Corn planting is not as good as garlic planting garlic net profit per mu for 1500 yuan

Recently, Lanling County Price Bureau conducted a survey on the production, acquisition and income of autumn grain in 2015. The investigation shows that in the past three years, the income of garlic planting in Lanling County: 2000 jin of garlic per mu and 1200 jin of garlic bolts. The planting cost is 5100 yuan (including family labor and self-camp discount rent), the average selling price of garlic is 1.80yuan / jin, garlic bolting is 2.50yuan / jin, the total output value of garlic (garlic bolting) is 6600 yuan per mu, and the net profit of planting garlic is 1500 yuan per mu. If labor and land expenses are not calculated (a total of about 3400 yuan), the net profit per mu is 3400 yuan.

On the other hand, the profit per mu of corn, excluding household labor and self-encampment discount, is 557.5 yuan, and the profit per mu calculated by families is-322.5 yuan. Compared with garlic planting, the gap is very obvious, which also reflects the huge gap in the current income of grain crops and cash crops.

However, the importance of autumn grain is bound to maintain the production of autumn grain. In this regard, experts put forward relevant suggestions:

First, the state has introduced corresponding measures to subsidize corn prices. While the state gradually reduces and cancels the purchase price of corn to support the market, it is necessary to formulate emergency regulation and control measures when grain prices are too low, which can give farmers certain price subsidies or subsidies, and minimize the economic losses of farmers growing grain.

Second, under the current market pattern of corn prices, many purchasing enterprises say that the current instability of grain prices has increased, which has a negative impact on the formulation and implementation of the purchase plan, and it is suggested that the price department can release grain price information more accurately and timely and reasonably predict the future price trend.

The third is to introduce the mechanism of grain price insurance. with the opening of the market, the instability of grain prices increases and the risk of farmers growing grain increases. According to the idea of developing vegetable price insurance, we can consider carrying out grain price insurance and set a specific "floor" price under the market price to prevent farmers' economic losses caused by too low grain prices. At the same time, the national standard of subsidy for improved varieties of corn can be raised accordingly on the existing basis.
