What you don't know about "granary corruption" is not just corruption.

Recently, Qingyun Castle Central Grain Depot in Kaiyuan City of Liaoning Province and Qianguo Baiyilaga Storage Warehouse in Matsubara City of Jilin Province have been exposed by CCTV to have problems such as replacing new grain with old grain and maliciously taking price difference subsidies. As soon as the news came out, the national grain depot once again became the focus of public attention.

"Food is the most important thing for the people", grain reserve is a material reserve system established to ensure the food consumption demand of non-agricultural population, adjust the balance of grain supply and demand, stabilize grain market prices, and respond to major natural disasters or other emergencies. China Grain Reserve Management Corporation, which is specifically responsible for management, is regarded as "the granary of the world".

In recent years, with the occurrence of food corruption cases, the breeding of "rats" in individual local grain depots has long been an open secret in society. "Rat infestation" disaster, has let the grain reserve system out of shape, netizens can not help but ask: our "grain heart" in the end what happened?

"Late" survey results

The act of "exchanging old for new" naturally received unanimous condemnation from public opinion.

Reminiscent of the 2013 fire incident in Lindian, Heilongjiang Province, netizens "rainy gray port" joked: wait for all kinds of grain depot fires, fire said very helpless ah.

Such criticism is not uncommon on the Internet in recent days, and the media's constant follow-up reports have kept the "Chen for New" incident heating up.

Under pressure, China Grain Storage Corporation set up an investigation team on April 17 to send personnel to the enterprises involved in the case in the two provinces for verification and handling. After the incident was exposed, two inspection and supervision working groups led by Zhao Wenxian, director of the Supervision and Inspection Department of the State Food Administration, also rushed to Liaoning and Jilin provinces respectively to guide and supervise the inspection work.

Not only that, by Jilin Province, city, county three-level grain bureau composed of a multi-department joint investigation team, in the afternoon of 17 sealed Baiyilaga grain depot 16,000 tons of rice, then rushed to Songyuan, Baicheng and other grain depots to investigate. The investigation team said that the final results may be announced before the 21st. Han Fuchun, director of the Grain Bureau of Jilin Province, said that a general survey of grain depots in Jilin Province would be conducted. If unqualified, they would immediately withdraw from the national grain depots and hold responsible persons accountable.

However, as of April 23, China Youth Daily reporters did not see the results of the investigation published, so called China Grain Corporation, State Food Bureau, Jilin Province Grain Bureau and Liaoning Province Agricultural Commission respectively to understand the latest progress of the investigation.

In the face of the problem, the propaganda department staff of China Grain Storage Corporation said: "Now the joint investigation team of China Grain Storage and relevant departments is conducting an intense investigation, and the results will be reported to the society as soon as possible."

The Information Office of the State Food Bureau said that the specific progress can be consulted with the local investigation team: this matter depends on the situation of the local investigation team, which is mainly published online. The Food Bureau used to mainly supervise, and the follow-up situation is definitely not as good as that of the local area.

Jilin Province grain bureau office staff said that all the progress was disclosed only to CCTV, for reporters 'inquiries, said no comment. Asked why the promise to publish the results of the investigation by 21 days had not been fulfilled, the staff member said it was unclear.

He said that it is not convenient to disclose the contact information of the investigation team. Once the results of the investigation come out, they will be announced as soon as possible, but the specific time is still uncertain.

On the 23rd, after CCTV announced to the outside world, after continuous investigation and evidence collection, Jilin Province investigation team has found out that the exposed mysterious buyer, identity is Baiyilaga grain depot leading relatives. But why is Chen Dingxin the "granary of the world"? How is the investigation of granary corruption? Everything is still unknown.

What you don't know about "granary corruption"

What makes the "rats" flock to is nothing more than a huge profit at their fingertips. In fact,"old for new" is just one of the "granary cats tired".

"There are many forms of corruption, such as passing inferior products off as good ones, obtaining state subsidies with fake ones, taking kickbacks from various projects and falsifying accounts." According to Zheng Fengtian, vice dean of the School of Agriculture and Rural Development of Renmin University of China, under China's existing grain reserve system, corruption not only occurs frequently, but also the difficulty coefficient of corrupt operation is low.

The behavior of grain depots and grain merchants in Liaoning, Jilin and other places exposed by CCTV to replace new grain with old grain to earn price difference is a common one of many grain corruption means.

A similar method, known in the grain industry as "low income and high conversion," refers to the internal profit of grain depots through the annual increase in storage prices by the state.

With the rise in prices,"in recent years, China's grain storage prices each year compared with the previous year, will rise by 10%~15%." Zheng Fengtian said,"And grain can get state subsidies when it is in stock." According to this rule, the grain depot sells the grain purchased at a low price at a high price. This process not only earns a price difference, but also receives subsidies from the state."

The actual situation is much more complicated than in theory, so that many "variants" have been produced. Zhou Guodong of the Grain Bureau of Songshan District in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, wrote that "low income and high conversion" is a common way of grain corruption. This method is mainly used in national and local special grain reserves, and there are often several specific ways of operation, and some illegal operators often drill policy gaps.
