The "Jiadou No. 13" that was born out of thin air can imagine the shock to the relevant people.

Vigorously promoting it is also a decision that the country can easily make.

To this day, China's soybean policy is seen by many as a case of "strategic blunder" – at the beginning of China's accession to the WTO, soybeans were strategically abandoned as an unimportant cash crop and purchased from the international market. So far, if Jiagu's control over soybeans in the Far East is not counted, China's soybean dependence on foreign countries is approaching 80%.

Is this wrong?

That's right!

Contrary to what you see now, in the early stages of China's economic development, the demand for soybeans was different from what it is now, and it was unimaginable that the demand for soybeans is so great today.

Because soybeans have always been used as an oil crop for oil extraction in China in the early days, and eating oil is not a necessity in the first place, and people will not die if they don't eat oil for half a year, and there are many alternative crops for oilseeds, such as corn, such as peanuts, such as rapeseed, and there is no obvious problem in giving up soybeans.

It's just that with the development of the times, some things have changed, and the policy shift is usually lagged, which has led to the amazing import volume of soybeans that we are seeing so far and everyone is caught off guard.

This change is that with the development of China's economy, China's dependence on soybeans has changed from oil to soybean meal!

This is very important, because the demand for fats and fats is actually very limited, and there are many alternatives. However, soybean meal, as the world's highest-quality, largest and most stable source of protein, is indeed indispensable for China, which is in the process of aquaculture industrialization.

The past is untraceable, but it can be called the "Jiadou No. 13" that can bring a "revolution" to the entire soybean industry, so that the relevant central ministries and commissions can see the hope of China to reverse this situation.

However, how to promote, this is a question.

Or do we let the researchers run from region to region as before, relying on the propaganda of the uneven agricultural departments in various places?

Or is it to promote seeds through middlemen, and then "raise the price once the basket is raised", and after the seeds change hands several times, the price soars to the farmers?

In addition, no matter how high the seed yield of "Jiadou 13" is, if farmers are not trained and taught fertilization and planting methods, it will be difficult to exert the high-yield strength of super soybeans.

If there is no comparison, this is not a big problem - which new variety is not coming this way?

But when the news of Qi Zheng's "attack on the black province in one word" came, the contrast was simply too tragic.

To this end, the NDRC convened a special meeting with the participation of relevant representatives and leaders of the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Commerce, and even the State Council.

At the meeting, the issue of whether to support Jiagu to lead the national promotion of "Jiadou No. 13" sparked a fierce debate.

Among them, Hu Qiyuan, deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission in charge of the Department of Agricultural Economics, is a staunch "pro-Jiagu faction".

He scanned the audience with a draft in his hand: "...... First of all, let's take a look at Jiagu, which has single-handedly cultivated 'Jiadou No. 13', for the future of China's soybean industry. First, they hope that the state will do a good job in planning the layout of soybean producing areas, and divide edible soybean areas and high-oil soybean areas in the spring soybean area of Northeast China, the summer soybean area of the Huanghuaihai River Basin, and the spring and summer soybean area of the Yangtze River Basin to achieve specialized production; second, they will vigorously establish farmers' cooperatives to promote land circulation and implement large-scale soybean planting; third, they will ask the central government and the bank to give preference to soybean planting cooperatives in terms of policy, and at the same time encourage domestic soybean processors to give priority to the purchase of domestic soybean ......"

"Therefore, whether it is based on Jiagu's concept or Jiagu's organizational and mobilization capabilities, I suggest that Jiagu should lead the national promotion of 'Jiadou 13'. Hu Qiyuan's attitude was clear.

"You want to promote large-scale operations in the soybean industry at the same time. Someone below couldn't help but refute, and the voice of approval sounded at the same time - let Jiagu lead the national promotion of "Jiadou No. 13", which can basically be said to be the domestic soybean industry in the hands of Jiagu.

Whether it is the representative of that department at the scene, they are all proud of the heavens who can influence the legislation at the ministerial level. It is very difficult for such a group of pride to agree with someone collectively.

What's more, there is also a "factional debate" about the transformation of contemporary China's agriculture. happy

The controversy over large-scale agricultural operation, the deepening of agricultural capital, the controversy over the choice of agricultural technology and the controversy over the change of agricultural land system can be called the representative "four major controversies" of contemporary China's agricultural transformation.

