Chapter 154: National Beans Rely on Shouting, Beautiful Beans Rely on Subsidies (3/3)

Wang Yuye led the team to integrate the crushing plant acquired by Jiagu, and Qi Zheng went to learn from Tian Renli of Jiusan Oil.

Tian Renli has always supported domestic soybeans, it is said that he is fighting for the right to speak for domestic soybeans, but no matter how strong a tough guy is, he can't withstand the cost. Helplessness again and again forced Tian Renli to break his belief in not using imported soybeans.

Speaking of this, Tian Renli's face was stinky.

It is the consensus in the industry that imported soybeans are cheaper.

But Tian Renli was very unconvinced.

"I have calculated that for every 1 million tons of soybeans imported, 1.3 million farmers in northeast China will leave soybean planting or even leave the land, or even lose their jobs. ”

Tian Renli excitedly took out four reports, "You see, these reports are from the United States, Brazil, Argentina and China, the report proves that the yield of soybeans in the United States is about 340 catties per mu, South America is about 360 catties to 380 catties, and Northeast China is about 400 catties." ”

"In terms of quality, soybeans in the western U.S. are about the same as those in Black Province, or even slightly lower. The oil content and protein content of soybeans in South America are much lower than those in the black provinces. ”

As for the cost, it costs about $200 per hectare in the United States and $165 in the Black Province.

So the question is, why is it said that imported soybeans are cheaper?

"It's very simple, because U.S. beans are subsidized by the U.S. government, and U.S. soybean farmers can dump at us at a price lower than cost without losing money. If China's domestic soybeans compete for prices, U.S. soybeans can continue to reduce prices until domestic soybeans go bankrupt. ”

What many people don't know is that, according to the data given by the United States Department of Agriculture, the net profit of U.S. soybean farmers has been negative for the past three years. And not just soybeans, many agricultural products in the United States are in a similar situation.

Loss-making business is certainly not done. But U.S. soybean farmers seem to be losing money year by year, but they are persevering, and the reason is because of government subsidies.

According to statistics, the USDA has an average total subsidy of $25 billion.

But what is the government's plan to prop up a negative profit industry with high subsidies?

The figure shows the driving effect of agriculture. The loss of agriculture was first exchanged for the growth of agricultural upstream industries such as agricultural real estate, agricultural material groups, agrochemical groups, and related industries such as power and water conservancy. These market players are completely dependent on the development of American agriculture to expand, and they are the winners of the market regardless of whether the profits of agricultural products are right or negative.

Secondly, after crushing the agriculture of other countries through low prices, it is also possible to make money by raising prices, right?

"In the final analysis, the commercial agriculture of Lao Mei is to bully us poor people by virtue of having money. If the subsidy is canceled, do you think it will kill him?" At this time, Tian Renli was like a middle-aged angry young man, and he was indignant.

Although he didn't know that there was a saying called "rich and capricious", Lao Mei's commercial agriculture was obviously this image in his eyes.

To put it simply, domestic soybeans rely on shouting - everyone is shouting to revitalize domestic soybeans, and then, there is no then; American soybeans rely on subsidies - without subsidies there will be no overseas expansion, and the hegemony of overseas expansion without grain will not be fragrant.

However, "This is a reality that can't be changed, isn't it?" Qi Zheng said.

Tian Renli pursed his lips, glanced at Qi Zheng, and muttered, "It's a pity that our country has been too neglectful of domestic soybeans, and there is no ...... any support."

When Qi Zheng heard this, he thought about it and said to Tian Renli, "Mr. Tian, let me tell you an interesting story." ”

"The Netherlands, you know, is a very unfriendly country for short people, but if you go to their museum, you will find an interesting fact, the beds in the museum are very narrow, and the lintels of the old buildings are so low that you need to bend down to get in. ”

This is because, just around the time of the First World War, the average height of the Dutch was between 165 and 17 meters. After World War II, with the economic development, food was abundant, especially the intake of large amounts of protein, which gave muscles and bones the motivation to grow. Today, the average height of men is 188 meters and the average height of women is 172 meters, making them the tallest country in the world. ”

"If you look at our country, today's children are obviously bigger and stronger, for no other reason, they are well nourished. ”

"Those who advocate reverse nationalism and say that yellows are physically inferior to whites are pure nonsense. I bet that if there were no special circumstances, a hundred years from now, as long as we have adequate nutrition and our genetic potential, China will also be a country full of superior people. ”

"Therefore, for the sake of the nutritional intake needs of the next generation, it is necessary to skip eating meat. And what do pigs and cattle rely on for feed? soybeans. ”

Hearing this, Tian Renli already knew what Qi Zheng was going to say.

Sure enough, "with the current eating habits of the Chinese people, the growth of the country's demand for meat is impossible to decrease." But our country wants to give priority to arable land for staple foods, and import soybeans. Qi Zheng said lightly.

What Qi Zheng did not say is that it is okay now, with annual soybean imports only about 20 million tons; 10 years later, the import volume has tripled; and 15 years later, nearly 100 million tons of soybeans will need to be imported every year.

We often say that "our country feeds the world's population with 7 of the world's land".

Note that this is only "feeding", not "feeding".

The state has a "red line of 1.8 billion mu" for cultivated land, which means that it is necessary to rely on so much land to ensure that there is enough staple food to eat. Meat, eggs, milk and aquatic products are the demand for "eating well", and it is not enough to meet the feed demand of the aquaculture industry in China.

Qi Zheng's meaning is obvious, importing so many soybeans, the quality and price advantage of foreign soybeans is only one factor, and the core reason is that China does not have so much arable land, and if you don't import soybeans, you have to import other grains.

To be honest, Tian Renli doesn't understand this truth, but he has supported domestic soybeans for so many years, and although he now has to use some imported soybeans because of the cost, his support for domestic soybeans has increased unabated.

So he was unhappy, and said with a straight face, "You said so much, don't you just want to say that Jiagu must use imported soybeans?"

Qi Zheng ignored his black face: "Imported soybeans are absolutely indispensable, and soybeans are the main cost of the soybean oil crushing industry, which is the key to whether soybean oil can be competitive." Isn't Mr. Tian's Jiusan oil also used imported soybeans for this reason?"

His face darkened even more from the stabbing wound.

If you look at it as a whole, the oil yield of U.S. soybeans is indeed high.

To exaggerate it, the oil yield of the seeds of soybeans in the United States is much higher than that of soybeans in China.

"But ......," Qi Zheng suddenly took a turn, "Jiagu must also support domestic soybeans at the same time." After all, this time it is considered to have completely offended the four major grain merchants who control 90% of the world's soybean trade, and if one of them is not good in the future, they will definitely not mind killing Jiagu, so let's prepare a few more back roads as soon as possible!"

Tian Renli blinked, looked at Qi Zheng with a painful look, and finally laughed gloatingly.
