehicle purchase tax reduction and exemption policy for new energy vehicles.

　　New energy vehicles are the main direction of the transformation and upgrading of the automobile industry, and the development space is very broad.

　　In recent years, China’s new energy automobile industry has developed vigorously. According to the data of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, from January to April this year, the production and sales of new energy vehicles reached 2.291 million and 2.222 million, an increase of 42.8% year-on-year, with a market share of 27%; The export of new energy vehicles was 348,000, a year-on-year increase of 170%.

　　The meeting pointed out that it is necessary to consolidate and expand the development advantages of new energy vehicles, further optimize the industrial layout, strengthen key core technology research in key areas such as power battery system, new chassis structure and intelligent driving system, make overall plans for the development and utilization of domestic and international resources, improve the recycling system of power batteries, build an industrial ecology with the integrated development of "cars and energy in Lu Yun", and enhance the independent controllability and green development level of the whole industrial chain.

　　"Technological innovation is the core competitiveness of development." Cui Dongshu, Secretary-General of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, said that in recent years, China has made remarkable achievements in the field of new energy vehicles, but it still needs to make efforts in tackling key core technologies, and at the same time, it needs to continue to make efforts in the construction of charging infrastructure and the research and development of small and micro electric vehicles.

　　Chen Shihua, Deputy Secretary-General of China Automobile Industry Association, said that from the overall automobile data this year, China’s new energy automobile industry has developed steadily, and its supply capacity and quality have been continuously improved, becoming an important force to stabilize the industry.

　　Insiders pointed out that the industry generally predicts that the development of new energy vehicles will maintain a good development trend, and the production and sales data of new energy vehicles in China is expected to usher in a new high this year. But at the same time, we should also see that at present, the confidence of automobile consumption still needs to be boosted and the potential of automobile consumption still needs to be released.

　　In this regard, the meeting pointed out that it is necessary to continue and optimize the vehicle purchase tax reduction and exemption policy for new energy vehicles, build a high-quality charging infrastructure system, further stabilize market expectations, optimize the consumption environment, and release the consumption potential of new energy vehicles.

　　"The new measures are expected to bring great impetus to the development of the new energy automobile industry in the next few years." Cui Dongshu said that the subsidy recession has a great impact on the new energy automobile industry, and consumers are sensitive to price and taxation. Continuing and optimizing the vehicle purchase tax reduction and exemption policy for new energy vehicles will further release the consumption potential of new energy vehicles and promote the sustainable and steady growth of the new energy automobile industry.

Palm oil, as an important vegetable oil, occupies a decisive position in the global edible oil market. Its characteristics are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First of all, palm oil production is high and stable. Compared with other vegetable oils, the output per unit area of palm oil is much higher than that of soybeans, rape and other crops, which makes it have a significant advantage in the supply side. In addition, the planting cycle of palm oil is short, and it can usually enter the high-yield period within 3-5 years, which further guarantees the stability of its supply.

Secondly, the fatty acid composition of palm oil is unique. Palm oil is rich in saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids, of which the content of saturated fatty acids is about 50% and the content of unsaturated fatty acids is about 50%. This unique fatty acid composition makes palm oil have good stability at high temperature and is not easy to be oxidized and deteriorated, so it is widely used in food processing industry, especially in the production of fried food.

Furthermore, palm oil has a wide range of uses. Besides being used as edible oil, palm oil is also widely used in the fields of biodiesel production, cosmetics manufacturing and industrial lubricants. This versatility makes the market demand for palm oil more resilient and not easily affected by fluctuations in a single industry.

In terms of market demand, the demand for palm oil shows the following trends:

First of all, with the global population growth and economic development, the demand for edible oil continues to rise. Especially in densely populated areas such as Asia and Africa, palm oil is the main source of edible oil, and its demand shows a steady growth trend.

Secondly, the rapid development of biodiesel industry has had a significant impact on the demand for palm oil. With the increasing support of governments for renewable energy, the production scale of biodiesel is expanding, which makes the demand for palm oil as one of the main raw materials increase greatly.

In addition, the promotion of environmental awareness has also had an impact on the market demand for palm oil. Although the production process of palm oil may have a certain negative impact on the environment, with the progress of technology and the improvement of environmental protection standards, the production efficiency and environmental protection performance of palm oil have been continuously improved, which is helpful to alleviate the market’s concerns about its environmental protection problems and thus maintain its market demand.

In order to show the comparison between palm oil and other main vegetable oils more intuitively, the following table lists the main characteristics of several common vegetable oils:

To sum up, palm oil occupies an important position in the global edible oil market with its high yield, unique fatty acid composition and wide application. With the growth of global population, the development of biodiesel industry and the improvement of environmental awareness, the market demand for palm oil has shown a steady growth trend.
