Chen Liang needs to step up supervision to find out the bottom of the family for new grain

The chaos existing in China's grain storage system, such as replacing old grain with new grain, is not only related to the unsmooth mechanism and imperfect system, but also to the lack of management and lax supervision of the relevant departments. It takes a process to straighten out the mechanism and reform the system, but tightening the granary and strictly inspecting the rats are urgent tasks that do not wait for time.

The State Grain Administration issued an emergency notice on the 21st and decided to conduct a key inspection of the state's policy-oriented grain collection and storage enterprises. Earlier, CCTV reported that in the process of policy grain collection, storage and sale, some grain depots in Liaoning and Jilin provinces used old grain for new grain and maliciously took subsidies for price differences, seriously harming the interests of the state and grain farmers.

Grain depots and grain merchants collude with each other to replace new grain with old grain to earn the price difference, which is a long-standing mode of "arbitrage" in China's grain system. Turning old grain into new grain has long been no secret in the industry. before that, there was the so-called "circle grain"-the grain depot asked enterprises to "help" buy the old grain in the depot, and then the grain depot bought it back as new grain, and the grain did not leave the grain depot from the beginning to the end. After turning around in place, it brought a large amount of financial subsidy income to the grain depot. This time, in the Chen Dingxin incident that took place in Liaoning and Jilin, the grain is no longer in place, but there is a real circulation. Compared with the previous "round grain", there is another important difference, that is, the subsidy fraudulently obtained by "round grain" basically falls into the unit's small treasury, and in this incident, the huge price difference subsidy is very likely to fall into the personal pocket. The nature of this incident of changing old grain into new grain has changed from violation of law and discipline by units in the past to illegal and criminal acts involving the participation of relatives of persons in charge of grain depots and internal and external collusion involving corruption.

Food security has an important impact on the overall situation of national economic and social development. The grain depots involved in the accident in Liaoning and Jilin belong to China Grain Storage, which is a large and important state-owned backbone enterprise related to national security and the lifeline of the national economy. In October 2013, China Storage Grain, which has been full of problems for a long time, completed a major change in the senior management team, and the new chairman, general manager, and chief accountant took office. The new leadership has conducted a large-scale investigation and punishment of the "four evils" in the industries such as "turning around grain", unauthorized use of reserve stocks, grade depression and price reduction and price-raising acquisitions, and the establishment of small coffers. However, the Chen Dingxin incident, which took place in Liao and Jilin, is even worse than the previous phenomenon of "turning grain". This reality is thought-provoking. The Chen Dingxin incident shows that the "giant mouse" covets the delicacy in the granary all the time, and changes and updates its theft methods from time to time, which is a test for the high level of grain storage, and, in other words, for the food security of our country.

The State Grain Administration issued an emergency notice and decided to carry out a key inspection of the national brand "granary", which is undoubtedly very necessary. If the old grain with musty smell and uncertain quality is really put on the table, it is bound to pose a serious threat to public health. The State Food Administration must conduct timely investigation and keep the bottom line of food safety. At the same time, in the inspection of the state's policy-oriented grain collection and storage enterprises, the competent grain departments should find out their family background and keep the bottom line of China's food security.

The illegal and disciplinary problems of China Grain Storage in recent years mostly occur in the process of implementing the policy of "supporting the purchase of the market" in the national grain reserve depot, and the Chen Dingxin incident, which occurred in Liao and Jilin, is one of them. One of the important reasons for the frequent problems of grain storage is that the work rights and responsibilities in policy storage have far exceeded the actual capacity of grain storage, resulting in the situation that the so-called "pony pulling cart" is inadequate. Due to the lack of collection and storage capacity in the system, grain storage must be entrusted to local grain enterprises to carry out collection and storage. In recent years, the scale of policy collection and storage is getting larger and larger, and more and more grain enterprises are involved. However, with regard to the various "join" grain depots, China Grain Storage has no control over both personnel and finance, and it is inevitable that the rats will run rampant.

The chaos existing in China's grain storage system, such as replacing old grain with new grain, is not only related to the unsmooth mechanism and imperfect system, but also to the lack of management and lax supervision of the relevant departments. It takes a process to straighten out the mechanism and reform the system, but tightening the granary and strictly inspecting the rats are urgent tasks that do not wait for time. The case of replacing old grain with new grain in Liao and Jilin is certainly not an isolated case, and people expect more "hamsters" to be caught.
