Chapter 414: Food Standardization

In the eyes of the Kremlin's top brassips, Kazakhstan is a southern frontier full of mines, missile silos, providing food, cotton, wool, supplies.

And deliberately isolated, so that all levels of Kazakhstan can be called deformed, after decades of development, Kazakhstan does not even have a decent market, there is no channel for trading, everything that was previously produced is transported to Erros by rail, in short, handed over, and then arranged by Erros in a unified manner, and allocated materials.

Once it is separated from Erros, all the products of Kazakhstan will not even have sales channels.

It's completely a state of blackness.

With so much land and production capacity, but the economic and trade ties were cut off, and then affected by the ruble, in the first year after independence, it suffered from hyperinflation, and the inflation rate reached 3,000%, almost like waste paper.

At that time, Nazabayev was in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and he hurriedly made adjustments, but fortunately, the abolition of the ruble in time barely stabilized the situation.

So, Kazakhstan is currently in such a state.

It is indeed a domestic and foreign difficulty, the lack of domestic industrial chains, low productivity, and the face of complex foreign relations and market-oriented reforms, but there is no market, and there is no producer, it is just an empty word.

In short, all kinds of conditions are not perfect, and of course there are many obstacles.

In just a few minutes, these contents went through Fan Yang's mind.

And in the past few minutes, Farabi has been babbling in his ears, like an old man with a mother-in-law, telling a lot of problems he has encountered.

Oil exports have been blocked, currency issuance has been inadequate, and now it is all struggling to survive on external loans, and all supplies are imported, and every day, precious foreign exchange resources are being consumed.

It is obviously discussing foreign trade, but it directly touches on the general environment.

And Fan Yang finally spoke: "Listening to what you said so much, I probably understand what you mean, all in all, it's still a question of development direction, right?"

Farabi's eyes tilted and he didn't speak, but his eyes were already very clear, isn't this nonsense?

"In fact, you have said so much, oil, minerals, chemistry, science and technology, including how to establish a market, I don't understand, you know, I started as a food, and I am currently focusing on the research of non-staple foods, I want to discuss with you about food and people's livelihood, have you ever been to Australia?"

Farabi shook his head: "I've been to China three times, once to England, once to France, and I haven't been to Australia yet." ”

"I suggest you can take time to Australia to see, the current social development, and a few decades ago has been completely different, although I am a Chinese, I also admit that the current social pattern, science and technology, productive forces, are based on the West, so these planned economy countries, will seek transformation, want to learn from the advanced management experience of Western countries, development process, in order to find a model that can be used for reference, in short, is a process of imitation, but China's development mode, successful experience, may not be suitable for Kazakhstan." 。 ”

Farabi nodded slightly: in agreement, and continued to look at Fan Yang.

"China's rapid development is based on a completely self-sufficient, huge infrastructure, stable environment, to undertake the manufacturing transfer of developed countries, planned economy in the decades of training, these workers have a relatively good level of education, and these are not available in Kazakhstan. ”

"China's speed is beyond our reach. ”

"So, I think the way Australia is developing may be a bit more suitable for you. ”

"Oh?" I've seen so many experts and heard countless suggestions, and this is the first time Farabi has heard of this one.

In English, there is a special word to describe Australia, the lucky country, which means that Australia's climate, history, and way of life are relatively lucky, the land is vast, the climate is pleasant, the people do not need to work too hard, as long as the cattle and sheep can graze freely, and they can live a high standard of life by mining on the ground, and they have not been disturbed by the war of the two world wars. Agriculture, animal husbandry and mining are Australia's traditional industries, and they can earn a lot of income by exporting agricultural products and mineral resources, rich in sheep, cattle, wheat and sugar, and are also important producers and exporters of mineral resources in the world.

Farabi is a deputy cloth of a country, but under the system of the former Soviet Union, it has seriously derailed from the world, and it is only in the past two years that Farabi has frequently visited foreign countries, and he really doesn't know enough about Australia, and he doesn't speak, but only casts a grateful look and motions for Fan Yang to continue.

