In the last two weeks, from Beijing to Anyang, Henan, to Handan, Hebei, and then to Qinhuangdao, Jiang Wei, general manager of Beijing excellent seed and excellent planting Science and Technology Service Co., Ltd., was busy discussing contracts and signing orders. His high starch special corn Nongda 372 and food special starch special variety Xindanuo 001 are in full swing.

In the case of low price and sales volume of grain corn, the price of such special varieties is still strong and the market is still unobstructed. Why?

As introduced by Zhao Jiuran, director of the Maize Research Center of Beijing Academy of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, corn is mainly divided into grain corn, fresh corn and silage corn according to harvest and use. In order to adapt to the upgrading of the consumption structure, varieties for various uses are also being adjusted accordingly, and the varieties of general families are subdivided into specialties, which are "dedicated" to increase the efficiency of farmers and facilitate enterprises.

Grain corn:

High starch crops have high energy

At the moment of the structural adjustment of the planting industry, dealers do not know what to sell and farmers do not know what to sell. When he was worried, Wang Song, a farmer's grain planting cooperative in Anyang, Henan Province, heard from a friend that grain corn Xindanuo 001 was well planted in Hebei, Shandong and other Huang-Huai-Hai summer sowing areas, and the yield per mu could reach 650 kg to 700 kg. And it's order planting, so you don't have to worry about sales. "after summoning some large land leasing families to have a discussion with superior seed and superior planting, the big ones have expressed their hope to plant them." Wang Song said.

This year, Jiang Wei and the big growers ordered tens of thousands of mu of Xindanuo 001. Where are these tens of thousands of mu sold and how is the price? "Xindanuo 001 is a special corn variety that can be processed into high-end starch, and its starch content is about 74%." Jiang Wei told reporters, "because the high amylopectin contained in itself is the raw material of food-grade modified starch, the price of this corn variety is' firm 'and the purchase price per ton is about 200 yuan higher than that of ordinary corn."

Due to corn overcapacity, more and more deep processing enterprises such as corn starch are also caught in the plight of overcapacity. "but good specialty varieties are still in demand." Jiang Wei showed great confidence in this. "as the largest starch and derivatives company in China, Lihua starch is currently establishing a stable corn planting base for sustainable development and green food in China. We recommend high-yield, high-starch corn Nongda 372, which has a starch content of more than 75.5%."

Jiang Wei went to Qinhuangdao on this trip to discuss cooperation with Lihua starch. "the food and beverages produced by many domestic and foreign enterprises are inseparable from starch and derivatives. We can screen out varieties with a high proportion of starch for processing enterprises, increase the extraction rate of starch and then reduce production costs. We have a stable planting base to monitor the whole process from planting to harvest to improve the safety of food and beverage use." Jiang Wei said.

Zhao Jiuran has always positioned grain corn as a crop with high starch energy, so it seems that both Xindanuo 001 and Nongda 372 fit this characteristic.

Fresh corn:

Supply for sale all the year round

When it comes to fresh corn, we have to mention Jingkenuo 2000. "because 2000 of Jingkenuo have become rich, and more than a million people in the country." Zhao Jiuran appreciates this white waxy corn variety, which has been promoted in various planting areas throughout the country for 10 years, accounts for half of domestic fresh corn, and is the first white waxy corn variety to be approved abroad.

In 2003, Yu Shilong, a farmer from Yingshan Village, Yingerbu Town, Tonghua County, Jilin Province, was laid off from a pharmaceutical factory. In that year, he met Zhao Jiuran and planted a few mu of Jingkenuo 2000. To his surprise, this variety is of good quality and large in shape, and can produce 1.5 tons per mu when fresh food is purchased. At the same time, compared with field corn, fresh corn can be frozen in time after harvest, it can be supplied all the year round, and it can be sold at a price. As a result, Yu Shilong increased the planting area year by year in the following years, until it was planted to more than 10,000 mu in 2007, and continues until now. "at present, my base of more than 10,000 mu is recognized as the 'national demonstration safety base for the export of fresh corn', that is to say, all the fresh corn we grow meets the export standards, and 40% to 50% of the products are exported to South Korea." Yu Shilong said.

"because of Jingkenuo 2000, I began to engage in corn processing and set up my own business." Today's Yu Shilong is the general manager of Tonghua Owo Food Co., Ltd., it can be said that he is one of the largest beneficiaries of Jingkenuo 2000. "at present, our holdings of quick-frozen fresh corn in Northeast China should be the largest. The harvest season of fresh corn is from August to mid-October every year, and the quick-frozen processing machines are produced at full capacity. It reached its peak in early September, with a daily collection of more than 280 vehicles, each loaded with more than 1 ton, and a processing capacity of 30,000 bars. "

Yu Shilong and Yingshan Village, Yingerbu Town, Shantou Village, and Yimushu Village, three Yushu Town, are in the form of order acquisition. "every year, farmers rush to order." In order to alleviate the problem that it is difficult for villagers to sell grain, Yu Shilong also absorbed some new growers to plant fresh corn this year. "Farmers have a high enthusiasm for planting fresh corn, and we are now pulling more than 1200 farmers a year." compared with field corn, the income per mu is increased by 300 to 500 yuan. "

Silage corn:

The variety of social enterprise alliance is easy to promote.

Silage corn has just finished sowing, * * Wanbei Animal Husbandry Development Co., Ltd., Shawan County, Tacheng Prefecture, Uygur Autonomous region has planted another 5000 mu of Yu silage 23 this year. The company has 5000 beef cattle, in addition to its own 10, 000 mu silage corn planting base, but also signed purchase orders with cooperatives within 10 kilometers of the cattle farm. Zhao Hongjiang, general manager, said: "an mu of land can produce about 6 tons of silage corn, and the price is 30 cents per kilogram, so that farmers can earn 1800 yuan per mu of land, and the company provides farmers with seed, medicine, fertilizer, management, and harvest."

"this variety has been planted for three years, the growth period is suitable for us, and the protein content is also very high." Zhao Hongjiang said.

Yu silage 23 is a variety bred by Henan Dajingjiu. "the variety breeding of silage corn in China has reached the advanced level in the world." Ding Guangjiang, chairman of Henan Dajingjiu Industry Co., Ltd., believes that the lack of guarantee of sales is the crux of the difficulty in popularizing silage corn: "We should realize the integration of 'planting-raising-marketing' and adopt the combination of planting and breeding and order production."

On the evening of May 18, when the reporter interviewed Zhao Hongjiang, he was in front of the computer in his office preparing the materials for the inauguration ceremony of the Social Enterprise Alliance for the Development of Modern Animal Husbandry groups in Shawan County. "it will be established in 10 days, and enterprises and cooperatives are highly motivated."

"with the order, farmers can feel at ease when they grow silage corn. We already signed an order with farmers in February." Zhao Hongjiang said, "after the establishment of the alliance, there are corresponding enterprises in the breeding of improved plant varieties, the supply of forage, the sale of finished cattle, the deep processing of beef and mutton, and the building of product brands, and it is more secure for farmers to grow silage corn in the development of circular animal husbandry."
