Introduction: according to the economic reference, in recent years, China's soybean market has changed from "golden bean" to "worried bean" Some experts think that if we don't take measures, it will be difficult to develop the soybean industry in this ancient soybean country A survey by the agricultural sector shows that China, once a net soybean exporter, has become a soybean importer in recent years Last year's annual import reached 10.4 million tons In the first three quarters of this year, 11.17 million tons had been imported, costing us $2.25 billion Industry insiders estimate that the annual import will not be less than 14 million tons this year, and some believe that the annual import will be as high as 17 million tons, which will directly push the annual output of soybean in China The excessive soybean import will not only consume a lot of foreign exchange, but also bring a serious blow to the farmers in the main soybean producing areas of our country Some people pointed out that the advantages and disadvantages of domestic soybeans and foreign soybeans should be carefully analyzed, and domestic soybeans still have its "bright spot" The highlight is that the consumption orientation of the world's soybeans is conducive to China, which produces non transgenic soybeans in a large amount and in a wide range In recent years, a large number of "foreign soybeans" pouring into China have come from the United States, Argentina and Brazil Last year, China imported almost 99% of the total soybeans from these three countries, and the statistical results in the first three quarters of this year are roughly the same Industry insiders pointed out that most of these "foreign soybeans" are genetically modified soybeans In today's world, there are widespread disputes on the safety of genetically modified soybeans The European Union, the world's largest soybean consumer market, basically prohibits the import of genetically modified soybeans; Japan, South Korea and other major soybean consumers are also very cautious about the import of genetically modified soybeans Therefore, in the international soybean market, the price of non transgenic soybean is 15% - 20% higher than that of transgenic soybean However, few people in China have realized this problem for a long time There is no safety management of genetically modified crops and no relevant detection means for a long time Therefore, in the import and export trade, the advantages of domestic soybeans are not prominent and they often suffer losses Experts believe that European Union and other soybean consuming countries have doubts and repels on genetically modified crops, which undoubtedly provides a huge potential market space for China's soybean export China has joined the WTO If the abundant non GMO soybean resources can be fully utilized, it will not only reverse the passive situation of soybean industry in China, but also bring great opportunities for the export of soybean In fact, this advantage has emerged In the first three quarters of this year, China's soybean exports increased by 1.1% compared with the same period of last year, and foreign exchange earnings increased by 14.2% compared with the same period of last year
