农夫山泉涨价,只因瓶子贵了?******
中新网2月4日电(中新财经记者 谢艺观)近日,一则农夫山泉《杭州区域19升水调价通知》在业界流传。调价通知显示,从2月1日起,杭州市农夫山泉19升水零售价由20元/桶调至22元/桶。
3日,中新财经记者拨打农夫山泉官网电话,对方确认了这一涨价消息。

对于本次提价原因,农夫山泉在通知中表示,“鉴于近年来因物价、原材料、人工及运营等成本不断上涨的压力”。
2022年半年报中,农夫山泉也提到,“我们生产产品包装最主要的原材料PET是原油的下游产品。原油价格的上升和不确定性给我们的生产成本控制带来压力。”
根据农夫山泉上市前披露的招股书,2017-2019年,PET材料占农夫山泉销售成本总额分别为29%、31.9%、31.6%,是销售成本中的重要组成部分。
另据媒体报道,在2022年3月的一场分析师业绩会上,农夫山泉执行董事周震华直言,成本压力已经“超过企业单方面可以去消化的水平”。他表示,预计2022年PET成本较去年高出30%-40%。
调价会否蔓延到其他城市?
2021年12月,农夫山泉就曾发布价格调整公告,对上海地区19升水的零售价格进行上调,从2022年1月1日起由26元/桶调整到28元/桶。
上海、杭州已先后上调19升水价格,价格调整是否会扩散至其他城市?农夫山泉客服向记者表示,目前并不清楚。
至于其他规格的饮用水是否会随之进行提价,农夫山泉客服也没有给出答复。
不过在前述分析师业绩会上,周震华曾表示,“目前来讲,无论在水或饮料上,我们都没有大规模提价的计划,但是也一直在持续观望,也看到了竞品有一些调价动作,所以我们也不会‘就不调价’说得这么死。”
周震华说,由于后续市场及成本端变动大,农夫山泉涨价“会把所有可能性都开放”,但首选是通过提升经营效率消化成本。而由于成本上涨,农夫山泉2022年毛利“非常有可能下滑到2019年的水平”。
记者注意到,受PET采购成本提高影响,农夫山泉2022年上半年的毛利率已由上一年同期的60.9%下降1.6%至59.3%。
在食品产业分析师朱丹蓬看来,农夫山泉涨价是一把“双刃剑”,虽然有可能提升农夫山泉的利润,但如果其他品牌没有跟进,或将影响农夫山泉的市场份额。

受原油等上游大宗商品价格上涨影响,中下游企业成本承压,近年来全球各种产品“涨声一片”。
据日本NHK电视台2月1日报道,日本2月份将有5000多种食品及饮料提价,继2022年10月日本的涨价潮达到30年来最大规模后,日本迎来新一轮涨价潮。
作为日本知名饮料品牌,有消息称,养乐多本社自1月起提高了在中国全境销售的乳酸菌饮料“养乐多”和“养乐多低糖”2款商品的售价,将把原材料涨价转嫁到销售价格上。
回顾2022年,在成本压力下,百事、元气森林、李子园、三得利等企业亦纷纷传出上调旗下部分产品价格。
“附近超市里的三得利无糖乌龙茶已经从以前的3元一瓶,涨到现在的3.5元一瓶。”在北京西城区工作的小林表示。
不过原材料成本的压力或在未来得到缓解。卓创资讯分析师赵颖表示,依据情景测算,预计2023年至2024年期间,油价将在2022年均价95美元的水平上继续下降,并在65美元/桶—80美元/桶区间内震荡下行。
这对于饱受包装成本上涨之苦的饮料企业来说,也许是个好消息。(完)
中新网评:处理核污水绝不是日本自家私事****** 中新网北京1月19日电(蒋鲤)日本政府近日称,将于2023年春夏期间开始向海洋排放经过处理的福岛第一核电站核污水。日本罔顾国内民众及周边国家的屡屡反对,企图将核污水“一倒了之”,把一件关乎全球海洋生态环境和公众健康的事当成了自家私事。 资料图:日本福岛第一核电站。2011年,福岛核电站事故发生后,大量放射性物质泄漏到大气层和太平洋,对周围环境造成了难以逆转的伤害,数十万人被迫撤离该地区。时至今日,作为日本邻国之一的韩国仍未解除福岛海鲜禁令。 日本以核污水存储能力即将达到上限为由,在2021年4月13日,正式决定将福岛第一核电站核污水排入太平洋。过去一年多,日本政府和东京电力公司一直在持续推进核污水排海计划。 日本政府辩称,这些核污水经多核素处理系统(ALPS)处理后很安全,甚至“可以喝”,这样的表态无疑在愚弄大众。 事实上,经过处理的核污水仍含有多种放射性物质,核污水一旦排放入海就无法回收,长期来看,将会给海洋生态带来难以估量的潜在威胁,最终危害人类健康。 因此,核污水排海计划推出后,遭到日本民众强烈反对。日本《朝日新闻》2022年3月公布的问卷调查显示,福岛县、宫城县和岩手县受访的42个市町村长中,约六成反对东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核污水排放入海。日本全国渔业协会联合会也多次申明立场,反对该计划。 日本政府认为,核污水排海是最便宜、最省事的解决方案,但此举却将周边国家乃至全世界置于核污染风险中。太平洋非日本一家之海,核污水会随着洋流流动,其影响势必会跨越国界,危害周边国家乃至整个国际社会的公共福祉和利益。 《韩国经济新闻》发文称,相关研究认为,福岛核污水如果排放入海,约7个月后将到达济州等韩国海域,该国水产业和旅游业将遭受相当大的损失。 德国南极海洋机构也曾发出警告,若日本将所有核污水排入海中,不到半年,整个太平洋都将面临高度辐射威胁,包括远在大洋另一端的美国。太平洋地区人民更是对日本该计划持反对意见。 日本作为《联合国海洋法公约》缔约国,有义务保护海洋环境。然而,在核污水排海方案的正当性、核污水数据的可靠性、净化装置的有效性、环境影响的不确定性等问题上,日本未能作出科学、可信的说明。 国际原子能机构技术工作组虽已三次赴日实地考察评估,但尚未就日排海方案的安全性给出结论,并且对日本提出诸多澄清要求和整改意见。在此情况下,日本仍执意推进核污水排海工程建设,这是极不负责任的行为。 太平洋不是日本的下水道,日本必须正视各方合理关切,在与周边国家等相关利益方和国际原子能机构充分协商后,制定合理的核污水处理方案。日本也要着眼长远,若只顾眼前,执意将核污水排放入海,不仅其自身,周边国家乃至全世界都将为之买单,其后果必将会危害数代人。 Fukushima water disposal by no means Japan’s own business By John Lee (ECNS) -- Japan has announced it will release treated wastewater from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant into the Pacific Ocean this year. Although Fukushima wastewater disposal affects global marine ecological environment protection and public health, Japan has turned a deaf ear to domestic and international opposition to dumping the contaminated water into the sea, treating the "global" matter as its own business. The Fukushima accident in 2011 had sent large quantities of radiation into the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean, causing irreversible damage to the surrounding environment, and hundreds of thousands of people were forced to evacuate the area. South Korea still maintains its import ban on Japanese seafood from areas affected