Chapter 606: The New Position of Southern Soybeans
When Hu Qiyuan, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, approached Qi Zheng at the "sugarcane and soybean intercropping" promotion meeting in Guizhou Province.
The president of the Gui Provincial Sugar Industry Association praised loudly on the stage: "...... Jiagu Group has achieved remarkable results in the promotion and application of sugarcane and soybean intercropping, and is currently the enterprise with the highest level of sugarcane and soybean intercropping in China......"
Hu Qiyuan abruptly came to Qi Zheng and sat down, chuckling: "Jiagu can really do something anywhere!"
Hearing a somewhat familiar voice, Qi Zheng slowly turned his head to look at the person who came: "Director Hu, you are really everywhere, isn't it a coincidence?"
"Unfortunately, I'm here for you. But it looks like there's a good show to watch?"
As Hu Qiyuan's gaze looked over, it was the faces of the representatives of sugar companies in Gui Province.
Qi Zheng retracted his gaze and said lazily: "It's reluctant, but the body is very honest." ”
It was the first time Hu Qiyuan had heard this kind of statement, but he inexplicably felt that it was quite appropriate.
Last year, sugar prices continued to fall, and the pressure on domestic sugar companies also increased.
For sugar companies in Gui Province, the most nerve-wracking thing for them is not only the decline in sugar prices, but also the rising production costs of sugarcane raw materials.
At this time, the sugarcane base of Jiagu shines.
In the sugarcane base of Jiagu, through the intercropping of sugarcane and soybeans, an amazing "double harvest" has been achieved - sugarcane is suitable for planting crops with wide row spacing, and the row spacing on the general production is 0.8~1.3 meters, due to the slow growth of sugarcane seedlings, there are 3~4 months of open field time from the next planting to the closure period of spring planting cane, resulting in a large waste of light and heat resources, and the dwarf crop soybean can effectively use this condition.
Of course, the most wonderful thing is the Xintai Sugar No. 22 sugarcane variety and the excellent variety of "Nanzao soybean" planted by Jiagu, which form a resonance symbiosis on the biological wave frequency, and the yield is both "explosive"!
"I remember that the intercropping of sugarcane and soybeans in Jiagu has an average yield of 7 tons per mu of sugarcane and an average of 220 kilograms of soybeans per mu?"
Qi Zheng smiled: "That's the old data, after the application of special rhizobia, the average yield of intercropping soybeans per mu is close to 300 kilograms, and the yield per mu of sugarcane has also risen to 8 tons......"
This data has perfectly met the requirements of the construction of high-yield and high-sugar "double-high" sugar cane base in Guizhou Province, and achieved the goal of "tons of sugar fields".
At any time, a rapid increase in yields is an effective way to reduce costs, not to mention that intercropping soybeans can double the yield per acre.
Over the years, the yield of sugar cane per mu in Gui Province has been about 4~5 tons, if you want to improve the yield per mu, you must invest a lot in infrastructure construction, water access, how can there be Jiagu's "soybean cane intercropping" to increase production directly?
Similarly, the Gui provincial government has long targeted Jiagu.
As a province that undertakes the mission of ensuring the security of the national sugar supply, every year the sugarcane planting and sugar production indicators are assigned from the autonomous region level, and the relevant cities, counties and township governments have set up departments dedicated to the development of the sugar industry to complete the production tasks in strict accordance with the indicators.
Therefore, as soon as the news of Jiagu's domestically produced soybean revitalization plan confirmed, the party that most actively supported Jiagu was Gui Province, which was not a major soybean growing province before.
Hu Qiyuan asked: "How big is the area of sugarcane fields that Guizhou Province intends to promote soybean and cane intercropping this year?"
"The government's target is 10 million acres. Qi Zheng replied casually.
Hu Qiyuan calculated that if they could reach the average production level of the Jiagu base, it would mean that the soybean production in Gui province alone would be 3 million tons, and most of these are high-protein edible soybeans – which will undoubtedly establish a new position for soybean production in the south.
"It seems that the support of the local government is quite strong. Hu Qiyuan commented with some satisfaction.
Qi Zheng pouted and said: "'New varieties', 'high yield', as long as these two meet the standard, all kinds of government support will be very smooth, as for the real needs of processing enterprises, well, you like to use 'enterprise autonomy' to push off ......"
Under the current grain management mechanism, the government prefers to quantify "how many new varieties are launched in a year" and "whether the yield is high", such as domestic soybeans, before the integration of Jiagu, although new varieties continue to be introduced, and various indicators seem to be improving, but in terms of market performance, there is a situation of "quality degradation" as a whole.
Hu Qiyuan squinted at Qi Zheng a little speechlessly, didn't you shoot this map cannon at yourself?
Qi Zheng spread his hands and said: "Jiagu is different, don't forget that we also have our own soybean processing plant and sugar mill, so we are equal in quantity and quality." ”
Hu Qiyuan rubbed his eyebrows, and changed the topic funny and angry: "Aren't you afraid that other sugar companies will have opinions?"
"There are definitely opinions. Qi Zheng smiled indifferently and said: "Our goal, after all, is to reduce costs and improve comprehensive benefits, so as to enhance the international competitiveness of agricultural products." With this major premise, people with a long-term vision can press their own opinions and not mention them. ”
If you are an ordinary sugarcane farmer, you will be restricted by the sugar company in all aspects - sugarcane seeds, you must be recommended by the sugar factory, otherwise you will be listed as an eliminated variety; when you cut cane, you must wait for the sugar factory to issue a cane ticket before you can cut it, otherwise you don't know when you will come to pull your sugarcane; you finally send the cane to the sugar factory, and you have to wait until the sugar factory is free before slowly settling accounts with you......
But if the sugarcane farmers are organized by the Jiagu cooperative, most of the initiative is in the hands of Jiagu, and the sugar companies certainly have reason to express their dissatisfaction.
You must know that Jiagu's whole industry chain model is definitely the most advanced agricultural organization model in this era. Under this model, a series of processes from raw material procurement, to production organization, to product sales of affiliated enterprises may be supervised and guided by Jiagu Group, and it is easy to be controlled by Jiagu Group unknowingly.
It can be said that Qi Zheng's Jiagu may have only transformed the efficiency of raw material production, but implicitly gained the dominance of several industries.
In Europe and the United States, it is almost inevitable that Jiagu will encounter anti-monopoly investigations.
However, in China and other Asian countries, the group company itself is a variant of the consortium, and as long as it does not die and continues to grow, the monopoly is difficult to avoid.
However, again, the opinions of relevant enterprises are powerless to resist in the face of the comprehensive benefits of Jiagu and the determination of the government.
Sure enough, until the end of the "sugarcane and soybean intercropping" promotion meeting, the representatives of sugar companies in Gui Province turned black and blackened, but no one jumped out to express their opposition.
So far, Jiagu's soybean strategy in Gui Province has been determined!
Qi Zheng winked at Hu Qiyuan, and then asked: "By the way, you are here, don't say that you are chatting with me......"
Hu Qiyuan looked left and right, and said: "Originally, I was going to investigate the progress of Jiagu's soybean revitalization plan, and by the way, I would like to talk to you about the fallow pilot, but I just received a message, and it is estimated that you don't have the heart to take care of these for the time being." ”
Qi Zheng frowned, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "You mean, the news from the island country?"
Hu Qiyuan nodded: "Affected by the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, Jiagu's agricultural exports to Japan this year have been set up with the strictest technical barriers, are you afraid that you will be caught off guard?"
Qi Zheng stretched his brows, shook his head and smiled: "It has a little impact on us, but we are caught off guard, and we don't know who it is in the end?"
