2013 was a tumultuous year for the global soybean industry.

First of all, the spread of the "super weed" amaranth vine from the United States to Brazil has threatened soybean production with natural "counter-killing", but fortunately Chinese companies have been pleasantly surprised by the solution.

Then there is China, the world's largest soybean consumer market, with a negative soybean import growth rate for the first time in more than a decade, and the momentum that boosted the price of soybeans has been frustrated, and the power of supermarkets has been fully demonstrated.

Then there is the protagonist of this change, the fame of "Oriental Magic Bean", announcing the beginning of the soybean "green revolution".

This is not over, the pan-genome map developed by the Chinese based on the "Oriental magic bean" has opened up a new era for soybean breeding in the future.

Those who are interested can find that behind this series of events, they are inseparable from the figure of China Jiagu.

As for every "revolution," there must be "sacrifices," and if we don't want to be cannon fodder in the torrent of the times, we can only actively embrace changes.

As a result, all kinds of invitations poured in.

"The European Danube Soybean Association invited our company to carry out academic exchanges and scientific and technological cooperation ......"

"Heh, Europeans are reserved, let Chen Jianzhang and their laboratory go to receive them. ”

"The American Soybean Association invited us to collaborate on a GMO improvement project based on 'Jiadou 13'......"

"Tsk, the Americans are quite successful, but we are not incapable of doing it ourselves, leaving them alone. ”

"The Brazilian Soybean Institute wants to be authorized by us......"

"I think it's okay to work together to build a soybean experimental field in Brazil first. ”

"The government of the Russian Far East took the initiative to approve the planting permit of 'Jiadou No. 13'......"

"Well, Lao Maozi is also a ghost, so let's change to a new breed in the Far East next year. ”

At the Jiagu headquarters, Wang Yuye and Qi Zheng "sang and harmonized", and the invitation or cooperation that was about to come to the door set the tone during the conversation.

There is no way, the soybean "green revolution" has arrived, but it is destined that not everyone can get a satisfactory answer, and Jiagu, who detonated this "revolution", can only start from its own interests.

"Dong Qi, Mr. Wang, you have to give priority to supporting the country!" Before anyone arrived, as soon as the secretariat announced, Deputy Director Hu of the National Development and Reform Commission rushed over.

"When did we stop supporting the country?" Qi Zhenghu glanced suspiciously at Deputy Director Hu, who was out of sight.

Deputy Director Hu took a breath before sneering: "Aren't I afraid that Jiagu will be forced to slow down the upgrading of the domestic soybean industry due to pressure?"

Qi Zheng said inexplicably: "Where is the pressure?"

"The United States wants to conduct an anti-dumping investigation on our soybean protein products, and your soybean industry alliance is not afraid?" said Deputy Director Hu in surprise.

Qi Zheng and Wang Yuye glanced at each other, suddenly.

The prospect of "Jiadou No. 13" is obvious, and the meaning of Jiagu is not concealed, and Lao Mei, the biggest beneficiary of international soybean trade, has to produce some moths.

After the ADM filed an allegation that the Chinese company dumped soy protein on the U.S. market at a low price, causing substantial harm to the relevant U.S. industry, the "anti-dumping" investigation was naturally initiated.

If the "anti-dumping" accusation is established, China's soybean protein products are likely to lose the largest export market, and what is even more terrifying is to cause a chain reaction, and if the EU and other relevant markets also launch "anti-dumping" investigations, it will be a bolt from the blue for the domestic soybean deep processing industry.

Deputy Director Hu is obviously afraid that the soybean industry alliance dominated by Jiagu will be frustrated, which will reduce Jiagu's enthusiasm for promoting "Jiadou No. 13".

You must know that this year's domestic soybean sowing area is more than 130 million mu, and the area of "Jiadou No. 13" is only half, and half of it is relatively easy to organize and promote.

The "Soybean Revitalization Plan" is not just about distributing the seeds of "Jiadou No. 13" to farmers, but also about taking this opportunity to build a high-quality soybean production base. In the areas where the promotion has not been completed, the planting area is scattered, or the planting conditions are not superior, and the organizational cost and difficulty are much higher than the previous half.

It is true that Jiagu can take his time and complete the plan in one or two or three or four years, and it will not have much impact on Jiagu.

But for Deputy Director Hu, it's completely different.

The domestic soybean revitalization plan can be said to be one of his political achievements. The shorter the time, the more dazzling his achievements became, and the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it was for him.

With such subtle thoughts, Qi Zheng and Wang Yuye are both human spirits, and they can get the taste of it when they turn their heads.

Qi Zheng smiled and said: "The anti-dumping investigation of the United States is really not too much pressure on our soybean industry alliance. Now, it's not three years ago. ”

Deputy Director Hu clearly heard the domineering from his relaxed tone.

This made Deputy Director Hu, who came to help Xingchong, stunned for a moment.