by the Fukushima nuclear disaster. On April 13, 2021, Japan announced it had decided to discharge contaminated radioactive wastewater in Fukushima Prefecture into the sea due to dwindling storage space, with the Japanese government and plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. promoting the release plan over the past year. The Japanese government argues that the water treated by an advanced liquid processing system, or ALPS, is safe and drinkable, which is undoubtedly fooling the public. In fact, the treated wastewater still includes a variety of radioactive substances and can’t be recycled once discharged into the sea, which will pose a great threat to marine ecology and ultimately endanger human health in the long run. Therefore, the discharge plan has been strongly opposed in Japan. According to a questionnaire conducted by The Asahi Shimbun, nearly 60 percent of mayors of 42 municipalities in Iwate, Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures oppose the discharge plan. The National Fisheries Cooperative Federation of Japan has also repeatedly stated its opposition in public. The Japanese government believes that dumping Fukushima wastewater into the sea is the cheapest and most convenient solution, but neighboring countries and even the whole world will be at risk of nuclear pollution. The Pacific Ocean doesn’t belong to Japan and the wastewater flow along oceanic currents will surely break boundaries and endanger public welfare and the interests of neighboring countries and even the international community. The Korea Economic Daily reported that related research concluded that if contaminated water from Fukushima is released into the ocean, it would only take seven months for the contaminated water to reach the shores of Jeju Island, with the country's aquaculture and tourism suffering considerable losses. According to the calculation of a German marine scientific research institute, radioactive materials will spread to most of the Pacific Ocean within half a year from the date of discharge, and the U.S. and Canada will be affected by nuclear pollution. People in the Pacific region also oppose the discharge plan. As a participant of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Japan has the obligation of protecting the marine environment. However, it hasn’t offered a full and convincing explanation on issues like the legitimacy of the discharge plan, the reliability of data on the nuclear-contaminated water, the efficacy of the treatment system or the uncertainty of environmental impact. Though the IAEA has yet to complete a comprehensive review after three investigations in Japan, the Japanese side has been pushing through the approval process for its discharge plan and even started building facilities for the discharge. It is rather irresponsible for Japan to act against public opinion at home and concerns abroad. The Pacific Ocean is not a private Japanese sewer. The country must seriously heed the voices of the international community and make a reasonable plan for the Fukushima wastewater disposal after full consultation with stakeholders and international agencies. If it only seeks instant interest and insists on discharging the contaminated water into the sea, not only itself, but also its neighboring countries and the entire world will pay for the decision and several generations will be forced to bear the consequence.
