Chapter 496: Legislating by Example?(2/2)
It has directly driven nearly 300,000 farmers to increase their income, and 500,000 households have been helped by radiation, and the cumulative dividends have exceeded 10 billion yuan by the end of 2010......
Professor Ma, who was born in the Development Research Center of the State Council, was taken aback by Jiagu's generous dividends!
As a well-known expert in rural economic research in China, Professor Ma is one of the members of the think tank of the national bigwig Wen Lao, and an old acquaintance of Qi Zheng.
"Is Jiagu's move to add convincing force to our research on this trip?" Professor Ma joked after the first round of research and accepted Qi Zheng's invitation to a small gathering.
Qi Zheng smiled: "It's just the right time." ”
The research led by Professor Ma was led by the Ministry of Agriculture and jointly carried out by the Development Research Center of the State Council and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
With the process of urbanization, the new urban-rural integration calls for "new land reform". This is the process of improving the per capita resources of China's agricultural population, and is the fundamental way for China's agriculture to fundamentally achieve large-scale operation and increase the output of agricultural labor units.
Professor Ma is a proponent of large-scale, intensive and efficient agricultural management: "Only by expanding the scale of farms above the bottom line of farm economic sustainability can we have a chance to alleviate a series of other problems in agriculture, otherwise any agricultural policy measures will actually only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause." ”
He glanced at Qi Zheng and said with admiration: "Jiagu can be said to have set a good example. ”
Qi Zhengwaner.
When it comes to the example of large-scale agricultural operation through land transfer, the rice industry of Jiagu Group can never be avoided in China.
Therefore, the "New Land Reform" policy demonstration team took Jiagu Group as a key research object, and then encountered the large dividend activities of Jiagu Agricultural Cooperative!
The largest business scope of Jiagu Agricultural Cooperative is undoubtedly rice cultivation. It can be seen from the dividends alone that the gap between Jiagu Group and other grain enterprises in the rice industry chain is no longer the difference between living well and living poorly, but the difference between living well and dying.
-- There are nearly 9,000 registered rice enterprises in the country, producing more than 100 million tons of rice and achieving sales revenue of more than 400 billion yuan, but except for Jiagu, the profit is less than 1 billion yuan, and the profit of rice enterprises is "as thin as a blade".
Professor Ma does not know the specific profits of Jiagu in the rice industry, but the profit figures are several times the total profits of other rice companies, which is certain.
Taking the Great Northern Wilderness, which ranks second in domestic rice production, as an example, the annual processing capacity of rice is 3 million tons, but the rice sales volume is less than 500,000 tons, and it is declining year by year - it is difficult to make rice, the Great Northern Wilderness is difficult, and it is also difficult for Arowana and Fulinmen.
The only thing that has survived is the Jiagu Group, which has achieved large-scale and intensive production in rice cultivation and has an annual rice output of more than 15 million tons.
Domestic rice, due to the state storage, and open purchase, resulting in high market prices, but the price of domestic rice can not rise, can not digest the rise in rice, "rice is strong and rice is weak" nightmare has been haunting all rice companies, including the Great Northern Wilderness.
"The competitiveness of China's rice comes from the source, how to solve the docking of farmers, cooperatives and processing enterprises, and ensure the standardization and scale of raw grain seedlings, transplanting, field management, harvesting and storage, in order to ultimately improve the competitiveness of rice processing enterprises. Qi Zheng believes that the research team can see it.
Sure enough, Professor Ma nodded and said, "For example, the agricultural cooperatives in Jiagu!"
He paused and added, "The Jiagu Agricultural Cooperative has done a pretty good job!"
By "quite good", I mean that the farm is economically sustainable.
During his research, Professor Ma saw that Jiagu's rice planting cooperatives in Jiangnan Province and Jiangyou Province suffered great losses due to floods.
Qi Zheng confirmed: "That's right, the basic benefit distribution mechanism of Jiagu Agricultural Cooperative is '55 shares', which ensures that the business results are reasonably distributed to farmers in the first distribution, so as to ensure that farmers get stable income." ”
"But there are still many risks in farming, so we have set up a risk fund to protect the interests of farmers. If a farmer suffers a major loss due to a natural disaster, the fund will be used to subsidize 70% of the disaster's loss......"
Well, speaking of which, Jiagu's venture fund expenditure this year made Wang Yuye, the group's big housekeeper, cry - this year's natural disasters are everywhere, and someone can only keep the big and let go of the small even if they are open, so the Jiagu Agricultural Cooperative has been damaged a lot due to the disaster.
But that's it. During his research, Professor Ma found that the relationship of mutual trust between cooperative farmers and Jiagu is quite strong – do not think that the formation of cooperatives can come with just mouths, and if the interests of farmers are not fully protected, it is a matter of minutes for cooperatives to exist in name only.
Another point that Professor Ma values for Jiagu Agricultural Cooperative is to reduce environmental risks and gain economies of scope.
If it weren't for personal research, who would have thought that Jiagu has reached the world's top standards in recycling agricultural and animal husbandry waste and developing ecological agriculture?
Soil testing and formula fertilization technology has been widely used in cooperatives, and large-scale organic fertilizer substitution action has been carried out, comprehensive prevention and control is green, the whole process of reduction and damage control, accurate monitoring and forecasting, and multiple measures are taken to promote the use of less pesticides......
"Well, the complete organic fertilizer coverage rate of Jiagu rice cultivation has reached 70%, and the amount of pesticides used has been reduced by more than 50%, and in general, the more the land will be planted, the more fertilized, and the healthier it will be...... Qi Zheng is very confident.
As a large agricultural enterprise that has single-handedly reduced the use of chemical fertilizers for rice planting by 15% and the use of pesticides for rice planting by 10% in the country, Jiagu's exploration of ecological agriculture is unmatched.
Professor Ma sighed, how else to say "the leader is strong, the industry is strong"?
The upstream of agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises is connected with the vast rural areas, and has become the most basic and fundamental undertaking of rural areas and agriculture, and has been linked to thousands of peasant households; its downstream has been linked to the market and the vast number of consumers, and it has a social responsibility that is different from that of enterprises in other industries.
Like Jiagu, through large-scale cooperation, it is equivalent to the formation of a social enterprise, and its radiation influence is large, which is rare and valuable for research.
-- Jiagu's agricultural cooperatives have significantly and effectively improved the efficiency of land resource allocation, and enabled farmers to participate more fully in the cake of economic development...... Isn't this the goal of the "new land reform"?
Professor Ma said thoughtfully: "If you can't get it right, the Jiagu Agricultural Cooperative is one of the models of the new land reform. ”
When Qi Zheng heard this, he blinked and said, "So, does this count as legislating by example?"
