A survey of "new northeast phenomenon"

Introduction: Food overstocking in Northeast China: ten years ago, the "northeast phenomenon" that northeast industry did not adapt to the market economy affected people's minds In the first year of China's accession to the WTO, on the vast black land that has made great contributions to China's food, there was a "new northeast phenomenon" that a large amount of food overstocked and gradually lost market share This is the first stumble of China's agriculture after China's accession to the WTO Not long ago, our reporter went to the northeast and other places to interview the causes and Countermeasures of the phenomenon Today, the first article in the series of "new northeast phenomenon" is launched Please pay attention to it With China's accession to the WTO, the northeast region, known as China's "granary" and "food market regulator", is now confronted with a large backlog of agricultural products The advantageous position of the northeast region in marketing the whole country and exporting a large number of agricultural products is in jeopardy, but what people see is that the export of agricultural products is blocked, even the Lianshan customs is difficult to enter People call it "the new northeast phenomenon" In the cold winter, two reporters came to Jilin, a major grain producing province Although it's a warm winter this year, the reporter in Jilin deeply felt the "chill" brought by the overstock of grain to the government, grain enterprises and farmers Jilin Province is located in the natural "golden corn belt" Despite the severe drought last year, the grain output still reached 19.5 million tons, 80% of which is corn Wang Shouchen, Deputy Secretary General of Jilin provincial Party committee and director of Jilin Agricultural Office, was not happy when he was interviewed by reporters He told reporters frankly that the more food is produced, the heavier the burden of the government and the greater the pressure Wang Shouchen said that in previous years, Jilin had to sell 10 million tons of corn to the south every year, and the export of corn was about 3 million tons, reaching 4 million tons at the highest, accounting for more than 50% of the total export of corn in China The annual closing season is the warm-up period for grain sales In the past years, southern merchants have flocked to Jilin to place orders and sign contracts with grain enterprises all over the country Peizhong, deputy mayor of Yushu City, Jilin Province, told reporters that at present, there are no businessmen on the door, so they have to go out to find it by themselves, but some familiar businessmen have said they want to wait and see Wang Shouchen said that at the same time, grain exports have also been blocked So far, there has not been a large amount of orders The 800000 tons of corn orders signed by Jilin grain group with foreign merchants last year have been delayed in delivery The total inventory of the province has reached more than 7 million tons It is understood that with the domestic and foreign market competition and the shrinking demand, the price of corn in Jilin market has fallen below 1000 yuan / ton, currently 980 yuan / ton The failure to sell grain has made the local finance of some large-scale counties even worse Yushu city is a large county in Jilin Province, with grain output of 2.25 million tons last year Pei Zhong, deputy mayor of Yushu City, said that Yushu's finance is a meal finance, with a total annual revenue of 240 million yuan He said his monthly salary as mayor was only 600 yuan Last year, Yushu city purchased 420000 tons of grain ordered by the state, and the remaining 610000 tons of new grain subsidies will be borne by the city's finance The total subsidy is 30 million yuan At present, Yushu's financial resources cannot be reached Compared with the government's anxieties, the days of state-owned grain enterprises are more stretched Yushu city is a large county in Jilin Province, with grain output of 2.25 million tons last year Xie Shiji, manager of Yushu grain storage company, sighed when he saw the reporter He told reporters that the state requires grain storage and collection enterprises to implement "three policies", namely, open purchase, sale at a favorable price and closed operation of funds They resolutely carried out the policy At present, the city's grain collection and storage work has been completed By the end of December 2001, the city's total grain inventory has reached 2.35 million tons, which is more than the total grain output of Yushu City in the whole year Among these 2.35 million tons of grain, including 890000 tons of grain before 1999, 430000 tons of grain in 2000 and 1.03 million tons of grain newly put into storage in 2001 Xie Shiji said that the total inventory of all grain depots of Yushu grain storage and collection company is 1.3 million tons, which has exceeded 1.05 million tons at present, so they have to rent places to store and put grain in the society In this way, every ton of grain costs 10 yuan every year That is to say, if the 1.05 million tons of grain are saved for one year, the company will spend more than 10 million yuan He said that they are unable to pay the money now, and people come to his office every day to ask for rent Pei Zhong, deputy mayor of Yushu City, said there are serious difficulties in the operation of grain enterprises At present, the capital source of Yushu grain collection and storage company is only three parts: first, the grain collection fee of 30 yuan per ton paid by the state; second, the subsidy of 50 yuan per ton ordered by the state finance and the subsidy of the local finance to the rest of the grain; third, the remaining money after the purchase loan of the Agricultural Development Bank of China is returned when the grain is sold at a favorable price Due to the lack of price autonomy of grain enterprises, grain sales at favorable prices can not be carried out at all, and local financial subsidies can not be put in place At present, the loan to the Agricultural Development Bank has reached 5 billion yuan, and the loan to the equipment has also reached more than 100 million yuan Pei Zhong said that due to the difficulties in business operation, the living standard of employees also declined The total number of employees of Yushu grain storage company and Grain Bureau is 12000, which is paid according to the normal wage level, and the total amount each year is about 50 million yuan But at present, the longest wage arrears have reached 8 months, and 60% of the employees have paid seasonal wages, that is, in addition to the two months in the peak season of grain purchase, they can only get 200 yuan of minimum living security fee per month at ordinary times The reporter found in the interview that, according to the principle of open purchase of grain by the state, farmers' grain has basically been sold out However, due to the implementation of the grain price system in line with international standards, many farmers have suffered a lot According to reports, in order to connect with the world food market, this year more stringent price standards will be implemented when purchasing grain The price of corn with water content greater than 23% will be lower than before, while the price of corn with low water content will be higher than before; when purchasing rice, the whole Jin rice rate will not be purchased below 55% Jin Xingrong, from Yuejia village, Qingshan Township, Yushu City, Jilin Province, said that due to the strict acquisition policy, their family planted 28000 Jin of grain last year and sold 9600 yuan, with a price of 0.34 yuan per Jin In the past, the price of the same kind of corn was more than 0.38 yuan, which brought him more than 1000 yuan of losses Zhang Wenguang, the group leader of the third group of Yuejia village, introduced that 327 people in their group planted 540000 Jin of corn last year, with an average price of 0.34 yuan and a total income of 184000 yuan According to the prices in previous years, the income was less than 20000 yuan At the same time, Zhang Wenguang told reporters that although the price of grain is low, we dare not leave the grain in our hands In the past, we would only suffer losses and the price of grain would only go down Not only corn, but also soybean and rice, which are iron agricultural products, have problems Experts estimate that 70% of the soybeans in the three northeastern provinces are now in the hands of farmers The three northeastern provinces are the most important production bases of commodity grain in China, with a total grain output of 66 billion kg, accounting for about 40% of the national total But in recent years, the export share of northeast commodity grain has dropped from 40% in the past to less than 20% This year is the first year of China's accession to the WTO At present, the impact on agriculture has begun to appear However, according to Wang Shouchen's analysis, greater pressure is still ahead With the expansion of opening to the outside world and the impact of foreign low-cost grain, the traditional circulation pattern of "North Grain transported to the South" will be broken, and it is likely that the phenomenon of "entering the south but not leaving the north" will appear Pei Zhong said that grain has a certain life span, and the process of overstocking is the process of devaluation More than a few years will become stale grain, which will bring huge losses to the country Jin Xingrong, a farmer, told reporters that they watch TV and newspapers every day to discuss foreign food, our agricultural policies and the price of food in the market There are anxious expressions on every face (author:) share
