It is impossible to solve the worries of grain farmers.
Since the beginning of this year, the prices of major food crops in China have declined. The purchase price of corn is down 21% from last year; the decline in wheat prices has now narrowed after a plunge in September; and according to news from the northeast reclamation area, the purchase price of rice is the same as last year, and earnings are relatively optimistic. It is worth noting that the national minimum purchase price for wheat this year is the same as that in 2014, ending a series of increases since 2006.
One side of the data reflects the rise and fall of grain prices, while the other has a bearing on the vital interests of grain growers.
"although there is no loss in growing rice, the profit is limited." "it was a terrible loss to grow corn." "what on earth is good to plant next year? We are so anxious! " The aspirations of grain growers in the Heilongjiang Reclamation area, a large national granary, tell us in blunt language that they will not be happy if they go on according to the current market. Throughout the country, the same is true of grain farmers.
After a year of hard work, I thought that at the end of the year, a good harvest could get a good income, but the market was changing, the market was plummeting, and the grain growers were very hurt; the prices of agricultural materials were rising, the land transfer fees were rising, and the fees of labor and machinery were all on the rise. but the grain they can get can't sell at a price, and the grain growers are very helpless. Want to continue to expand rice cultivation, but restricted by limited water resources and other factors, the sharp drop in corn prices made people back down, want to adjust the planting of soybeans but afraid of its high risk, grain farmers are very confused.
The price of the main grain has fallen, and the grain growers are worried. Although we have a series of supportive policies for grain and grain growers, we often "hate less when we use books." In the face of ever-changing market conditions, many policies always seem to be lagging behind.
In the face of depressed grain prices and the "experience" of grain growers, we cannot always do things after doing things, but should worry about farmers first.
How to adjust the planting structure? What do you want to grow next year? For these puzzles of farmers, our relevant departments should do their work in front of farmers. The old policy cannot remain unchanged for many years, and it is necessary to make more visits to the grass-roots level and listen more to the voices and demands of grain growers. Only in this way can we adjust and formulate new policies in a timely manner.
It is impossible to solve the worries of grain farmers. In view of the risks that have occurred or may arise, we should formulate emergency plans and come up with countermeasures in advance; for recurrent old problems, we should study the crux of the recurrence of "old diseases" from the root; and for new problems that arise, we should adjust our thinking in a timely manner and revise and supplement existing policies. At the same time, it is necessary to innovate working ideas, keep up with the changes of the market and the times, and formulate policies creatively in order to respond quickly, resolve industry risks as soon as possible, and eliminate the adverse impact of market changes on farmers as far as possible.