"As for Kazakhstan, if you think about it, after the end of the Cold War, your government is now actively carrying out de-Erosization, and Kazakhstan is not another Australia? Being in the hinterland of Eurasia, the world's largest landlocked country, and having some of the world's top high-quality pastures, what a natural advantage is this? The current embarrassment is temporary, or in a few years, it will become a paradise full of cattle and sheep, with herds of wives and concubines, and the people living a superior life. ”

Farabi is a Kazakh, and his nature makes him yearn for the pasture, and Fan Yang discussed this issue, which can be said to be in the right place, and a smile began to appear on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, we always believe that there will be such a day." ”

Whether it is Nazabayev or Farabi, as long as they are steppe people, thousands of years of nature make them calmly yearn for this kind of life.

Fan Yang said with a smile: "So, I think you don't have to bother, and you don't have to believe that those so-called experts, economists, entrepreneurs, and businessmen have given you a lot of ideas, I don't need to ask, and I also know that Lianyungang and the businessmen from Shanghai must have instigated a lot, so that you can vigorously develop light industry, open factories, develop plastics, fibers, and even develop the toy industry, clothing industry, and open financial industry, and even launch various financial products, right?"

Farabi's brows furrowed slightly, and Fan Yang cut the sore spot again.

was completely said by Fan Yang.

Farabi nodded tacitly, tacitly.

Fan Yang continued: "These cannot be said to be bad, to develop, but to distinguish the priorities, with the current economic strength of Kazakhstan, the overall environment, is not enough to carry out the large-scale construction of light industry and commercialization, the results are too slow, whether it is production technology, or the level of education can not keep up, in terms of commodities, your country can compete with China? Can compete with Germany? Therefore, the focus of development cannot be placed on this." ”

Farabi sat up straight: "Which direction should I put it?"

"Animal husbandry. Fan Yang said without hesitation: "We must vigorously develop animal husbandry, first of all, we must make full use of Kazakhstan's high-quality resources, do you admit my statement?"

"I fully admit it, but how should it be developed?" Farabi said, a little more sincere.

In 1980, Australia entered the ranks of developed countries, with a population of less than 20 million, how similar is Kazakhstan, in 1992, Australia's GDP ranked 14th in the world, and its per capita income was 50,000 US dollars, ranking fifth in the world, and Mongolia, how much did it rank? This lies in a problem of resource utilization, have you heard of such a word, FSD, food standardization, Western food standardization, Chinese Standardization, have you heard of it?"

Farabi shook his head honestly: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Fan Yang smiled, it's easy to do if you haven't heard of it.

"FSD, food standardization, is a huge conceptual system, by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, at the beginning of the Cold War, during the Marshall Plan, has been put forward and implemented, the former Soviet Union has a famous slogan, called to bullets, not butter, and Western countries are different, is to have both bread and butter, and how to achieve such a dual purpose? This mentions the concept of food standardization, you have been to England, France, you should know how simple their diet is, not every European family, can eat steak at once, at the beginning of the Cold War, meat, is still a luxury, sandwich, this concept, is put forward in this period, a small slice of bread, wrapped in butter, jam, can solve the problem of food and clothing, the family's food reserves are also mainly finished bread, supplemented by bulk flour, this, including Eros, Ukraine, and even all the former Soviet Union and all the Eastern European countries are the same。 ”

Farabi nodded and said, "I can understand the sandwich, but is it important?"

"Quite important. Fan Yang said with a serious expression: "But the former Su Lian only knew one thing, I didn't know the other, introduced the way to eat sandwiches, but did not vigorously develop the related industries behind it, but it was implemented for a period of time, and the follow-up funds and related construction did not keep up, and after a short period of time, it was abandoned.

Farabi shook his head regretfully, it is true that he can't buy it, and now Kazakhstan is completely based on coarse grains as the staple food, and if you want to make sandwich bread, you can only make it yourself in the family kitchen.

