China's corn management strategy should be adjusted in time after entering WTO

Introduction: On December 11, 2001, China formally joined the world trade organization, and promised to reduce the degree of agricultural trade protection and gradually open the domestic agricultural product market on the basis of complying with the relevant rules of WTO, which means that in the process of participating in the world agricultural trade liberalization, China's agricultural development will face risks and challenges, and agricultural products such as corn, which are intensive in cultivated land and low in comparative efficiency, will face risks and challenges Huge impact How to adjust the strategy timely and actively participate in the international competition under the premise of following the WTO rules has become an important issue to be solved First, promote industrial operation and promote structural adjustment Entering WTO brings not only pressure to the production of corn and other field crops, but also opportunities Developed countries have been adjusting their agricultural structure for decades While the number of farms and agricultural employees are decreasing, the automation, mechanization and scale of a single farm (family farm) are also expanding As the main corn producing area, the grain industry should seize the shortcut of developing order agriculture, actively guide the enterprises to extend to the production field, take the enterprises as the leader, take the farmers' family planting as the basis, take the specialized service as the link, build a community of sharing interests and risks, and effectively connect the corn before, during and after production in the form of "order + farmers" To form a chain of production, processing and marketing, and to integrate trade, industry and agriculture, so as to enhance the overall competitiveness of corn After China's accession to WTO, foreign investment will enter China more smoothly, which will bring advanced agricultural technology and management experience, and improve the level of agricultural management and production Close cooperation with international agricultural education, scientific research and technology exchanges will accelerate the improvement of China's agricultural science and technology level It is necessary to reduce the planting of common corn varieties, actively develop high-quality special-purpose corn varieties such as high oil, high protein and high starch, and promote the development of high-quality special-purpose corn varieties to large-scale production 2、 At present, China's control of corn trade is mainly through non-tariff means such as license and quota After entering WTO, the scope and effectiveness of these means will be weakened gradually It is imperative to open grain market, increase trade transparency and reduce non-tariff barriers However, China's accession to the WTO does not mean complete opening up For developing countries, domestic support policies for corn are not inconsistent with agricultural agreements As always, the state can continue to adopt corresponding financial support policies, subsidy policies, corn protection price policies, etc Of course, the implementation of the above policies also needs to be adjusted appropriately to meet the needs of the development of food trade liberalization After China's accession to the WTO, it is impossible for countries to give subsidies to their exports In a sense, subsidies cannot be added to the circulation field but to the production field As far as corn subsidies are concerned, they can take many forms First, through grain purchasers, subsidies will be provided to farmers This method can protect farmers' enthusiasm for grain production, but it is not conducive to grain sales and increases the financial burden, so it is relatively difficult to supervise the subsidy process The second is to supplement subsidies directly to farmers' production links through specialized banks (such as the State Agricultural Development Bank) and agricultural management institutions (agricultural departments at all levels) This kind of subsidy is more in line with WTO rules, but the operation process is complex, involving a wide range of fields, and has some disadvantages 3、 To adapt to international competition and build large enterprise groups According to the WTO commitments, China's corn import quota was 5.85 million tons in 2002, and will reach 7.2 million tons in 2004 In 2002, the proportion of state-owned enterprises was 68% and that of private enterprises was 32% By 2004, the proportion of private enterprises will rise to 40% In this sense alone, the grain management system will inevitably break the current situation that the state-owned enterprises almost monopolize the grain market The private enterprises will participate in the corn trade and compete with the state-owned grain enterprises in an equal capacity, which will form a new type of market operation subject 4、 Reduce the price of corn purchase and play the role of macro-control of market economy At present, the protection price of corn is on the high side in our country, which makes the output of corn increase continuously when the supply exceeds the demand It is difficult to play the basic role of optimizing resource allocation according to the law of value Therefore, reducing the protection price of corn purchase reasonably has become a primary countermeasure in the field of corn production and circulation in our country It can only play a role when the purchase price of corn drops sharply close to the cost, achieve the principle of low profit, and improve the competitiveness of domestic corn market price in the international market 5、 Strengthen the control and management of corn import After entering WTO, we should take a positive attitude and strengthen the control and management of corn import through technical means The foreign genetically modified corn shall be subject to labeling management, and all imported corn must be inspected by the quality inspection department 6、 Deepen the reform and improve the circulation of corn Give full play to social funds and strength to improve the circulation of corn The departments of other feed processing enterprises that meet the requirements of national policies are allowed to purchase corn, fully mobilize their production enthusiasm, conform to the development trend of survival of the fittest, invigorate the economy and survive in the fierce market for development 7、 We will vigorously invigorate the deep processing and transformation of grain and expand the demand for corn Vigorously develop animal husbandry, give full play to the advantages of the main corn producing areas, increase the production of meat, poultry, eggs, milk and other livestock and poultry products, change the sale of corn into the sale of livestock products, realize the transformation and value-added, while developing animal husbandry, we should expand the production range of corn deep processing, constantly improve the corn processing technology, achieve the fine processing, and improve the comprehensive economic benefits of corn (author:) share to
