Chapter 156: The Support of Real Money (2/3)

Naturally, the soybeans from state-owned farms do not have the share of Jiagu.

Therefore, Tian Renli basically knows everything about the soybean planting area, varieties and costs of state-owned farms.

In addition to state-owned farms, the main dilemma faced by soybean production in China is that the scale of farmers' land is too small, and the degree of mechanization is low, and it is difficult to have economies of scale.

About half of the soybean crushing capacity purchased by Jiagu falls on the land of Northeast China, and it is in the best interest of Jiagu to purchase high-quality and low-cost soybeans from Northeast China.

Although the economic benefits of soybeans were not high in the past, due to climatic reasons and the need for dryland rotation, the sown area of soybeans in Hei Province has always ranked first in the country.

However, in recent years, the soybean planting area has declined, the output has stagnated, and the enthusiasm of farmers to grow beans has begun to appear.

Hailun City is famous as the hometown of high-quality soybeans, and in recent years, with the widening of the gap between soybean planting and other crops, the soybean planting area has also been shrinking year by year.

He Lei, president of the Hailun Golden Autumn Soybean Cooperative, planted 18 hectares of soybeans this year, because the wind and rain are good this year, and it is expected to harvest about 80,000 catties of soybeans, but he is not happy because of the bumper harvest of soybeans.

He made a calculation with Qi Zheng: "The price of the hawker's door-to-door purchase this year is about 14 yuan catty, but the cost of soybeans is about 1 yuan catty, and after removing the cost, in the end, only a few cents per catty of soybeans will be dropped." Although selling wet corn for a pound can only earn three taels of cents, it can't stand the high yield of corn, which is more than three times that of soybeans. After removing all the costs, one hectare of soybeans is left with more than 3,000 yuan, and corn is more than 7,000 yuan. ”

According to President He's words, last year was fine, and soybean prices were the highest in several years, but since the beginning of this year, international soybean prices have plummeted, and domestic soybean prices have also been greatly affected.

"When farmers farm, they have to look at the price of the previous year to decide what to plant the next year. ”

At the end of this year's calculations, President Ho feels that it is not worth growing soybeans for a year, and that it is foreseeable that the price of soybeans will decrease next year, and that the price of soybeans will be reduced next year, giving up soybeans and planting other crops has been included in the plan for next year. Look at 'Mao's line, Chinese, and net

There are not a few soybean farmers like President He who want to abandon soybean planting in Tohoku.

Soybeans and corn are the two main upland crops in the province, and they are always "competing" for limited arable land.

"If land and labor costs are not taken into account, farmers will earn more than 15 times more per mu of corn than soybeans in most years, so they naturally tend to choose to plant corn. ”

President He said that in the past two or three years, the benefits of planting soybeans have been good, and he chose to plant soybeans, but in the absence of any subsidies, the gap between soybeans and corn income is getting wider and wider, and he must consider expanding the corn planting area and reducing the soybean planting area.

In response to this situation, Qi Zheng asked, "If our company signs a purchase contract with you in advance and increases the purchase price according to the soybean grade, do you have the confidence to expand production?"

"Huh?" For a while, President He suspected that either his ears were wrong, or the young man's head in front of him was broken.

Generally speaking, soybean buyers have done everything possible to lower the purchase price, so how could they have taken the initiative to increase the purchase price?

But Qi Zheng's firm gaze told him that there was nothing wrong with it, that is, it was to raise the price to buy.

In this way, President He thought about it seriously. It's good to be able to get orders in advance and secure a higher-than-market price, but he's still lacking confidence.

Seeing his hesitation, Qi Zheng said politely, "President He, if you have any doubts, you can say it directly, we hope to ensure the supply of raw materials for the enterprise by supporting soybean farmers." If there is a problem, you can negotiate and solve it. ”

President He gritted his teeth and said bluntly, "To be honest, even with the support of your company's purchase price, we can only say that the situation will be better, but we are still not completely sure of the benefits." Because our cooperative has not enjoyed any support policies since its establishment, the operation is very difficult, and we want to buy large combine harvesters to expand production, but we have no funds and cannot get loans......"

