Introduction: after China's accession to the WTO, according to the international trade rules stipulated by the WTO, other agricultural products will encounter the same situation as soybeans After a five-year buffer period, the market will be fully liberalized In order to prevent the main grain commodities of our country from being impacted excessively by the international market and ensure the national food security, it is necessary to make an in-depth analysis of the impact of the international market on the domestic market after the opening of the soybean market in our country It is assumed that the population directly involved in soybean production is about 30 million based on the per capita 3 mu land of rural population in China If the scale of agricultural production in China is expanded to 10 mu land per capita, the population engaged in soybean production will be reduced by 20 million These people will be transferred from the countryside, or engaged in other agricultural products processing industry, or enter township enterprises If the separation is completed within 5 years, 4 million people need to be separated every year This is a direct consequence of the impact on the soybean industry On the other hand, according to the import of 10 million tons of soybeans, there is a need for domestic processing plants with an annual capacity of 10000 tons of soybeans, another 1.5 million tons of refined oil and sub loading plants, and 8.5 million tons of feed processing plants with soybean meal digestion capacity Because of the development of feed processing industry, it will inevitably promote the development of feeding industry, so as to promote the development of meat, poultry and egg food processing industry, wholesale and distribution, retail business and so on In any case, there are still some practical countermeasures: 1 Reduce costs and participate in competition The competition with the international market is inevitable, and the focus of competition is price Under the premise of ensuring certain quality, the only way to reduce the price is to reduce the cost Of course, intensive cultivation is one of the means to reduce costs 2 Expand production scale At present, the per capita cultivated land area in China's rural areas is relatively small, and there is basically no large-scale production and no scale benefit In the next few years, it is imperative to expand the scale of agricultural production Although the scale of agricultural production in Northeast China is higher than the national average, it still needs to be further expanded Only by forming a certain scale of agricultural production and completely changing the management mode of small-scale farmers, can Agricultural Mechanization be realized and the conditions for competition with the international market be met 3 Improved varieties Improving varieties is an important means to increase yield At present, the average yield per mu of soybean in China is only over 100 kg As the planting area is impossible to be further expanded, the only way to improve the level of per unit yield is to make an article One of the most effective methods is to use good varieties 4 Forming an industrial chain Deepening and refining the soybean industry is one of the most effective means to improve the economic benefits of the main production areas, from production to processing, to the production of final consumer goods, to increase the added value of products This method has been very mature in foreign countries Its advantage lies in the complementary interests formed in each link of production and processing, because from production to final consumption, it is impossible for every link to achieve profit, but the final overall profit is inevitable In this industrial chain, the larger the scale, the more sufficient the complementary conditions and the higher the benefit 5 Seeking new countermeasures and solutions After China's accession to the WTO, according to the international rules, it will be five years before the quota system is finally cancelled to realize the free trade of import and export of commodities In the five-year buffer period, we must constantly explore new countermeasures and outlets according to the changes of the international economic environment.
