To avoid the difficulty of selling grain, there should be solutions to the "examination questions".

In the face of days of rain, Peng Dejun, a big grain grower in Chengtou Township, Sihong County, is very worried. The 45-year-old farmer planted 4000 mu of rice this year and did not harvest it until November 22. On the one hand, he was worried that Rain Water would make the ripe rice lodge and turn it into a "rotten rice farm." on the other hand, he was worried that the rice would not fetch a good price.

"the rice that has been harvested has been sold to brokers, and their price is only 1.07-1.08 yuan per jin." He sighed and said that although the moisture content is a bit high, reaching about 23%, if it is converted into moisture that meets the national purchase standard of 14.5%, it will only be about 1.30 yuan per jin, which is a big difference from the national minimum purchase price of 1.55 yuan per jin. A few days ago, he went to the national reserve warehouse in the county to inquire, and the answer he got was that the storage capacity was too tight to receive his grain for the time being. "at the current price, although there is an increase of 100 jin of rice per mu this year, it can only save capital and make a small profit."

Affected by the low market grain prices and high domestic stocks, the shortage of storage capacity has become a common phenomenon in the country's major grain producing areas, and there is also an unprecedented gap in the purchase of autumn grain in Jiangsu Province this year. In the face of this situation, how to ensure the interests of farmers, especially large grain growers, and avoid cheap grain to hurt farmers, has become an "examination question" in front of the grain department.

"the approach we have adopted is to give priority to the grain sales needs of large grain growers." Wang Haiyong, director of the Xuzhou Grain Bureau, said that the reason for doing so is that large grain growers have harvested a large amount of grain and have nowhere to store it, while farmers with smaller planting area can generally solve the problem of grain storage by themselves, stagger the peak of grain sales and trade time for space. Therefore, before the autumn grain harvest, all the grain depots in Xuzhou City found out all the large households with a planting area of more than 300 mu, and took the initiative to make an appointment with the large households. by October 21, the autumn grain harvest in the city was basically completed, and there was basically no difficulty in selling grain. The grain planting area of Jiangyan District of Taizhou City has reached more than 500,000 mu, and the practice in the area is to ensure that family farms and large families planted on a large scale are given priority to purchase. As a matter of fact, Yixing City and Liyang City, which have a large grain planting area in southern Jiangsu, have also adopted the method of giving priority to ensuring that large grain growers sell grain first.

There is also a special phenomenon this year: due to the small warehouse capacity used to support the purchase of the market (the right of grain belongs to the State Council), which is far from meeting the grain sales needs of farmers, it has also become a "knowledge" to mobilize local state-owned grain depots and social buyers to purchase autumn grain. There are many grain processing enterprises in Xuzhou. On the one hand, grain departments do the work of processing enterprises and encourage them to cooperate with farmers in a variety of ways, such as purchasing and selling agents, cooperative operation, entrusted sales and so on. On the other hand, explain the national policy to farmers: if they cannot enter the "plate" purchased by supporting the market, and the grain department guarantees to help farmers sell grain to private processing enterprises, the moisture requirement can be relaxed to 16% Mur17%, and the price is correspondingly lower, about 1.35 yuan per catty. Sell the grain in your hand first, otherwise the wet rice will be stored for a long time, which will inevitably affect the quality and make it more difficult to sell at a good price.

Huai'an City adopts the method of leasing and purchasing, in addition to supporting the market acquisition, it increases the purchase of self-operated grain by 150 million jin; Xinghua City coordinates joint-stock enterprises and social warehouse capacity to participate in the acquisition, and strives for more warehouse capacity to invest in autumn grain acquisition. In addition to borrowing 40,000 tons of social storage capacity and collecting local rice, Jiangyan District also mobilized 50 grain processing enterprises in the area to step up acquisition efforts. Chen Yi, a farmer in Tazi Village, Dalun Town, sold 5 mu of rice to processing enterprises at a price of 1.38 yuan per jin. He is satisfied with the price. "it has been rainy these days. There is no way to dry the rice. If we don't sell it, we will lose a lot of money."

In order to solve the difficulty for farmers to sell grain, the grain department of the whole province has done everything in its power. In order to free up storage capacity, many counties (cities) in Yancheng are prepared to sell self-operated grain purchased in previous years at a loss; Liyang City's self-operated grain has been sold out, and the selling price is lower than last year's purchase price, and the local state-owned grain depots bear the resulting economic losses; Xinghua Grain Bureau is actively striving for government financial support to speed up the auction of grain out of the warehouse. At the same time, on November 20, the Provincial Grain Bureau held a "Promotion meeting of Jiangsu famous, Special, excellent and New Grain and Oil products" in Shanghai, which was attended by grain management departments and purchasing and marketing enterprises from five major grain selling areas, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Yunnan. At the promotion meeting, Chen Jie, director of the Provincial Grain Bureau, implored well-known grain and oil enterprises in five provinces and cities to work together with Jiangsu grain merchants for win-win cooperation and jointly achieve enterprise efficiency and increase farmers' income. The promotion meeting signed a total of 14 grain purchase and sales contracts, and about 490000 tons of Jiangsu grain will be imported into five provinces and cities to relieve the pressure on Jiangsu Province's storage capacity.
