The cost of growing grain in Xia has always been high, taking rice as an example, Xia Guo's guaranteed purchase price of domestic rice is 3900 soft sister coins to 4000 soft sister coins per ton, which is equivalent to 1.95 soft sister coins to 2 soft sister coins a pound next month.

This kind of purchase price can ensure that the enterprises and farmers who grow grain in Xia Country will not lose money and can barely survive.

But what is the price of rice in the United States? 3,000 soft sister coins per ton, which is converted into about 1.5 soft sister coins a catty. Note that this is also the CIF price of rice in the United States, not the cost.

1.5 yuan/catty, the farms in the United States still have to earn!

Similarly, food prices in Southeast Asia are about the same level, because they are cheaper because of the short transport distances.

Therefore, Xia's grain is not competitive in the world, if according to the WTO's rules of the game, Xia's grain subsidies are canceled and the grain market is opened, Xia's grain base will be scattered by overseas products, and the soybeans that were opened at the beginning are this example, and the traditional soybean varieties of Xia's are almost extinct.

In the foreseeable future, with the continuous rise of land costs, labor costs, fertilizer costs and other costs in Xia country, the inverted correlation between Xia country's self-produced grain and overseas grain will be a long-term phenomenon.

And once some unforeseen factors occur, such as a reduction in grain production in Xia, or an influx of international grain into the Xia market like soybeans, the food system in Xia will be in danger of collapse.

It is quite terrible for grain to be in the hands of foreign capitalists, and one of the three axes of rice controlling the world is grain.

"Do you listen or not?"

"Don't listen!"

"If you don't listen, you'll be cut off!"

"Then I'd better listen......" wagging his tail.

The Food Research Institute sent the cooperation plan to Pangu Technology in detail, and Pangu Technology also knew what its historical mission would be in the next few years.

Most of the rural population does not grow grain, and when the cost of grain in Xia is still high, the task of producing grain falls to Pangu Technology.

The relevant departments will guide farmers and enterprises that no longer grow grain to plant other economic crops such as medicinal herbs and special fruits, so Pangu Technology does not have to worry about this.

Xiao Ming handed this matter to Gao Siqi and said, "What we have to do is to open up a test field, and if it is successful, other cities can copy it." ”

"Isn't Pangu Science and Technology Park?" replied Gao Si Qile, because all the staple foods, vegetables and fruits in Pangu Science Park have achieved self-sufficiency.

"There is also a need to cover more people, a wider area. Xiao Ming said: "Xiao Chu, project a map of Jiangcheng. ”

"Nice hosts. ”

A map of Jiangcheng is displayed, and the central and southeastern parts are a plain with rivers running through it, which provided the basis for the industrial development of Jiangcheng in the first place.

To the east and west are rolling hills, where the basic agriculture of Jiangcheng is still preserved.

Xiao Chu said: "Jiangcheng has a total permanent population of 7.08 million, of which 70% is urban and 30% is rural, but 1.5 million people go out to work in Jiangcheng's rural areas every year. The hollowing out of the countryside is particularly prominent in Jiangcheng. ”

Jiangcheng has never been a major grain-producing city, and the scattered grain cultivation of farmers on the edge of the plains and in the hilly areas cannot have any impact on the entire grain market.

Even so, arable land must be protected, which has caused that although there are not many people who grow grain, the yield is not high, but the supply of land is still tight, and then under the impetus of capital, the housing price in Jiangcheng has changed from seven or eight thousand one square meters two or three years ago to a minimum of 15,000 yuan in the blink of an eye. According to authoritative statistics, the average salary in Jiangcheng is only in the early 5,000s.

"Taking Jiangcheng as an experimental field?" Gao Siqi was eager to try, "Originally, we were going to transform the living environment of Jiangcheng, so let's start with Jiangcheng." ”

Xiao Ming then pointed to a corner of the map of Jiangcheng with a laser pointer, the old industrial area of Jiangcheng.

"This was once the glory of Jiangcheng, light and heavy machinery and equipment factories, auto parts factories, coal, oil refining and other factories created the most glorious Jiangcheng in the last century. ”

Gao Siqi has been in Jiangcheng since college, and knows this history too well, "At present, there are few manufacturers in the old industrial area that are still in operation, and the bankrupt is bankrupt and bankrupt, and the chicken feathers are all over the place." ”

Moreover, because of the poor infrastructure and poor environment in the old industrial area, the surrounding land prices are not high, and no real estate owners will build houses here, and no residents will want to live here.

The land in the old town of Jiangcheng can be sold for 16,000 square meters, and the price of land in the industrial zone is only three or four thousand square meters.

Xiao Ming said: "There are a large number of idle factories here. ”

Gao Siqi immediately understood what Xiao Ming meant, and said, "You mean to make use of this old industrial area?"

"Yes! Many bosses must want to sell these factories, and we have modified the factories, and one factory is a future grain factory. ”

According to Xiao Ming's consciousness, Xiao Chu encircled the entire old industrial area, which is 50 square kilometers, where there are countless idle factories and warehouses, and this will be the fertile land of Jiangcheng.

Xiao Ming said: "According to the relevant request of the Food Research Institute, this time we will mainly cultivate rice, wheat, corn, potatoes and soybeans, and the grain produced here is not only to meet the needs of Jiangcheng, but also to provide foreign aid and even export." ”

Gao Siqi rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do a big job, "When Jiangcheng was building the old industrial park, he definitely didn't expect that the park would have such a role. ”

Traditional agriculture requires land, modern agriculture needs factories, and it is undoubtedly the fastest and most cost-effective way to reuse waste factories.

The framework of the plant is in, and Gao Siqi only needs to organize people to vacate and clean it quickly, install production equipment and environmental equipment, and then the plant will soon be put into operation.

Gao Siqi looked at the map of the old industrial park and said: "The infrastructure here is actually relatively complete, but it is a bit messy, and if we take over, we may need to make some changes." However, according to the market price of food, the change is worth the money. ”

"One factory and one factory building, don't be too anxious, as long as our model area can be built successfully, there will be copy and paste of the model area all over the country, we only need to complete technical support for them. ”

"I'm going to do it right away, tidying up the old industrial area, and maybe a lot of people will be needed. ”

"Those unemployed workers, villagers who are idle at home can use it, they can become workers in the new industrial era, as for the matter of full intelligent mechanization, let's hold it off a little longer, we also have to consider the employment of most people in Jiangcheng." ”
