Present situation and Prospect of corn production and marketing in Shandong Province

Introduction: according to the survey, in recent years, the total annual output of corn in Shandong Province is 15 million tons to 16 million tons, 600000 tons to 1.5 million tons are transferred from other provinces every year, and the quantity of import and export is basically zero On the whole, the current situation of corn production and marketing is that there are more than a good year, less than a bad year and self-sufficiency After China's accession to the WTO, there will be no big in and out situation of Maize in Shandong Province in a short time The first reason is that in terms of comparative benefits, the FOB price of corn in the United States and Mexico was 740 to 770 yuan per ton last year, and the price of corn shipped to China was about 1100 to 1200 yuan per ton For our province, foreign corn has no price advantage Second, the quota of imported corn (4.5-7.2 million tons) after China's accession to the WTO has been allocated to the southern coastal provinces, and Shandong Province may not be allocated Third, the use of imported corn in the southern provinces has reduced the demand for corn in the three northeastern provinces, forcing them to reduce their area and reduce their total output, so that our province cannot rely on the transfer of corn from the three northeastern provinces Fourth, Shandong Province is a big province of animal husbandry and corn processing industry As a pillar of raw materials, the total supply of corn cannot be reduced Therefore, the development of Maize in Shandong Province should be based on maintaining total self-sufficiency, supplemented by appropriate adjustment (about 10%) At the same time, corn production and marketing should consider market demand According to all aspects of information feedback, in the future, we should take the special corn as the vanguard to enter the market For example, protein corn, high oil corn, high starch corn, silage corn and other special corn have higher benefits than ordinary corn In the world, high quality and pollution-free is the direction of corn production and development Shandong Province should take the opportunity of entering WTO, change the way of pursuing quantity growth in the past, and develop corn production in the direction of high quality and pollution-free.
