Northeast soybean encounters crisis

Introduction: Shi Fenglan has been growing soybeans since he was 13 years old He built a new house with soybeans and became a relative to his children What saddens her is that she lost money for the first time last year when she worked hard to grow soybeans According to Dr Huang Shouhong, Research Office of the State Council, the possible impact on agricultural products after China's accession to the WTO has come ahead of time Soybean, once a crop that brought rich income to farmers in Northeast China, is called "golden bean" and "small bank" Recently, in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Inner Mongolia and other major soybean producing areas, the author found that the price of soybean fell all the way and the loss of soybean was serious In 1996, the price of soybean was 2.2 yuan / kg, and in 2001, it dropped to 1.6 yuan / kg, a decrease of nearly 30% "Golden beans" became "worried beans" "Jindouzi" becomes "worried about Douzi" In fact, domestic soybeans have missed an excellent opportunity In the mid-1990s, the consumption of edible oil and meat, poultry, egg and milk increased rapidly, but the domestic soybean production did not keep up with it in time Since 1995, it has been hovering around 15 million tons However, there are many cheap soybeans in the international market, especially in the United States, Brazil and Argentina In 1996, the state adjusted its soybean trade policy The gap between supply and demand and trade policy made foreign soybeans enter the market Jixian County, located in the hinterland of Sanjiang Plain, Heilongjiang Province, was once known as the "hometown of soybean oil soaking in China" Liu Shulin, chairman of Yanglin group, witnessed the brilliance and decline of Northeast soybean I started by selling soybeans, he said Almost all of China is covered in my invoice I sell more than 100000 tons of them every year Since 1998, the situation has changed dramatically, and all the merchants from south to north have stopped coming Zhengzhou's customers went to Rizhao, Shandong Province to buy imported beans They said foreign beans were of good quality and low price The year before last, I sold more than 20000 tons of beans to take out, and last year I sold more than 10000 tons In those days, I could earn 20000 yuan for a carriage (60 tons for a carriage) of beans Now, I'm only a few hundred yuan after careful calculation If I can't grasp it well, I'll lose SWR said nothing about it It was 2001 when the authorities realized the seriousness of the problem What makes me feel the deepest is that the enthusiasm of farmers to grow beans is seriously bruised, and the planting area will be greatly reduced or even give up planting, "in the future, I will say nothing about this" sad bean " In the 291 farm under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang Provincial General Bureau of agricultural reclamation, the author met Zhang Chunsheng, a worker who planted 26 hectares of soybeans Due to the high yield and good quality, his soybeans have always been the first-hand products of soybean processing enterprises, but in the past two years, he has lost more than 50000 yuan due to the low price He worried that if he didn't want to use any more tricks, "northeast soybeans will be extinct." Friendship farm in Heilongjiang Province is the largest farm in China, with a total cultivated area of more than 1.3 million mu Soybean has always been its main crop Wang Guangshen, deputy director in charge of production of the farm, told reporters that there were 300000 mu of soybeans in the 1.35 million mu of arable land last year, and there were preferential policies for farmers to plant soybeans, such as protection price However, the plan issued this year will be reduced to 160000 mu, and the preferential policies will be cancelled because they can't afford it However, judging from the current farmers' mentality and the trend of soybean price, it's hard to protect this area SWR "new northeast phenomenon" The enthusiasm of farmers to grow soybeans is not high, and local grassroots cadres are also very anxious They said that enterprises can not use domestic soybeans, but our farmers can not do without them Northeast China is one of the three most fertile black soil zones in the world, which is very suitable for soybean growth Without soybeans, it's hard to have other crops to fill such a large planting space Coupled with long-term planting habits and variety resources, we have no reason to give up soybeans The perplexity and crisis of northeast agriculture is actually the perplexity of China's developing commodity agriculture Zhang Zengmin, President of Heilongjiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences and other experts point out that when the country is closed, the domestic market has no choice but to rely on northeast agriculture After China's accession to WTO, the domestic processing industry began to purchase raw materials in the world The problems of high cost and weak competition of agricultural products in Northeast China were exposed If the northeast industry did not adapt to the transition of market economy in the 1980s, the northeast agriculture is now experiencing a new northeast phenomenon SwR
