To solve the postpartum loss of grain, it is necessary to accelerate the industrialization of agriculture.

With the arrival of the 24th National Grain-loving and Grain-Saving publicity week, the State Grain Administration said that China's post-natal grain loss is very wasteful. According to the estimates of relevant scientific research institutions and experts, due to the simple grain storage facilities of peasant households, grain handling and transportation omissions, excessive or extensive processing, the annual grain loss in China is at least more than 70 billion jin, which is equivalent to 200 million people's annual food rations. Among them, due to the simple equipment of farmers' grain storage and the low level of storage technology, the grain loss rate caused by rodent pests, insect pests, mildew and other factors is about 8%. It is calculated that farmers lose about 40 billion jin of grain storage every year, and there is great potential to save grain and cherish grain. (October 10th, People's Daily)

Relevant data show that Chinese consumers waste 8 million tons of food protein and 3 million tons of fat each year alone, and the total amount of food wasted each year is equivalent to about 50 billion kilograms of grain, close to 1/10 of the country's total grain output. Even if it is conservatively estimated, the annual food rations of at least about 200 million people will be poured out every year. If more than 70 billion jin of grain is lost in the process of grain production, processing and storage, the annual loss of wasted grain in the country is equivalent to the annual food rations of more than 400 million people, which is enough to feed several countries with middle population in the world. Whether this statistic is sensational or not, the loss of grain in the process of production, processing and storage is huge, and it is an indisputable fact that food is wasted seriously.

If we say that agriculture is the foundation of national economic development and social stability, then grain production is the foundation of this foundation. In the historical development of our country for thousands of years, "instability without agriculture" can be described as an everlasting motto, and the importance of food security is self-evident. China's population accounts for nearly 20% of the world's total population. As food experts say, China can solve the problem of food security of its own population. Has made a great contribution to the world. In fact, in recent years, we have not only solved the problem of feeding our own population, but also led the world in terms of food security and rapid economic growth. In addition to benefiting from the bumper harvest of summer grain for 10 consecutive years, food security is mainly due to the fact that the national policy of benefiting farmers has aroused the enthusiasm of farmers to grow grain, coupled with the continuous increase in investment in science, technology and machinery agriculture, and so on. The output is also increasing year by year.

However, it is obvious that the serious post-natal loss of grain, coupled with the huge waste of food business, has greatly consumed the growth of grain and solved the problem of post-natal loss of grain. In addition to emphasizing people's awareness of saving and cherishing grain, we must also rely on the input of science and technology and the technical improvement of facilities in various links. However, the current universal household contract model has been unable to adapt to the development of modern agricultural science and technology. On the basis of protecting farmers' interests and in accordance with the requirements of the central authorities, farmers are allowed to take shares in the contracted management rights to develop agricultural industrialization, and the contracted management rights are encouraged to be transferred to large professional households, family farms, farmers' cooperatives and agricultural enterprises in the open market, so as to develop various forms of large-scale operation. As we all know, the guarantee of high yield and bumper harvest in grain production depends on the harvesting technology and the way of receiving goods. The large-scale planting mode has created conditions for the input of modern agricultural science and technology equipment, and can more effectively guarantee the return of grains to the warehouse.

In fact, in the process of grain storage and processing, due to the limitations of economy, technology and environment, farmers' grain storage equipment is simple and crude, and the level of storage technology is low, which is greatly affected by factors such as rodent pests, insect pests and mildew. In terms of grain storage, whether it is the use of facilities and equipment or various new technologies, coupled with new modern management concepts, large-scale production and operation is carried out after land transfer. These drawbacks formed by each household basically no longer exist, especially in processing. Restricted by capital and technology and other conditions, each household can only rough the grain, and the crude processing equipment is simple. The loss of grain can not be avoided, while the grain enterprises of large-scale production are not. In order to maximize benefits, they are forced to reduce and eliminate losses on the basis of reducing and eliminating losses. We must do enough work on grain finishing.

In fact, the implementation of large-scale planting and production of grain is not only the general trend of the development of modern agriculture, but also the premise of ensuring the input and application of modern agricultural science and technology, and also the guarantee of reducing and avoiding the loss and waste of grain in various links such as storage, processing and so on. therefore, only by accelerating land circulation and carrying out large-scale planting and production can we fundamentally solve the problem of various losses and waste after grain production. General Secretary Xi Jinping once said that Chinese people should put Chinese grain in their bowls. However, as a matter of fact, the grain we produce has not been fully packed into our own bowls, or even put into bowls and poured out a lot. The "CD-ROM operation" has enhanced the saving consciousness of the catering business and consumers, but the post-natal loss of grain has always been ignored. there is a saying in the ancients: who knows that every grain on the plate is the hard work of the peasants. Being lost after a bumper harvest is not worth it and must be changed. It is not only irresponsible to oneself to lose and waste grain, but also a "crime" to the whole country and even to all human beings. the concept of cherishing and saving food always needs to be maintained and advocated.
