What is the reason for the rise in agricultural prices but no increase in grain?

Abstract: with the rising price of agricultural materials and the rising cost of farming, how should farmers deal with it?

With the advance of the national supply-side reform, the field of agricultural materials will also usher in a great change. The country's environmental protection efforts are being intensified, and some small enterprises are forced to rectify, close down, and limit production. Although this has standardized the business environment of the industry, the direct impact on the market is the reduction of supply. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides belong to the means of agricultural production. Land cultivation is essential, and price increases are unstoppable.

The measures for the Operation and Management of pesticides, which were examined and adopted at the 6th meeting of the Ministry of Agriculture in 2017, have made strict norms and requirements for pesticide operators. If pesticide operators want to continue to operate pesticides, they must seriously study, standardize management, purchase equipment and other supporting facilities. This is a good thing in terms of long-term interests. But for now, this is also a large expenditure. I have asked the practitioners who have dealt with the pesticide business license that the total cost ranges from 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Pesticide operators are bound to increase this part of the cost in pesticide sales, which is also a reason for the increase in pesticide prices.

As early as February 17, 2015, the Ministry of Agriculture has the following "Zero growth Action Plan for Pesticide and Chemical Fertilizer use to 2020". It is getting closer and closer to this day. In 2018, the operating rate of urea was less than 60%, the price of chemical fertilizer raw materials soared, and ammonium chloride rose from 500 yuan / ton to more than 700,800. Urea has risen from more than 1400 to about 2000, and there are recent signs that urea will continue to rise. Potassium chloride rose to more than 2500, potassium sulfate 3000 can not get the goods. So the price of chemical fertilizer is also going up.

Why not raise the price of grain?

Some time ago, it was reported that the state has lowered the minimum protective purchase price of rice by 10 cents per jin. This year's summer grain, corn affected by high temperature, drought and other bad weather, the supply is reduced, corn prices should be good. Food is a top priority related to international people's livelihood and national security. There will certainly be no big ups and downs in prices.

In the face of rising prices of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, farmers' farming costs are rising in a straight line, food prices are not rising, and all kinds of extreme weather occur frequently. What should farmers do?

It is suggested that we should first choose and buy excellent seed pesticides, be sure to believe in science, and reduce the cost as much as possible. The second is to increase the source of income, plant differentiated products, and do not follow the trend. Other people grow wheat and corn. You can plant some vegetables, melons and fruits. The third is to buy agricultural insurance for their own crops to reduce the losses caused by natural disasters. The fourth is to go out to work or do some small business to earn some extra money when the farm is idle.

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