"They can grow those seeds themselves, so why do they need seeds?"

Lin Quan was a little puzzled, and asked, Denise shook her head, "I don't know the specific situation, I'm actually very curious, how can they grow rice over there, this is the hinterland of the desert!"

Lin Quan hadn't thought of this question before, but when Denise said this at this time, he suddenly came back to his senses. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Isn't this a strange thing? The most scarce thing in desert areas is water, and the word "rice" is "water" in the front and "rice" in the back, which shows the importance of water.

This was a question, so Lin Quan's curiosity was hooked at once!

"It's a bit interesting, let's do it! I'll go over tomorrow to see what the situation is on their side, don't you say that I haven't reacted yet, they say that their rice yield is good, but I remember that the yield of rice per mu in Niger is only a few hundred catties, and the yield is not very high!"

China's rice production has always been the highest in the world, here is the total, China's total rice production is about 200 million tons, and the second largest rice country is India, with an annual output of about 165 million tons.

Many people don't know how good China's own rice is, China's rice is generally planted hybrid rice, which is called the product of the second green revolution, the domestic rice yield per mu can reach 500-600 kg per mu, like some super rice, its mu yield even reached 1000 kg per mu, of course, these are planted in the experimental field, and there has been no large-scale promotion, so this data does not have reference value, so it is good to take the average value for comparison.

On the other hand, India, India's location is located in the South Asian subcontinent, their whole country is affected by the tropical monsoon climate, India's rainfall has become very abundant, the temperature is higher, and the care is sufficient, so it is suitable for growing rice, and their rice planting area has reached 450 million hectares, which is much more than the domestic one, but India's rice yield is relatively bumpy, only 3600 kg/ha, almost 260 kg per mu.

This figure is far worse than that of China, and even compared with the world's average rice yield per mu, it is not dominant, and the main reason is that their rice varieties have suffered losses.

India's current food pressure is greater than China's, and their population growth rate is much faster than China's, so India's food pressure will be greater in the future, and China's population will stabilize in the future.

And Niger's agricultural level is not comparable to India, India at least because of the oil refining industry, so they have a relatively sufficient fertilizer, although in many places because the people do not use chemical fertilizers, or are not used to buying fertilizers, so their average grain production has been lowered, but at least they have fertilizers.

On the other hand, Niger has oil under their desert, but they have nothing before the oil is mined, and there is no petrochemical industry without oil, so Niger has no chemical fertilizer, which is refined and decomposed from oil, although there is no value of oil, but this thing is much more important than oil!

Without oil, human industry will be affected, but without fertilizer, people's stomachs will be affected, for example: the northern brothers of the first power in the universe!

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the eighties and nineties of the last century, their agriculture suddenly regressed for several decades, because after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was no one to support them, after the oil was gone, the machinery could not be operated, and the fertilizer was gone, so everyone could only march in misery......

Niger is not sanctioned by everyone like the North Stick, they can import oil and fertilizers, but because the country is too poor, they can't afford to import things, so they know that this can increase their food production, but there is no way to introduce it on a large scale, just like a person who is about to be poisoned to death, seeing that the antidote is in front of him, but he has no strength to reach it!

Niger either has no oil, or it is very difficult to extract, so everyone is reluctant to come, like those oil companies, most of the oil they sell in Niger is shipped from neighboring countries, such as Libya, compared to South Sudan!

And at this time, someone from China, who was stepping on the colorful auspicious clouds and wearing the five-colored holy clothes, came! Niger was jubilant up and down!

In 2008, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) launched an upstream and downstream integration project in the Agadem oilfield in southeastern Nigeria. In just three years, the Chinese have built a crude oil development base with an annual output of 1 million tons, a 462-kilometer oil pipeline and a modern refinery with an annual processing capacity of 1 million tons in the vast Sahara Desert. On November 28, 2011, the commissioning ceremony of the Agadem project was held in Zinder, the second largest city in Niger, officially marking Nigeria's entry into the ranks of oil producers. At that moment, Nigerian Minister of Energy Gado excitedly cheered: "This will be forever recorded in history! Long live Nepal-China cooperation!"

Not only the Minister of Energy of Niger is cheering, but their Minister of Agriculture is also cheering, last year, when the refinery of PetroChina began to put into production, Li Xiang Their status suddenly improved a lot, and after seeing them up and down, Niger couldn't wait to give them a warm hug, no matter where they went, they would become the most popular group!

Why is this happening?

Because this original development base with an annual output of one million tons can produce a large amount of fertilizer raw materials for Niger every year, and with these things, their agriculture will grow by leaps and bounds!

But they were actually happy too early, with oil, although it provides the raw materials for the synthesis and manufacture of fertilizers, but you must at least have the process and the funds to build fertilizer production plants, so that you can produce fertilizers.

Niger is currently negotiating with China to exchange the right to exploit this oil field for Chinese capital and technical support, so that Chinese companies can set up fertilizer production plants on the spot to help them produce fertilizer, and then they will sell the rights to the oil field for decades to China!

This deal is good for everyone, but there is so much to discuss, so the two sides are continuing to negotiate, and it seems that in the short term, farmers in Niger want to use fertilizer, and the hope is not very great.
