Government support is still important.

Whether it is the mandatory national standard for "products of origin of the region" that Jiagu intends to apply for for Xianming rice, or the recommended national standard for "geographical indication products", it is inseparable from the assistance of local governments.

What's more, local governments can issue a series of laws and regulations such as the "Measures for the Protection and Management of Logo Products", so that Jiagu can have more laws to follow in cracking down on infringement, counterfeiting and shoddy behaviors, which is the only way for agricultural enterprises to become bigger and stronger.

Whether it is the amazing taste of Xianming rice or the sales data fed back by the market, the municipal party committee attaches great importance to the development of Xianming rice.

And Jiagu also responded positively.

After several exchanges, the municipal party committee also agreed that in order to promote Xianming rice in the whole city, it is important to re-transform the existing rice industry chain.

This is based on the current predicament of the rice industry in Nankai City.

Although it is a provincial-level grain production base, Nankai City is basically dominated by local small workshop-type rice mills, which are not only small in scale, but also have a simple buying and selling relationship between rice mills and farmers, and each small enterprise is also fighting its own battle in the sales process.

Looking at the whole country, the situation is basically similar, and the rice industry is mixed and dumped with each other.

And only when the product quality can stand and the brand reputation can be loud, the market can be bigger and better.

Jiagu pointed out that in order to produce high-quality and pure Xianming rice, it is necessary to integrate all aspects of breeding, training, testing, processing and sales.

And these are not something that a small workshop-style processing plant can afford.

Therefore, the municipal party committee intends to promote the upgrading of the rice processing industry with administrative power, and Jiagu, as a leading enterprise, must undertake the task of market integration.

......

After some investigation, the situation is not very optimistic. See. Wool, Chinese net

Wang Yuye bluntly said: "Most of the grain enterprises in the city are simply low-level, rough processing, to put it mildly, they are throwing away a gold mine every day." ”

This is no joke.

Judging from the survey results, the losses and waste of peasant households in grain storage, storage, transportation, and processing are staggering.

Qi Zheng is not surprised, "In fact, I estimate that this phenomenon is widespread across the country. ”

If you think about it, after the grain is harvested, the storage facilities of the general peasant households for grain storage are in poor condition, the drying capacity is insufficient, coupled with the lack of technical guidance services, and there are insects, molds, rats and finches to make trouble, and the annual grain loss is incalculable.

"Unlike our Jiagu use special warehouses, loading and unloading machinery, and transportation tools, the current grain transportation mode is really backward. In the whole storage and transportation link, the estimated loss rate is as high as more than 5. Qi Zheng gave an example.

Not to mention the city, most of the domestic grain transportation adopts the traditional mode of grain transportation, that is, the basic use of sacks, plastic woven bags, unpacking and bulk storage in the storage link, and then turning into a packaging form in the transit and transportation links.

The losses caused by the many times of moving and transshipment of grain, the spilling in the process of loading and unloading, transportation, and the remnants of the packaging can be imagined.

Wang Yuye looked at the data in his hand and said helplessly, "Forget about transportation, I didn't expect the loss of processing to be too much." ”

Qi Zheng nodded, "Not everyone can be like us, not only can we introduce the most advanced processing production line, but Xianming rice does not need to be refined." ”

It is said that when an avalanche comes, no snowflake is innocent.

In many cases, behind the chaos of the industry, consumers are also the driving force.

In the past, rice was simply cleaned after processing and hulling, but now consumers are demanding "brightness", and most rice will be polished, or even polished many times.

The same amount of paddy, the more polished, the less finished rice will be produced – losing nutrients and significantly reducing yields.

As a result, the amount of rice processed and rice production has increased year after year, but the rice yield has been decreasing year by year.

In other words, the more rice produced, the greater the processing loss.

A simple calculation shows that 20 percent of rice is processed into special rice, for example, China loses about 8 billion catties of rice every year, which is equivalent to the annual output of nearly 10 million mu of rice fields and the annual ration of more than 20 million people.

Of course, there is also a high-end waste, which even Jiagu can't avoid.

"By-products of grain processing include bran, rice husks, rice bran, etc., which are rich in bioactive substances and nutrients, and have great potential for economic value. But even we in Jiagu use it as livestock feed, and we can't fully extract and utilize its nutrients. Qi Zheng smiled bitterly.

"In this regard, one has to admire the island nation. Their comprehensive utilization rate of rice bran is as high as 100, and the comprehensive utilization of raw bran, rice bran oil, rice bran protein and rice bran calcium phytate can simply beat our country. ”

This is the huge "treasury" that has been thrown away in vain.

Unfortunately, even if Qi Zheng realized this, he could not avoid it.

First, there is a lack of understanding, and second, the domestic utilization technology is still in its infancy, and it is not in a hurry.

Wang Yuye has nothing to say about this.

If you fall behind, you will be hanged.

Including transportation and processing, it is good to say, willing to invest and strengthen management, can always reduce the loss rate, but the comprehensive utilization of processing by-products technology is not up to standard, you have money is useless.

"It is still necessary to unite scientific research units to build a scientific and technological innovation chain around the industrial chain!" Wang Yuye finally sighed.

Qi Zheng couldn't agree more.

At present, it is good to say that the grain produced in China is barely enough to eat, and the import and export of grain is basically flat.

But since 09, the country has gone from barely enough to not enough to eat, and the gap in food consumption is as high as 13 million tons.

Since then, net imports of the three major staple grains have become normalized, and soybeans are notoriously heavily dependent on the international market.

In this case, "importing while wasting" is very glaring.

To solve the problem of national food security, on the one hand, it is necessary for the technological improvers represented by Academician Yuan to satisfy everyone's growing appetite with continuous increase in production, but on the other hand, it is also necessary to solve the problem of serious food waste.

In fact, this is not something that Jiagu can solve alone, or rather, it is not something that the state can completely solve.

But within the scope of his ability, do what he can do, and Qi Zheng feels that he is worthy of starting over.

......

At the end of 2002, the Nankai Municipal Government and Jiagu Agricultural Company signed a framework agreement on the joint planning, development, construction, operation and management of the "Tea Fragrant Rice" planting base and the "Xianming Rice" processing park project.

The total investment of the project is 800 million yuan.

According to the agreement, the rice varieties of Jiagu Agricultural Company are then sent to the contracted cooperatives for guided cultivation. In the autumn harvest season, Jiagu buys paddy from the contracted cooperatives.

At the same time, the Nankai Municipal Government and Jiagu Agricultural Company have jointly built the largest rice processing park in the province and a first-class rice logistics park in the country; the comprehensive processing of high-quality rice is centered in Nankai City and radiates to surrounding counties, with a total annual processing output of more than 2 million tons.

Xianming rice kicked off the prelude to great development.
