The centralized distribution of "zero price difference" pesticides has saved more than 5 million of the cost for farmers.

"this small box has not been used for many years, and now it comes in handy again." Yesterday, Chen Yinlong, the owner of Longnan Village, Gaoqiao Town, assured that a box containing "jiao coins" on the counter said that since Tongxiang implemented zero price difference sales of basic pesticides this year, the "jiao coins", which were rarely used in commodity transactions in the past, have made a comeback, and people are getting more and more benefits.

In Chen Yinlong's shop, many pesticides are priced with "horns". In front of Lao Chen's shop, a "zero difference pesticide list and price list" is eye-catching: 60 cents per pack of dichloroquinolinic acid, 30 cents per pack of benzenesulfuron, 40 cents per pack of imidacloprid, 1.90 cents per pack of carbendazim. After a rough count, there are 39 kinds of pesticides with "horns". Even if those who buy drugs forget to bring coins, sellers have to prepare coins for change. Small boxes containing "coins" have now become standard in pesticide stores.

"originally, the price of pesticides on the market is generally accurate to'50 cents'at most, but after zero price difference sales, the prices of agricultural commodities are much more affordable than before." Uncle Chen, a villager of Longnan Village, calculated that a bag of imidacloprid was originally sold for more than 1 yuan, but now it is only 0.5 yuan, and each mu of land is calculated according to 9 bags of medicine, which alone will save 5 yuan.

Since May this year, 36 kinds of commonly used pesticides of 67 different specifications have been included in the "Zero Price difference list" in Tongxiang, of which 39 commonly used pesticides are priced in "horn" and 31 are not priced at "50 cents". 120 pesticide retail stores in the city have joined the "zero price difference system" to sell zero price difference pesticides to the farmers they serve, and villagers can basically buy affordable agricultural commodities without leaving the village.

To promote the implementation of pesticide "zero price difference" sales, it is the farmers who really get the real benefits. According to reports, because there are too many pesticide retail stores, most of them are small in scale, and the average service coverage area of the store is not large. In order to ensure the total profit, the price difference between wholesale and zero prices of pesticides is relatively large. After the implementation of the "zero price difference," the price for farmers to buy medicine is the ex-factory price of pesticide production enterprises, and there is no price increase in any intermediate link, which makes the price of pesticides drop significantly. For example, in previous years, the price of a pack of 2 yuan or 3 yuan of imidacloprid is now only 80 cents, and the environmentally friendly new drug chlorobenzamide vigorously promoted by the technical department has dropped from 180 yuan to 110 yuan....

After half a year of water testing, Tongxiang's "zero price difference sale of basic pesticide centralized distribution" has achieved results in standardizing sales channels, purifying the market, improving the technology arrival rate, ensuring the safety of agricultural production, and saving agricultural expenditure. So far, the municipal agricultural materials company has distributed 18 million yuan of zero-price pesticides, and farmers have saved more than 5 million yuan in pesticide costs at the same level of drug use.
