Why don't you grow grain on the transferred land?

To curb the "non-grain" trend of land circulation, it is necessary to make it profitable for farmers to grow grain, and to set restrictions on industrial and commercial capital going to the countryside to cultivate land on a large scale.

Behind the current heat of land transfer, the phenomenon of "non-grain" is worthy of vigilance.

Recently, a survey released by a major grain-producing province showed that the proportion of "de-grain" of land transferred by large households reached 60%, an increase of 16.3% over 2010. According to a survey conducted by the Ministry of Agriculture, only 6% of industrial and commercial enterprises in some areas rent land to grow grain. The faster the transfer of land, the larger the area of "de-grain". Who will grow grain in the future?

Why does the transferred land not grow grain? The main reason is that the benefit of growing grain is low. "one mu of vegetables can hold several mu of grain." whether it is a large circulation or industrial and commercial capital, farming in the countryside is aimed at cash crops with more money. A large circulation family frankly said that now the land rent, the price of agricultural materials, and labor costs are constantly rising. the rent of an acre of land in the northeast is 800yuan, the central region is 1000 yuan, and the coastal area is 1500 yuan. Even if you have the ability to rent land and grow grain, it will be difficult to make money.

Is it really a contradiction that the state wants grain and transfers land to make money? In fact, judging from the structure of China's agricultural products, it is roughly 70% of grain and 30% of cash crops. There is a market balance, with low input, low risk and stable income, while the income of cash crops is high, but it is also accompanied by certain risks. Compared with industrial and commercial enterprises, farmers grow grain regardless of manpower, flexible production, and have more advantages. The advantage of the company in going to the countryside lies in the modern farming industry, rather than competing with farmers for farming. Therefore, in the future, it still depends on the broad masses of farmers to protect their enthusiasm for growing grain, and we should focus on supporting new business entities that are closely related to farmers. at the same time, we should set a certain threshold for industrial and commercial capital to go to the countryside to cultivate land on a large scale.

However, some places have reversed their circulation, giving the green light for industrial and commercial capital to go to the countryside, unrealistically adjusting the structure, and not hesitating to rely on administrative orders to set targets and catch up with speed in order to form a scale and set an example. A piece of grain field is changed into a nursery stock base and a flower base, but the market demand is so great. The more bases there are, the greater the risk. Once the industry collapses and the company leaves, it will eventually damage the interests of farmers.

What is cost-effective and what is planted is a kind of market behavior, but with excessive administrative intervention, it is often easy to change. In particular, agriculture is not a simple industry, it is related to the livelihood of hundreds of millions of farmers, related to national food security, can not only talk about efficiency, regardless of the rest. In order to curb the "non-grain" trend of land transfer, we should study the countermeasures from the strategic perspective of national food security, and the key point is to make grain farmers profitable.

Protect the enthusiasm of growing grain. Agriculture is a weak industry, so it is necessary to improve the grain subsidy policy for new operators, innovate subsidy methods, and improve accuracy and orientation. We will explore the grain target price system and establish a dynamic grain price formation mechanism based on market regulation.

We will ensure that we will not suffer losses in catching grain. Most of the major grain counties are "high-yield and poor counties." it is necessary to speed up the establishment of an interest compensation mechanism, further increase the intensity of financial transfer payments, and mobilize the local enthusiasm of attaching importance to agriculture and grabbing grain. On this basis, the state has issued a guiding policy to delimit permanent basic grain fields to ensure that grain land is used and shall not be occupied.

Standardize the transfer of land. To properly manage the visible hand of the government, we must keep the bottom line of the policy. The government cannot replace the market, nor can it replace the peasants. In particular, we should not deviate from the actual situation such as the stage of local agricultural development and the relationship between people and land, and unilaterally pursue scale and speed for circulation.