Qi Zheng nodded as he listened, while thinking about countermeasures.

If we want to support domestic soybeans, the most important thing is to restore the confidence of soybean farmers.

To restore the confidence of soybean farmers, in addition to the need for a sustained and stable soybean subsidy policy, other supporting policies are undoubtedly needed.

Soybeans are land-intensive crops and are suitable for large-scale mechanized planting, and the level of mechanization should indeed be improved.

But you can't always take all the blame on Kaya, right?

Thinking about this, Qi Zheng had an idea.

......

As the main soybean producing area in China, Hei Province undoubtedly has great hopes for soybean planting.

But in the current economic situation, it is unrealistic to take the initiative to subsidize soybeans - the agricultural tax has not been abolished, how can there be money to feed back agriculture?

However, when Jiagu took the initiative to seek cooperation and tried to promote the construction of a large-scale soybean planting base in China and improve the degree of organization of the production and operation of the soybean industry, the government felt that it might as well give it a try.

In the end, Hailun City was responsible for contributing money, signing purchase contracts with soybean cooperatives, setting grades and quantities in advance, and pre-harvesting soybeans from farmers at a standard slightly higher than the market price......

In this way, Jiagu pocketed more than 2 million mu of soybeans in Hailun City in advance.

With such a big deal, many people in the industry think that Jiagu is crazy.

Tian Renli also found Qi Zheng for the first time and understood Qi Zheng's thoughts.

He persuaded bitterly, "Mr. Qi, I know you want to support domestic soybeans, but you don't make money like this?"

"Jiagu subsidizes the growers in disguise by raising the purchase price, and to put it bluntly, this is helping the government to assume the responsibility, and it is your cattle! But have you ever thought about how much Jiagu has lost this time in and out? Even if Jiagu has money now, how long can you hold on? Supporting domestic soybeans is not an overnight thing!"

Qi Zheng knew his concerns, and in fact Jiagu had the same doubts within him, so he patiently explained.

First of all, it is true that the purchase price is higher than the market value, but there are also requirements - Jiagu has standards for the quality of soybeans, and it is not that soybeans will be purchased at a high price. Of course, if it is produced according to the requirements of Jiagu, it is not difficult to meet the standards.

Moreover, the loss is actually not a loss.

"Although the purchase price of soybeans is higher than the market price, and even higher than the price of imported soybeans, from the perspective of the crusher, there will be a loss. But in terms of the whole Jiagu system, we will develop the oil market, and we have livestock farms, whether it is soybean oil or soybean meal, it can be digested internally. The most important thing is that we are confident that we can make money back through the oil market and livestock farming. ”

To put it bluntly, just by raising pigs, Jiagu can double his earnings. This is the power of controlling the entire industry chain.

"In fact, this is similar to the agricultural subsidy policy in the United States, although agriculture is loss-making, but by driving the upstream and downstream, on the whole, it is certainly not a loss. Qi Zheng said with a smile.

"The most important thing is that with the support of real money, farmers have obtained stable income and maintained confidence in soybean planting, supplemented by the continuous improvement of the quality and yield of domestic soybeans, and one day, the competitiveness of domestic soybeans can be compared with imported soybeans." ”

After hearing this, Tian Renli smacked his lips, and finally could only spit out a sentence, "What's special, a big family is good, and the loss outside the embankment is made up for inside the embankment!"

"You have more confidence in domestic soybeans than I do!"

The key to this support is to continuously improve the quality and yield of domestic soybeans and reduce costs, so that the competitiveness of domestic soybeans can be reflected. Otherwise, even if Jiagu does not lose money, it will not make much sense to the industry as a whole.

Qi Zheng spread his hands and smiled, of course, after all, he still has a killer weapon that he hasn't said......
