How to take the agricultural road in the high-cost era

At present, land circulation has become the most popular word in rural areas.

According to incomplete statistics, in Gaoqing County, Shandong Province, more than 500 villages have participated in land transfer, accounting for 65% of the total number of villages in the county. At the same time, the circulation cost is also quietly changing, gradually becoming a factor that can not be ignored in the input of agricultural production.

On the one hand, the farmers who sell the land expect a good price; on the other hand, the transferee of the land has to be careful to reduce the cost. The rise and fall of circulation costs depends not only on both sides, but also on the result of the joint action of many factors. Agricultural production, therefore, will show a different "appearance" in the past.

Do the accounts, how expensive is the land?

The rent per mu of successive plots of land has exceeded 1000 yuan, and the money leased by grain farmers accounts for about half of the total cost.

The weather in July was exceptionally hot. On the land of Taili Village, Changjia Town, Gaoqing County, there has been no precipitation for many days, and the leaves of corn seedlings more than half a meter high appear to be a little wilted.

The weather forecast says it will rain these two days, and Li Hongwu, 49, is only looking forward to getting up early. From 2011 to now, the land area of his transfer has expanded from the initial 200 mu to 500 mu. What is more rare is that he has always insisted on using most of the land to grow food.

"at the beginning, it was 1000 yuan per mu, but it was not low at that time, but now this price is basically impossible to rent. For example, even these plots of land around it cost about 1200 yuan." Li Hongwu is under a lot of pressure from simply growing grain. "if the price is any higher, we grain growers will definitely not dare to take it, and we will definitely lose money."

After growing grain for many years, Li Hongwu's abacus has been worked out several times. If you grow wheat and corn, you can earn about 2200 yuan per mu of land in one or two seasons; if you deduct all kinds of costs, the net profit will be no more than 300 to 500 yuan.

"the money for renting land accounts for about half of the total cost, and now this price can still make some money, but it has to be a good year." What Li Hongwu is most worried about is to catch up with natural disasters, and it will be difficult even to maintain capital.

In contrast, Ma Fulong, the Tian Zhen subdistrict office in Majia Village, is much more "chic". People in Majia Village have been planting seedlings since 30 years ago, and the profits have been considerable. Around 2008, Ma Fulong tried to transfer land around, and now the scale has expanded to more than 1500 mu. In the small Majia village, more than 10 households have transferred land to plant seedlings.

"the rent will only account for about one hundred and two hundred of the total cost, and even if it goes up by one hundred and two hundred, it won't be a big problem." Although the rent has risen from 700 yuan / mu to 1100 yuan / mu, Ma Fulong's pressure is not great. "when the market was good in the first few years, you could earn ten thousand yuan per mu of land, but now it's all right, and you can have five or six thousand yuan."

In Gaoqing County, the cost of land transfer is open and transparent. If you transfer land with individual farmers, although there is no lack of examples of 300 to 500 yuan per mu, as long as it is square and connected with land, it is basically between 1000 yuan and 1200 yuan per mu. In Shandong Province, the price is not high, and the transfer cost in some places is close to 2000 yuan.

Ask why, who decides the price?

The price of grain shows an obvious upward trend, the cost of land transfer increases, and the price is also related to the location.

Suoyi Fan Village, Changjia Town, surrounded by water on three sides, has a wetland area of more than 4000 mu. The unique natural conditions make it a "land of fish and rice" on the banks of the Yellow River. Liu Shuhai initiated the establishment of a professional cooperative for the cultivation of fruitful rice, which has basically covered most of the surrounding farmers and land.

"at the beginning of the transfer of land, there was no experience to follow. At that time, the price of temporary rental of industrial land was 1000 yuan per mu, and our transfer price was basically based on this. " Considering that rents may rise in the future, Liu Shuhai also reached a tacit understanding with the villagers. "refer to the rental price of more than 300 mu of cultivated land in Gaoqing County, and then float accordingly."