Three years ago, the anti-dumping investigation of soy protein products, which was also initiated by the EU, was ultimately unsuccessful, but the relevant industries were scared out of a cold sweat.

However, as Qi Zheng said, it is not three years ago.

Wang Yuye said with a smile: "In our soybean industry alliance, the soybean protein industry has three main development directions: food, food processing industry, nutrition and health products, and medicines. The anti-dumping investigation is in the field of food additives, that is, protein additives extracted from soybeans, which can safely increase the protein content of food, and the products under investigation include concentrated soybean protein with a soybean protein content of more than 65% and ......protein isolate with a soybean protein content of more than 90%.

"If it had been three years ago, there was overcapacity, there was vicious competition among soy protein exporters, and then there was a race to bargain, and the whole industry would have been in ruins when the storm hit. ”

"Aren't you afraid now?" Deputy Director Hu was still a little skeptical.

He knows that because of the cooperation of the soybean industry alliance, the development momentum of the domestic soybean deep processing industry is very strong, but he does not know much about the specific product structure of the industry.

Wang Yuye bowed his head and said: "I'm really not afraid now." In recent years, on the one hand, we have invested in the transformation and upgrading of some strong soybean protein processing enterprises, and strive to keep up with the world's high-end in terms of product quality and level; In other words, the 'internal strength' has already been practiced. ”

On the other side, Qi Zheng handed a copy of the information to Deputy Director Hu and explained: "Just this year, the industry alliance has achieved a breakthrough in the technology of hydrolysis of soybean protein by protease to prepare soybean peptides; supercritical fluid extraction technology has also been applied to the extraction, separation and purification of physiological active ingredients such as oligosaccharides, phospholipids and vitamin E in soybeans; and the domestic independent research and development of compound extractors, vacuum wall breakers, immobilized enzyme membrane reactors and other equipment have been successfully put into the market...... The development direction of soybean protein, the most promising health care products and drugs with the highest added value, has embarked on the road of independent innovation. ”

Deputy Director Hu took the information and read it with great interest.

After reading it, he held his forehead, and he was really worried in vain.

The soybean "green revolution" led by "Jiadou 13" has made the price of domestic soybeans lower than that of non-GMO soybeans in the United States......

Under various factors, it can be said that the domestic soybean protein industry, even if it is coupled with anti-dumping duties, can only be blocked for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Take soy protein isolate, for example, it has accounted for 62% of the world market this year, and in the U.S. market, it has already made its peers sit on pins and needles, and this anti-dumping is also pinning on its ability to win back market share.

Qi Zheng raised his chin slightly and said: "I have always believed that the agricultural industry can be protected, but not only by protection, and our agricultural policy system should also shift from production-oriented to competitiveness-oriented." ”

The current agricultural development path of Jiagu is similar to that of Japan and South Korea.

After Japan and South Korea reached a certain stage of industrialization and urbanization, small-scale agriculture no longer had a comparative advantage.

Their common response measures are twofold: one is to promote all-round cooperation among farmers and overcome the diseconomies of scale of single households through large-scale services provided by cooperatives in the pre-production and post-production links, and the other is to establish an agricultural support and protection policy with price support as the core, which implements both domestic price intervention and border protection.

In general, Japan and South Korea have done a good job with cooperatives, but they have gone a little too far with supporting protection.

Kaya learned his lesson.

Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, Jiagu will not seek "heavy protection" from national policies, but will tap the potential huge value of agriculture by extending the industrial chain, and build an industrial system with competitiveness as the core.

In a word, wolves are killed, not bred in captivity.

In the face of Qi Zheng's unusual self-confidence, Wang Yuye was not surprised, and Deputy Director Hu could only smile bitterly.

If everyone is Jiagu, it's simple.

It is simple to solve the problem of a certain link in the industrial chain, and to revitalize the entire industrial chain, even a layman should know how difficult it is.

In the face of anti-dumping in the largest export market, I can still say as usual - it's just a struggle, and it's probably Jiagu.

But the Jia Gu who came out is so convincing.

The convincing of ordinary people is only verbal praise, and the convincing of the big guy is a huge resource.

Appreciating Yu Qi Zheng's sharpness, and at the same time remembering some gossip, Deputy Director Hu laughed twice: "Okay, if you are sure, you can do it with confidence." As long as you follow the rules, the big guys above will support you. ”

Getting the hint, Qi Zheng and Wang Yuye glanced at each other, and there was surprise in their eyes that could not be concealed.

This year is the year of the change, and the most supportive of Jiagu's Wen Lao has retired.

Although it is said that with the size of Jiagu, no big guy will embarrass it for no reason, but it is always more confident to have the support of a close-knit big guy.

Although it can be opened, the support of the big guy makes Qi Zheng's waist stand even stronger.

Well, there's an urge to do it?
