The national corn stock exceeds 200 billion kg and greatly exceeds the reasonable level.

Statistics show that the current corn stocks of various enterprises in the country exceed 200 billion kilograms, greatly exceeding the reasonable level, and the characteristics of phased oversupply are obvious. Some of the main producing areas appear unable to collect, store, sell the embarrassing situation, but also financial can not afford to make up for the "trouble after harvest." In the face of difficulties, the pace of transformation from state subsidy reform to "price separation" is accelerating, and the positive role of deep processing industry in grain transformation will be further amplified.

Focus on expanding internal and external markets

A few days ago, at the 8th International Corn Industry Conference held in Wuhan, Hubei Province, Hu Hengyang, inspector of the Agricultural Economics Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, expounded the basic ideas of the current grain price reform. He made it clear that on the basis of attracting and drawing lessons from the experience of the previous agricultural product price formation mechanism and market regulation mechanism, and on the premise of protecting farmers 'interests, he would better play the role of the market mechanism and make overall use of the domestic and international markets. We will carry out pilot projects to separate the price forms of agricultural products from government subsidies, subsidize farmers when prices are low and subsidize consumers when prices are high, adjust international trade and foreign investment policies accordingly, improve the reserve and throughput regulation mechanism, adhere to the distinction between varieties, classify regulation, adhere to clear responsibilities and graded responsibilities, adhere to pilot projects first, try first and push later, and gradually establish and improve agricultural product price and market regulation mechanisms that meet China's national conditions and the requirements of current development.

Hu Hengyang stressed that in order to expand national food security to an international perspective, the focus of future policies is to do a good job in both internal and external resources. Actively adjust the import and export strategy of agricultural products, reasonably determine the import scale of major agricultural products, actively implement the import diversification strategy, be more pragmatic and flexible in opening up markets and access, strengthen the combination of import and reserve, strengthen import inspection of bulk agricultural products, and improve the import reporting system.

At the same time, China should release domestic demand signals to the international market in various ways, strengthen foreign market and price-driven research and prediction, improve the foresight and stability of imports, improve agricultural product import management and encourage trade management system, better grasp the supervision of grain exports, and sign simple agreements with agricultural exporting countries.

Adhere to the principle of market pricing

Wang Xiaohui, deputy director of the State Grain and Oil Information Center, said at the meeting that we must unswervingly adhere to the principle of market pricing. Let the market play a decisive role in the allocation of resources. But it must also be gradual, constantly pushing forward the market share. The interests of all parties should be comprehensively considered. We should implement differentiated implementation policies to reduce farmers 'excessive dependence on grain market prices for increasing income. The dilemma facing the corn market is the result of the comprehensive action of the economic situation and the grain situation, and is the squeeze effect of the slowdown of economic growth rate and the rapid growth of output. The build-up in inventories is a result of upstream production growth and slower downstream consumption.

Wang Xiaohui believes that in the next five years, grain will be in a new platform period, supply will exceed demand for a long time, corn prices will also face long-term downward pressure. China plays an active role in grain conversion by giving full play to the deep processing industry and guiding and expanding consumption in various ways.
