Grain circulation is not only strictly regulated but also removed from the "fence".

Under the macro deployment of the national food security strategy, we should, on the one hand, do a solid job of "accumulating grain widely, well and well", and on the other hand, in view of the chronic diseases of the system and mechanism, we should not only constantly innovate in strengthening management, but also strengthen reform in removing fences and loosening the market.

When it comes to the season of grain purchase in the new season, the news that a farmer in Inner Mongolia has been sentenced to buy corn without a license set off waves in the grain market. While some public opinions sympathize with farmers' lack of knowledge of relevant policies and regulations such as "collecting grain certificates," they also ask whether rural grain vendors need administrative permission, hoping to further crack the administrative monopoly operation that exists in the grain system to varying degrees, so that grain circulation can be smoother.

The questioning of the administrative monopoly of the grain circulation system triggered by a specific grain trading case seems to be irrelevant and makes a mountain out of a molehill, which actually reflects the anxiety and expectation of the society to further deepen the reform of the grain circulation system.

On the issue of food circulation, people who are a little older have their own experiences and even unforgettable memories. The food stamps issued throughout the country from 1955 to 1995 were finally cancelled, indicating the complete end of the 40-year-old system of unified purchase and marketing of grain. From then to the present, the history of New China is almost a history of grain circulation reform and innovation. In this history of grain circulation, there are many different grain terms, such as unified purchase and marketing, contract ordering, guaranteed quantity and pricing, provincial governor responsibility system, four separate and one perfect, opening up marketing areas, protection of producing areas, marketization of grain purchase and sale, and so on. Each term represents a history of grain circulation and represents a train of thought and change in the reform of grain circulation, and the essence of these changes is the management and release of the grain circulation system, that is, constantly strengthening supervision and removing the "fence."

It is precisely because we persist in reform, innovation, scientific management and removal of barriers in the grain circulation system and mechanism that China's grain circulation pattern is constantly promoted and changed. Although there have been some ups and downs in the course of grain circulation reform, there has been no change in the development direction of ensuring national food security and reforming the grain circulation system and mechanism to better adapt to economic and social changes. Today's grain situation has not only maintained the "granary under the world", but also promoted fair competition.

However, with the tremendous changes in the economic and social situation at home and abroad, there are inverted grain prices at home and abroad, grain prices in main producing and selling areas, and prices of finished grain and raw grain in the market. as well as the high grain inventory, inactive management system and mechanism and other problems, it is more urgent to continue to deepen the reform of grain circulation. From the practice of grain circulation reform in recent years, while the grain system, as a practitioner and promoter, has made great achievements, there are still some deep-seated structural contradictions in the grain circulation system. "the decisive role of market allocation of grain resources has not been brought into full play" and other long-standing problems.

These deep-seated problems have not been fundamentally solved for a long time, which has brought many negative effects to grain management. For example, in terms of grain business access permits, although the state encourages market entities of various forms of ownership to engage in grain business activities, in specific operations, some conditions set openly and secretly are like glass doors that restrict other business entities; state-owned grain depots are the only one, grain buying and storage is the only one to collect profits, and there is a lack of initiative and initiative in de-inventory, which forms a more common phenomenon of rent-seeking and squeezing to other business entities. Setting conditions for grain brokers is too high or impractical, because many "small grain vendors" do not have the ability to meet the conditions, objectively resulting in the phenomenon of "purchasing grain without a license" like farmers in Inner Mongolia.

To show determination and courage, we need to do a solid job of "accumulating grain widely, well and well" under the macro deployment of the national food security strategy, and on the other hand, in view of the chronic diseases of the system and mechanism, we should constantly innovate in strengthening management. we should also step up reform efforts in removing fences and loosening the market, make full use of the current good situation in the grain market, adhere to the problem orientation, be determined to reform and innovate, and start with our own reform. Dare to hit yourself hard. Only in this way can we overcome any difficulties and solve new and old problems.
