Domestic peanuts are in the production season, but a large number of imported uncoated peanuts are exported to Taiwan, half of the peanut butter sold in the market is imported, and 90% of the raw materials of peanut soup are not native peanuts. The Council of Agriculture has imposed tariff quota control, but the protection effect is limited. In the face of the low price of imported peanuts, the Huwei Farmers' Association operates in reverse, making high-quality peanuts higher than the market price and farmers' contracts for high-quality peanuts, reducing drugs and weight loss to improve the quality, relying on the industry through the chain, to contact large-scale access roads, so that 100 hectares of contract peanuts do not sell enough!

Huang Yuhui, director general of the Huwei Peasants' Association, says that the first step is to establish quality for any crop. "consumers must be protected before they will believe you, and only in this way can farmers cooperate."

Huwei Town Peasant Association Peanut products sell well (Photography / Lin Yijun) although the tariff quota avoids the flowering production period, the safeguard effect is limited.

Yunzhangjia and other areas are major peanut producing areas in China. The Agriculture and Food Administration predicts that the second phase of this year will cover an area of 12095 hectares and yield 31534 metric tons. Peanuts can be planted twice a year, and the harvest months are from June to July and from November to December every year.

The import volume of domestic shelled peanuts and processed peanuts has increased year by year. In order to protect domestic peanuts, the Agriculture and Food Administration stated that since China's accession to the WTO, peanuts are protected by tariff quotas. The regulations on import bidding of tariff quotas for next year have been completed, and the import period within the quota has been adjusted to January-May and August-October to avoid the domestic production period.

Ding Minggui, chairman of the National Peanut Association, said that although the adjusted import control period deliberately avoids the local flower production period, in fact, peanut consumption is most prosperous before the annual Lunar New year Festival (January and February). At this time, a large number of foreign peanuts are still imported, and processing plants will still choose imported peanuts at lower prices. He suggested that the release period of imported peanuts should be changed to February to September every year, so that domestic peanuts can be truly protected.

On the other hand, he also pointed out that imported peanut products flooded the market, 90% of peanut soup was not domestic raw materials, and 70% of peanut butter loved by Chinese people came from China and Vietnam, but the product was not clearly marked and the country of origin of the ingredients was not clearly indicated. As a result, it is difficult for consumers to identify and support local products. "it is necessary to fully disclose the raw material information of the products, so that consumers have the right to be known and choose. In order to make good quality domestic peanuts have room for survival. "

Regular inspection, insurance deed, production and sales resume area of tiger tail flower increased fourfold

In the face of low-price imported peanuts from abroad, how to enhance the value and market of domestic peanuts? Huang Yuhui, who has been with the Huwei Peasant Association for 33 years, became director-general three years ago. "to sell peanuts, it is necessary to improve the quality." Huang Yuhui points out that peanuts produced by agricultural methods in the past cannot pass the tests for pesticide residues and heavy metals, nor can they break into large-scale access roads.

In her first year in office, Huang Yuhui made an insured purchase at a price higher than the market price. "if the market price is 42 yuan per jin, then the farmers' association will buy it at 45 yuan per jin." Let farmers cooperate with weight loss and drug reduction, and move towards production and marketing experience. "in order to persuade farmers to change their habits, they have been giving lectures all the time." Improve the quality of peanuts and lay a stable foundation for entering the pathway.

At the same time, the lease area has been increased from 30 hectares to 80 hectares, this year to 150 hectares, and it is estimated that it will reach 230 hectares next year. The total area of peanuts produced by farmers' associations will be as high as 1 hectare, so that farmers will have more confidence to tie in with the transformation of peasant associations. All the farmers have production and marketing experience. After signing a contract with the peasant association, the peasant association regularly inspects the production situation in the field, and the network records the weight and date of all fertilizer and medicine. in addition, the inspection company that cooperates will regularly go to the field to inspect soil and water.
