Imported American corn is cheap across the ocean. What's the price of American corn?

With regard to the market price of corn in the United States, the price is basically between 1100 and 1400 yuan per ton, which is lower than that in China.

Scientific development of agriculture throughout the friends' market price of American corn, many friends think that the reason why the price of American corn is low is due to the strong agricultural subsidies in the United States and because its corn is genetically modified. Some netizens even think that banning the import of corn from the United States can raise the price of corn in our country, safeguard the interests of farmers, and promote the rapid development of agriculture in our country. Science to promote agriculture wants to say that this idea obviously does not realize the root of the problem, and it is obvious that even if implemented, such a solution will not be effective.

In previous articles, the issue of high food prices in China has been interpreted by promoting agriculture through science. The most important point is that the small-scale peasant economy left over from history has resulted in high food prices so far. Some friends may not understand this, so let's listen to science to promote agriculture.

The introduction of the household contract responsibility system has not only greatly aroused the enthusiasm of farmers, but also solved the problem of food and clothing of our people. Let our country from the state of semi-self-help grain, completely self-sufficient, and can fully maintain the situation of food security in our country. This is a great progress.

When the relations of production adapt to the productive forces to promote economic development, it can be said to be very appropriate under the circumstances at that time, but with the economic development today, the productive forces and the relations of production do not seem to match. Because the productive forces are constantly developing while the relations of production are still the way they used to be.

For example, in the days when cattle farmland was still in the past, each farmer could only plant a few mu of land, but now a person can cultivate dozens of mu and hundreds of mu of land under mechanization. Now, the labor cost is the highest, the implementation of mechanization, naturally the production cost of the latter is very low.

However, up to now, the vast number of rural agricultural cultivation in China is still the farming mode of several mu of land per household. This small-scale farming model is very difficult to implement mechanized farming, which is really incomparable to that of the United States.

Another major problem is that after being divided into the hands of farmers, the price of rented land in the hands of farmers is very high. In fact, this has a lot to do with the large population base of our country. For example, the number of people in the United States is already very small, and there is more land per capita. There are more than 2.2 million farmers in the United States, while 800 million farmers in China. It can be said that the American family owns a farm, but for China, it is obviously not realistic in terms of the current situation.

The high cost of land has also directly led to the current situation of high prices of agricultural products in our country. I have to sigh that if there are too many people, the price of high prices must be borne by our people! Whether you admit it or not, but this is the current situation of agricultural production in our country.

Here is science to promote agriculture, welcome to add attention to take you to grow knowledge.