The latter two are not mentioned for the time being, and the first two are vividly reflected in the promotion of "Jiadou No. 13".

Obviously, Jiagu believes that the smallholder management of domestic soybeans runs counter to the requirements of modern agriculture, and as soon as "Jiadou No. 13" comes out, domestic soybeans have the conditions for comprehensive development of large-scale planting.

Those who oppose it argue that the existence of a smallholder economy in China has both historical and practical legitimacy, and that China should support small-scale agricultural production rather than promote large-scale agriculture.

The views of the two factions have a corresponding basis for argumentation, and their protracted confrontation is difficult to solve, so Hu Qiyuan has been prepared for a long time.

He said eloquently: "Everyone should realize that China's agricultural efficiency is not high and its competitiveness is not strong, and a very important reason is that the scale of land for China's agricultural operation is too small, which restricts the improvement of agricultural efficiency. ”

"The vast majority of our agricultural products are now more expensive than the international market, such as grain, cotton, oil, sugar, meat, and milk, which are all products that ordinary people cannot live without. In many cases, it is not that we cannot produce it, but that the output is much higher than the cost of others, which gives international agricultural products the opportunity to enter our country and compresses the profit margins of our agricultural products. ”

"Judging from the current situation, among the domestic bulk agricultural products, the cost of corn, sugar, beef and mutton and other products are widening the gap with foreign countries, only the gap between rice, soybeans and milk is narrowing, why? The most intuitive reason is that these three are because of the participation of Jiagu to achieve a wide range of large-scale operations, thus pulling down the average production cost. ”

Someone below spoke: "You only think about the efficiency of agriculture and the competitiveness of agricultural products, and you don't think about where the peasants have a way out? Large-scale means forcibly letting the peasants leave the land, and they can't find better jobs or get better incomes, and that's going to be a big problem." Have you ever wondered what to do with farmers who rely on soybean farming?"

"According to Jiagu's plan, through the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries, it can create a new path to meet new needs. Hu Qiyuan said very naturally.

"Aren't you superstitious about Jiagu Capital?" someone sarcastically said.

In fact, whether or not we agree with the scale of agriculture, we will basically not deny the important role of agricultural capitalization in agricultural development.

The controversy over the deepening of agricultural capital is not whether agriculture needs capital deepening, but the question of "where does the capital come from" to enter agriculture.

To put it bluntly, they consider the self-owned capital of farmers through accumulation or borrowing, or the capital owned by government departments, such as subsidies, to be harmless. But when "industrial and commercial capital" like Jiagu goes to the countryside, the peasants are always in a disadvantaged position, and who knows when a collusion of interests will be formed?

Hu Qiyuan said that there was no pressure: "But you can't deny that after Jiagu Capital went to the countryside, it brought three positive effects: 'economies of scale', 'knowledge spillover effect' and 'social organization effect'. As a weak farmer, they have gained a lot of money through land transfer, and at the same time, they have been properly resettled by relying on training and professionalism, and agriculture has also achieved technological upgrading and ...... driven by Jiagu capital."

In the final analysis, Jiagu's actions and conspicuous achievements gave Hu Qiyuan the confidence to exert his strength.

It can be said that along the way of Jiagu's rapid advance, he also has many supporters in the central ministries and commissions. In particular, the "factions" that favor large-scale agricultural operations and industrial and commercial capital going to the countryside to transform agriculture are naturally the "Jiagu system."

This idea-based recognition also makes it easier for Jiagu to gain support from the government.

For example, right now.

Hu Qiyuan sincerely made a suggestion to the leaders of the oppressive array: "I admit that whether it is the scale of agriculture or the transfer of capital to the countryside, there are also many negative effects, but I think this can be resolved through corresponding measures. Because of this, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to promote 'Jiadou No. 13' to reorganize the domestic soybean industry, and use Jiagu as a big pilot, instead of choking on food ......."

As far as Hu Qiyuan's level of deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission is concerned, his leadership can almost be said in a word about today's topic.

Therefore, when he saw the leader nodding slightly, he couldn't help but be secretly happy.

He hopes to seize this opportunity to lay a solid foundation for himself and for China's soybean industry.

And Jiagu, no matter from any point of view, is the most reliable "founder".