Therefore, the concept is proposed, but the implementation behind it is far from keeping up, the former Su Lian only knows one thing, does not know the other, only thinks that this is a kind of food, a delicacy, but did not realize at the beginning how huge the industrial chain is, and only Moscow, St. Petersburg, such a large metropolis, has a professional sandwich bread production factory, and still only supplies the privileged class, so what is the purpose of sandwiches? This is to affect the original livestock slaughter rate. ”

Farabi began to think deeply, a small slice of bread will affect the slaughter rate? Farabi, who was born in politics and entered the trading industry halfway, did not think about this problem.

Fan Yang said: "I'll give you a very simple example: If there is no bread to eat, will the herdsmen slaughter cattle and sheep? Just like in Mongolia, a herdsman family has to slaughter at least a dozen sheep a year, and those who are greedy and have better family conditions slaughter dozens of sheep a year, and they have to slaughter every year when guests come, and in animal husbandry, how many cattle and sheep will be slaughtered in the whole country at the end of the year? How many offspring will these cattle and sheep reproduce, and under the influence of the marginal effect, how many cattle and sheep will the whole country lose every year?"

"You have a point, but I still don't understand. ”

Fan Yang said with a smile: "If I tell you that Western countries, including Australia, at the beginning of the Cold War and the beginning of development, they all restricted the sale of edible salt and restricted the sale of various spices, especially black pepper, in order to limit the slaughter of cattle and sheep by herders to the greatest extent, would you believe it?"

Farabi didn't know anything about this and stopped talking.

Fan Yang continued: "The difference between Chinese and Western food cultures is not caused by nature, but the most important is human influence, the original FSD, food standardization, is a huge conceptual project, this project, is built on the maximum, optimize the use of resources, the extension, which contains a very complex formula, used to macro-control social supply and demand and generated, first of all, a sheep, a cow, how much economic value does it have? In addition to meat, fur, including internal organs, oil, can be refined, and it is completely wasted to be slaughtered by herdsmen, and all kinds of things that can make fertilizers and calcifications such as bones are discarded. ”

"There is also the second thing, control cattle and sheep, do not let the market trade freely, this is the most important, like Australia, a population of 20 million, everyone livestock cattle and sheep, once the productivity is improved, the price of meat products will be reduced, free market transactions, cattle and sheep will be sold cheaply, the harvest is not abundant, the harvest is not abundant, and these cattle and sheep, what is the most appropriate way to use them? Concentrate on factory slaughter, and then establish a complete cold chain transportation system, take them for export, and exchange them for foreign exchange. ”

Speaking of this, Fan Yang stopped talking.

When it comes to this, Farabi doesn't even understand it, so there is no need to communicate.

This is not Fan Yang's nonsense, but it is true.

At the beginning of the Cold War, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) did limit the availability of edible salt and black pepper, including cooking spices, to the market when it was promoting food standardization.

Cooking methods such as braised vegetables and brine in China were once blocked by the state.

In order to restrict cattle and sheep from slaughtering without permission, if you slaughter without seasoning, it is quite unpalatable, and the herdsmen naturally do not slaughter cattle and sheep.

On the other hand, other countries do not restrict the use of spices, such as India, including China, are large livestock husbandry, but in terms of meat products, animal husbandry, and exports, it is difficult to develop in a real sense, and it is impossible to establish advantages, and they are all consumed domestically and internally.

However, Western countries are different, restricting slaughter, and then establishing a rich and complete food supply system, establishing a huge bread factory, supplemented by jam, butter, cream and other ways of eating, all relying on factory production, the staple food, with industrialization to supply the people, like the farms and pastures in Western countries, are also bread, and sandwiches, steak is a luxury.

After that, there is a very important concept, called the global cold chain transportation system, after the standardization of food, Western countries, including South America, North America, have established a large number of cold storage, freezer storage, a large number of meat products exported.

Until 2018, it has been an advantageous industry in the world.

For example, Chinese beef can easily cost fifty or sixty-one catties, while imported beef, which is processed by freezing, is at least half lower.

This has also affected China's non-staple food industry, which is almost entirely dominated by imported meat.

The people of the United States do not eat pork, but it is the world's largest pork exporter.

The people of the United States eat beef all over the country, but it is still the world's largest exporter.
