The main channel for purchasing in the policy harvest and reserve grain market

In the face of the grim situation of inverted grain prices in the market, the state continued to implement the minimum purchase price and temporary purchase and storage policy for staple grain varieties in 2014. China Grain Reserve, together with relevant local departments, fully played its role as the main force. In the whole year, it organized a total of nearly 125 million tons of policy purchases, and the purchase volume reached another all-time high. In 2014, policy acquisition and storage became the main channel for market acquisition, safeguarding market stability and farmers' interests. This is what the reporter learned from the 2015 work meeting on Central Grain reserves held in Beijing on February 2.

In 2014, the market grain prices showed a grim situation of hanging finished grain upside down, production and marketing areas upside down, and at home and abroad. As the main body of the state's policy to support the market, China Grain Storage Corporation overcame difficulties and efficiently completed various macro-control tasks such as acquisition, sales, research, warehouse building, rotation and so on. In the purchase of summer grain, the "six common" mechanisms of joint appointment, joint purchase, joint acceptance, joint custody, joint supervision and joint release of summer grain should be implemented by the local grain administrative departments, the Agricultural Development Bank and the China stored Grain. In the purchase of autumn grain, we will implement the "one main and two auxiliary" mechanism with medium grain reserves as the main body and other central enterprises as auxiliary forces, so as to clarify the relationship between responsibility and power and ensure the smooth progress of the purchase. In the acquisition of temporary storage of rapeseed, the sixteen-character policy of "independent acquisition, commissioned processing, tank rental and storage, and whole-process supervision" is followed to effectively prevent risks. In view of the fact that the inventory is high and the warehouse capacity is under great pressure, since the middle of May 2014, China Grain reserves have increased the sales of policy grain according to the national arrangements, arranged the auction plan in a balanced manner, and divided the transaction targets rationally. a total of 52.14 million tons of policy grain were auctioned, the highest level since 2011. In order to focus on solving the problem of insufficient storage capacity in Northeast China, we concentrated on completing the task of transferring 10.15 million tons across provinces, setting a new record of 2.48 million tons per month in Northeast China. We stepped up efforts to build warehouses, built 4.55 million tons of new projects, alleviated the contradiction in storage capacity in major production areas, greatly facilitated farmers' grain sales, and improved the collection and storage capacity of production areas. In terms of rotation, in the face of the unfavorable situation of upside-down prices in the grain market and the widening gap between new and old prices, China's grain reserves should give priority to national interests, put the quality of grain reserves first, strengthen the rigid constraints of the rotation plan, and ensure that the central grain and oil reserves are always new. The completion rate of the rotation plan of the central grain reserves was 97% in 2013 and more than 92% in 2014.

At the same time, the China Grain Storage Corporation deepened the reform and improved the management mechanism. In 2014, it established the three vertical control mechanisms of human, financial and material, and a three-level grain reserve quantity and quality supervision and inspection system, and through the reform of regional integration, the original 851 directly affiliated depots were integrated into 346 central depots, through the implementation of intelligent grain depot construction. A technical system for remote monitoring of grain situation, intelligent supervision of grain in and out of warehouses and monitoring of inventory quantity has been set up to serve the management and control of the group. the intelligent construction of 114 direct warehouses has been completed in 2014, and it is planned that all 346 direct warehouses will be covered this year.
