Expanding soybean oilseed production has become a major political task that must be accomplished in 2022

Why Expand Soybeans?

Tang Renjian, director of the Central Agricultural Office and minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said: "Stabilizing soybeans means continuing to implement the soybean revitalization plan, striving to stabilize the area at more than 140 million mu, improve unit yield and quality, and ensure domestic self-sufficiency of edible soybeans such as soybean products

Behind the stabilization of soybeans is the issue of "improving China's soybean self-sufficiency rate"

Si Wei, Dean of the School of Economics and Management of China Agricultural University, told a reporter from China Business Daily that soybeans have a long history of being highly dependent on foreign countries

At present, soybeans in China are mainly used for two purposes - food and feed

Bian Tingting, an analyst at the Agricultural Products Division of Shanghai Ganglian, told a reporter from China Business Daily that according to research, soybean production in 2021-2022 will be the lowest in the past five years

How to calculate the "economic account" of soybean expansion

The price of domestic soybeans is high, but farmers' planting efficiency is not high, which makes the domestic soybean market more inclined to use imported soybeans

"In the two years of 2020 and 2021, the economic benefits of growing corn will be particularly good, and the income gap between soybeans and corn will be even more obvious

In addition, the expansion of soybean planting is also crucial to the stability of soybean market prices

"Increasing the income of farmers planting soybeans is the key to expanding

"Farmers have autonomy in the choice of planting varieties.

How to Expand Soybeans

Recently, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of National Planting Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan"), proposing that by 2025, the planting area of ​​soybean and corn strips will be 50 million mu (equivalent to 25 million mu of soybean planting area).

The expansion of soybean planting is conducive to increased production and stable domestic prices, but it will also affect the planting of corn

The plan also proposes to breed and popularize shade-tolerant and dense-resistant "double-resistant" varieties, lodging-resistant and crack-resistant "double-resistant" varieties, and high-yield, high-protein, high-oil "three-high" varieties

Under the background of expanding soybean planting, more agricultural enterprises have penetrated into the commercialization of genetically modified seed production of corn and soybean

In addition, during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the supply of important agricultural products such as grain will also usher in transformation and upgrading
