How does soybean target price subsidy issue?

In early 2014, China began to launch pilot projects of target price subsidies for soybeans in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia and cotton in Xinjiang, which means that the soybean temporary storage policy since 2008 has come to an end. The success of the pilot project of soybean target price reform is related to the success or failure of agricultural product target price reform.

So, what is the effect of the implementation of soybean target price policy? According to the state regulations, subsidies are about to be issued, but many farmers are still vague about the specific matters. This newspaper will sort out the soybean target price subsidy policy for you in detail.

The price is low and soybean farmers are reluctant to sell.

Since the implementation of the soybean target price subsidy policy in Inner Mongolia and three northeastern provinces last year, there has been no expected active trading in the soybean market. And since the soybean scale opened in the autumn of 2014, soybean prices have fallen all the way, and soybean farmers have covered up the sale of beans.

According to the estimation of Heilongjiang Soybean Association, there was a restorative increase in soybean acreage and yield last year. However, there is no expected scene of active trading in the soybean market, and the situation of "strong production and weak sales" of soybeans has not been fundamentally changed.

Liu Min, president of the Sun Wu Soybean Association in Heilongjiang Province, told reporters that as the price of soybeans continued to fall, farmers did not make money when they sold them, but now the market price has fallen to about 2 yuan per jin, 0.3 to 0.4 yuan per jin lower than that of last year, and farmers' endurance can hardly be sustained. "this year, as long as we do not grow soybeans and grow corn, the income will exceed that of soybeans." Soybean farmers in Heihe Rachang Township in Heilongjiang Province reported that villagers in many villages and towns said they could no longer grow soybeans this year. At present, at the beginning of the spring sowing season, corn has been planted in the newly reclaimed forests in recent years.

Wang Xiaoyu, deputy secretary general of the Heilongjiang Soybean Association, said that soybean farmers are reluctant to sell, thinking that they will "hold back" the high price, or because of inertia, they mistakenly think that the state temporary reserve will continue to buy soybeans, on the one hand, because soybean farmers have a wrong understanding of the new policy, and on the other hand, they ignore that the collection period is until March. In other words, if the average price of soybeans in the province is 1.7 yuan per catty during the collection period, then soybean farmers who sell soybeans will get a differential subsidy of 0.7 yuan per catty according to the standard of 2.4 yuan / jin. In April, no matter how low the soybean sales price is, it will not affect the average price of soybeans in Heilongjiang Province. If it loses money, it can only be borne by the soybean farmers themselves.

The association said that at present, the target price subsidy for Northeast large [Weibo] beans is in the pilot cycle, the measurement of soybean acreage has been completed, the pilot area is in the price collection period (from October last year to March this year), and the target price subsidy has not yet been issued.

As a new policy form, the target price of soybean is much more complicated than the previous market-supporting acquisition. At present, farmers are preparing for spring ploughing and are in urgent need of funds, but subsidies have not yet been issued for a long time. Bean farmers can not eat through the policy, their hearts are not dragged down, choose to wait and see, cherish sales naturally become the only way to protect their own interests.

Subsidies are difficult to "quench thirst" and need to be strengthened.

Liu Min, president of the Sun Wu Soybean Association in Heilongjiang Province, has always been an advocate for the protection of domestic soybeans. He was gratified when he heard that the state would provide direct subsidies to soybean farmers. In his view, this is an opportunity for domestic soybeans and soybean farmers. However, with the announcement of the details of the subsidy, he visited the surrounding villages and towns and found that the effect of the subsidy policy on the market was far less than expected. "the subsidy price of 2.4 yuan per jin can not arouse farmers' enthusiasm for planting at all." Liu Min calculated an account for the reporter: in terms of production cost, 5000 yuan per hectare of soybeans was invested, and 4000 jin of soybeans were harvested in autumn. According to the standard of state subsidy, 2.4 yuan per jin is equivalent to 9600 yuan, but for farmers, there is no profit if the price of soybeans does not reach 3 yuan per jin at all. Compared with corn, the production cost of 10000 yuan per hectare is used to harvest 30000 jin in autumn. after deducting moisture and others, according to the purchase of 0.8 yuan per jin, the net profit is more than 10,000 yuan. "due to the remarkable benefits of corn this year, land rent has begun to rise by 1000 yuan per hectare, so farmers will not grow soybeans." Liu Min said helplessly.

According to the survey and analysis of the association, soybeans in Sunwu County, the largest soybean growing area in China, accounting for 1/3 of Heilongjiang, will drop sharply from more than 10 million mu in 2014. "if soybeans are not protected, the current precarious spark may be extinguished." This is what Liu Min worries most.

Talk about how to reverse the situation and highlight the policy effect?

Wang Xiaoyu, deputy secretary general of the Heilongjiang Soybean Association, said that the original intention of the soybean target price policy was very good and was welcomed by farmers, but since it was implemented in the first year, many people did not understand the situation, resulting in only 50% of soybean sales in the province. In order to achieve the desired results, an appropriate delay is a good way. Second, according to the original plan, the target price for soybeans for 2015 will be announced in May, but due to the obvious downward trend in soybean prices this year, many farmers in the province have abandoned soybeans to corn. Heilongjiang Province entered the sowing season in April, so the target price of soybean this year should be announced as soon as possible to stabilize farmers' confidence in planting. Otherwise, after spring ploughing, the effect of soybean target price will not be obvious.

In addition, Wang Xiaoyu also called for the target price of soybeans in 2014 to be on the low side, and the income per mu of planting corn is 200 yuan higher than that of soybeans, so the target price of soybeans should be raised appropriately.

Liu Min also specifically pointed out that farmers have messed up soybean seeds in order to pursue high yield, so protecting China's traditional high-quality and high-protein edible soybeans is also an important task for us at present.

In 2014, in order to protect soybean seeds, the Association invested a lot of money to plant 15000 mu of high-protein soybeans in Sunwu area, which can be used to grow more than 300,000 mu of soybeans.

According to Liu Min, they chose early-maturing, high-quality and high-protein soybeans, which are located in the mixed zone of mountains, forests, mountains and grasslands, with uneven geographical location, low climate and short frost-free period (90,105) days. That is, the local fifth accumulated temperate zone lower limit 6 accumulated temperate zone. This determines that farmers prefer early-maturing soybean varieties.
