March 22nd.

As Siamese rice plague spread around the world, rice-growing countries have suffered an unprecedented food crisis.

The world's total food production is about 2.5 billion tons, and for the world's total population of nearly 8 billion, the per capita grain is about 300 kilograms.

This figure seems to be enough to meet the needs of all mankind, but in fact, due to irrational production and distribution, there are still 2 billion people in the world who are in a state of varying degrees of hunger.

For example, the Samba country in South America uses a large amount of grain to produce alcoholic gasoline, and for example, Australia, Maple Leaf Country, Lucia and other large animal husbandry countries, grain feeding livestock is the norm.

In addition, there is the waste of the United States and the Xizhou Alliance, and their waste of food is unimaginable to many Chinese people.

The rice blast crisis is a catastrophic crisis for traditional rice-growing countries in Asia.

After all, the world's total rice production is about 500 million tons, accounting for about 20% of the world's total grain production.

Moreover, the main production areas of rice are concentrated in the Asian region, and this time it can be said that the G organization has made a precise attack and artificially created the Asian food crisis.

Affected by the rice plague crisis, international grain prices have soared wildly, of which rice has risen to 1,973 US dollars per ton, and is rushing all the way to the 2,000 US dollar mark.

Siam Bangkok.

At this time, Siam really wanted to cry without tears, because it was the first to publish a paper on rice blast, so countries around the world directly used the name of Siamese rice blast.

Huang Mingzhe had expected this kind of thing, so he prevented the Agricultural Research Institute from publishing the paper first, so as not to be stigmatized by people with ulterior motives.

Now what happened to Siam, and the ugly faces of other Southeast Asian countries demanding compensation from Siam, made the Agricultural Research Institute break out in a cold sweat, glad that it did not send a paper in a hurry, otherwise this black cauldron would fall from the sky.

Siam, which is backed by a black pot, is now not only a problem of being carried by a black pot, but a large-scale rice harvest is already a clear thing.

A suburb of Bangkok.

Huck, a farmer with thousands of acres of rice fields, looked at the yellowed rice, and could only say that he wanted to cry without tears at this time.

The new fungicide was replaced three times, but the effect was a drop in the bucket.

"Naihake, now Nanyang and Tianzhu, and even Huaguo have been affected by the rice plague, and it is estimated that this year's rice will not be planted." Another black, thin middle-aged man said helplessly.

Huck was bleeding from his heart.

Suddenly, three off-road vehicles drove up in the distance, and Huck and Heigan glanced at the sign on the car, which was the car of the Mengdushan Company.

The SUV stopped on the side of the two of them, after the window was lowered.

A local young man wearing sunglasses said to the two: "Okay, we have rice with very strong disease resistance, if you are interested, you can call our company, this is my business card." ”

Huck hesitated, but took the green business card.

These farmers all know what is going on with the Mondo Hill company's rice, but Siam is a country that prohibits the cultivation of genetically modified rice.

Now that the Mondo Hill Company dares to blatantly peddle genetically modified rice, it seems that the official attitude of Siam has softened, and the farmers can only wait and see what happens.

The buggy left Hack's farm.

"Nahak, what now?"

"Now we have to switch to something else." Huck said helplessly.

The thin black man scratched his head and asked, "But what can we plant in these paddy fields?"

Southeast Asia is located in a tropical rainforest climate, with high temperatures and rainfall throughout the year, and although there are dry and wet seasons, the terrain of those paddy fields is very low, and it is very easy to accumulate water.

Stagnant water has no effect on rice, but it is devastating for wheat, corn, and potatoes that cannot tolerate waterlogging.

Maybe sweet potatoes can be considered, but the large-scale planting of sweet potatoes can only choose to make sweet potato flour, and long-term consumption of sweet potatoes will cause edema, yellow muscles, and stunted growth.

Huck looked at the situation on the farm, and finally made up his mind and said, "Nahugo, let's change the farmland, and change the land with potatoes and corn to those with high ground, and plant sweet potatoes with low land!" ”

"That's all there is to it now." Hu Ge nodded helplessly.

There are always more solutions than difficulties, and rice cannot be grown, and some farmers and farmers in Southeast Asia have begun to find ways to save themselves by switching to other food crops.

However, the fact that paddy fields are not suitable for other food crops is actually a big problem, and the rainy season in Southeast Asia is coming, and the rainy season has a great impact on crops.

Once the rainstorm becomes a disaster, not to mention that the potatoes and corn can't be carried, even the rice may be seriously affected.

The farmers and farmers who have changed their crops are now even more anxious, and many of them are praying to God and Buddha, hoping that there will be no floods in this year's rainy season, otherwise they may not be able to withstand the continuous blows.

……

The glass greenhouses in Lingnan, Qiongzhou and Guizhou provinces have been spread out in a large area.

Among them, the eastern part of Guangdong has benefited from the cheap electricity from the Lianhuashan nuclear power plant, and these agricultural greenhouses have entered the production stage.

Qinglongtou Village in Shanmei City.

Hundreds of acres of glass greenhouses have been preliminarily completed, and the staff of Huanong Group are teaching agricultural workers to operate the equipment of the greenhouse.

The vast majority of the agricultural workers in charge of the greenhouses are middle-aged, and there are a few young people.

Yang Ye, who had just graduated from university, saw the development of his hometown and gave up the idea of going to Pengcheng to work and decided to join a rural cooperative.

"I've taught you three times, and we've tried them one by one." The technician of Huanong Group pointed to a ten-acre greenhouse and said.

Yang Ye, a college student, is naturally like a fish in water, he took notes, and learned the relevant greenhouse operation procedures and precautions through the official website of Huanong Group.

Soon he was very proficient in operations, such as ultraviolet and ozone combined sterilization, drip irrigation of different crops, spraying pesticides and fertilizers, how to adjust indoor light intensity, humidity, temperature, and carbon dioxide concentration detection.

Yang Ye, who is very quick to get started, was appointed by the director of the cooperative as the leader of the agricultural technology group, responsible for guiding the technical production of agricultural workers.

These greenhouses will be used as growing areas for vegetables and fruits, especially those leafy types, which are three-dimensional.

For example, cabbage, cabbage, lettuce, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach and other vegetables are generally planted in about five layers.

Cucumbers, loofahs, pumpkins, winter melons, bitter gourds, gourds, watermelons, cantaloupe, and muskmelons are generally planted in two to three layers.

By making full use of soilless cultivation and fluorescent lamp supplemental light, indoor three-dimensional planting is realized, and the limited space is maximized by planting density.

Of course, in various rural cooperatives in Lingnan, they also got a list of special plantings.

Since glass greenhouses can artificially create a tropical environment, some fruits that can only be grown in the tropics will be able to be grown in China.

The special planting obtained by Qinglongtou Village is durian, and hundreds of durian seedlings purchased from Qiongzhou have now entered the greenhouse for cultivation.

For those vegetables and fruits that could not be grown in China before, Huanong Group intends to complete the localization of these vegetables and fruits through the promotion of greenhouse agriculture.

First, this can enrich the people's food, and second, the economic benefits of these foreign fruits are good.

On the other hand, Huanong Group's national cold chain logistics system is also under construction.

Perfect cold chain logistics can effectively reduce the loss of food during transportation and further curb food waste.
