Nowadays, the joy of the arrival of the New year does not seem to be visible to the arable land drivers. what worries them is that it is not easy for them to transfer arable land to grow food. Today, the purchase price of grain is close to the "ceiling", while the transfer price of cultivated land is like sesame blossoming.

A few years ago, the general transfer price of cultivated land was about 500 yuan, but now it has risen to 700 yuan to 800 yuan, and even more than 1000 yuan. According to the statistics of relevant departments, the current net income of farmers per mu of land is only 682 yuan. If the transfer price of cultivated land continues to rise, the original transfer of cultivated land to grow food crops will have to turn to other crops, or reduce or even withdraw from the ranks of farmers.

The rigid growth of grain consumption in China requires that grain production must continue to increase. Not long ago, the State Council issued some opinions on establishing and improving the responsibility system of provincial governors for food security, which made it clear that provincial governments have a "responsibility to defend the land" in safeguarding national food security. and from the grain production, circulation, consumption and other links to further clarify the power and responsibility of provincial governors. However, implementing the responsibility system of provincial governors for food security and developing new types of agricultural operators such as large grain growers, family farms and farmers' professional cooperatives are still the key measures to promote grain production. Without appropriate scale operation, it will be very difficult for grain production to continue to increase production and harvest.

To cope with the rising cost of cultivated land transfer, efforts should be made from three aspects: guidance and policy.

Strengthen guidance

As an indispensable food commodity for people to eat three meals a day, its market price cannot rise indefinitely. China has implemented the lowest grain purchase price in the main grain producing areas, although it has played a positive role. But now we are faced with unavoidable problems that need to be solved urgently. The most obvious is that the price of domestic grain is much higher than that of the international market, and a large number of low-priced foreign grain pours into our country, resulting in more and more grain purchased by the state, larger and larger stocks, and less and less sales.

In the context of global economic integration, if we do not act in accordance with the laws of the market economy, there will be problems that can not be ignored. At the end of last year, the state made it clear that the minimum purchase price of wheat in 2015 should be maintained at 1.18 yuan per jin in 2014. From one side, it reflects that the high level of the country attaches great importance to the adjustment of grain policy, and on the other hand, it also reflects that the minimum purchase price of grain in our country cannot rise indefinitely.

At present, China's basic policy on cultivated land transfer is "legal, voluntary and paid". Under this premise, governments at all levels cannot take administrative measures to interfere with the circulation of farmers' cultivated land. However, it is feasible to strengthen guidance. It is necessary to help farmers who transfer arable land to calculate three accounts: how much money can they earn a year by growing their own food crops? How much money can others earn besides paying the transfer fee? How much can be collected per mu of land for win-win cooperation between the two sides? Only when the transfer cost of cultivated land is moderate, can the cultivated land be transferred out; only when the cultivated land is transferred, can the labor force be freed for other jobs and earn more money; and only through the large-scale operation of cultivated land can we attach equal importance to the economic and social benefits of growing grain.

Give a subsidy

According to the existing grain production capacity, engaged in large-scale grain operation, even if the transfer price of cultivated land is moderate, the profits of the transferers are very small. In the long run, the transfer of cultivated land "non-agricultural", "non-grain" is inevitable.

A very important way to make new agricultural operators such as large grain growers, family farms and farmers' specialized cooperatives grow food crops without hesitation is to give subsidies to large-scale grain growers. In 2014, Tongshan District, Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province issued a policy, for large grain growers with more than 100 mu of land and a circulation period of not less than 10 years, the district finance will give an annual subsidy of 100 yuan per mu.

One of the advantages of giving subsidies is that it makes up for the deficiency of subsidies for growing grain and improved varieties. The current grain subsidies and improved seed subsidies for farmers in China have not been subsidized to new agricultural operators such as large grain growers, family farms, farmers' professional cooperatives and so on. In this regard, in addition to local government subsidies, the state finance should also introduce subsidy policies; the second benefit is to increase the income of new grain producers. Under the condition of a certain grain market price, if the government does not subsidize grain operators on a large scale, it is bound to reduce their enthusiasm for growing grain, which in turn affects grain production; the third advantage is to stabilize market grain prices. With certain scale operation subsidies, scale producers can sell grain commodities in accordance with the principle of following the market, and market food prices may tend to stabilize.

Grain sales subsidy

Grain prices cannot be raised year after year, and the income of large-scale grain growers can be increased steadily, so it is a good way to implement grain sales subsidies.

In line with the principle of "who sells grain, who subsidizes", grain farmers in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, as long as they hold the grain self-production certificate of the township government and the formal purchase bill of the state-owned grain purchasing enterprise, they can actually receive a subsidy of 0.1 yuan for every kilogram of grain sold. Subsidy funds are distributed directly to farmers who sell surplus grain in the form of "one card".

The advantages of the method of subsidizing grain sales are as follows: first, it solves the malpractice of "growing more and less is the same". If you grow more grain, you will get more subsidies; on the contrary, you will get less subsidies; the second is the malpractice of "planting and not planting the same". In many parts of our country, grain subsidies are subsidized according to the taxable area, regardless of whether they grow grain or not; the third is the malpractice of "the same kind of high and low output". According to the acreage subsidy, some farmers operate extensively, regardless of whether the output is high or low, resulting in a waste of resources; fourth, the malpractice of "how much grain is sold." In a sense, ensuring national food security means that the whole society can meet the consumption of commodity food every year. The implementation of grain sales subsidies can encourage grain producers to produce more grain and sell more grain.

The promotion of grain sales subsidy will have a far-reaching impact on encouraging the emergence of more new scale operators of grain and solving the problem of "growing grain without people". It will have a far-reaching impact on the overall development of urban and rural areas and ensuring national food security.
