China imports a large number of agricultural products every year, and these two kinds of agricultural products import the largest amount.

China continues to import agricultural products from countries all over the world every year, a big reason for which is the demand of the domestic people. From the perspective of China's imported agricultural products, there are mainly two kinds of soybeans and pork. And other agricultural products are also imported, but the quantity is very small. Let's introduce it in detail.

soybean

The biggest problem why China imports American soybeans is that China's soybean production is too weak. In 2017, China's total soybean production was only 13 million tons, while domestic demand reached 110 million tons. On the other hand, the idea of planting enough soybeans to meet domestic demand has been analyzed before. In that case, our country will have to set aside nearly half of the arable land to produce soybeans, and at that time our country will face a food crisis. In other words, with the increasing demand for meat products in our country, we have to buy enough soybeans from other countries to produce enough feed.

Let's think about why we didn't have to import soybeans during the Cultural Revolution. Not at that time, China's soybean production was relatively large, but at that time, when it was difficult for our people to have enough food and clothing, there was not such a great demand for meat products. Naturally, domestic soybeans are enough to meet the demand.

Pork

As we have already introduced above, the problem is that with the improvement of our people's living standards, the demand for meat products is increasing, and the domestic aquaculture industry can not meet the needs of domestic meat products, so it is natural that foreign imports have become inevitable. And the price of agricultural products in the United States is indeed much cheaper than that in China, and even with tariffs, the price of pork in the United States is even cheaper than that in China.

For most businesses, such as Shuanghui, Jingong and other large meat processing enterprises, do not use cheap pork and choose domestic high-priced pork? Unless these operators are out of their minds. Naturally, even if the domestic people have no demand for this kind of pork, such meat processing enterprises also have a very urgent demand.

In addition to what is mentioned above, corn and millet are also imported, but these quantities are relatively small. For example, corn is mainly due to the cheap and high quality of imported corn, and the special processing needs of some corn processing enterprises. For example, wheat imports are mainly processed bread, which is also due to the general deviation in the quality of wheat in our country and the lack of high-quality and strong wheat.

Now the world has really achieved economic globalization. While China imports American agricultural films, the United States is also importing some of our agricultural products, such as bananas. It is precisely because of the convenience brought by economic globalization that our people have used Apple phones, while the United States has made use of our cheap labor to produce mobile phones, such as electronic products, and so is agricultural trade.
