Farmers respond to the revitalization of soybean subsidy of 340 yuan per mu under the Sino-US trade war.

Most of China's soybeans come from the United States, and most soybeans are imported from the United States. Under the influence of the Sino-US trade war, China will greatly increase the tax on American agricultural products, while China will have to adopt corresponding agricultural policies to increase the proportion of home-grown soybeans. According to the CCTV network: at present, there is a large area of spring sowing in Northeast China. The reporter learned from the Ministry of Agriculture and Village that this year, four provinces and regions in Northeast China and Huang-Huai-Hai region have seen a substantial increase in soybean planting area.

Recently, the reporter came to Hailun City, Heilongjiang Province, where he was busy with spring sowing. This year, Sun Anfu, a big grain grower, planted 1500 mu of land in his family with soybeans.

Sun Anfu said that before spring sowing last year, he did not know that the state would give soybean subsidies of 340 yuan per mu, which was 295 yuan higher than corn per mu. Later, he saw that soybean prices had been popular in the market, so he regretted planting less. This year he did not hesitate to aim at the policy. In Hailun City, known as the country's "hometown of soybeans," big growers all agreed to expand their soybeans this year.

Wang Baofeng, vice mayor of Hailun City: our soybean planting area this year has reached 2.6 million mu, an increase of 600000 mu over last year. The main reason for the increase in area is that the state has put forward a plan for the revitalization of soybeans, and farmers have seen the policy dividend; the second aspect is that the market price is good, and farmers feel that they have accounts and good benefits.

At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Village issued the implementation Plan of Soybean Revitalization Plan. This year, China will expand the soybean planting area in Northeast China, Huang-Huai-Hai and Southwest China. We will strive to reach 140 million mu of soybean area by 2020 and 150 million mu in 2022, of which the soybean area will increase by 10 million mu in 2019.

Heilongjiang Province, which has the largest soybean planting area in China, released favorable policy signals to farmers before spring ploughing and preparation this year.

According to the latest agricultural dispatching data of the Ministry of Agriculture and villages, as of May 10, the country has sown 840 million mu of all kinds of crops, completing more than 60% of the intended area. Among them, soybeans have been sown. The planting area of Heilongjiang and Inner Mongolia has increased significantly.
