Luo Jia got a large amount of agricultural technical information from Lan Yu, so he started another round of high-intensity learning, and at the same time handed over the summarized information to the Ministry of Agriculture under the company, and the researchers of the Ministry of Agriculture carried out scientific research and development.

Yes, Xingchen Technology has always had a Ministry of Agriculture, and the scale is quite large, even Xingchen University also has a major in agriculture and forestry, but they are still running step by step and have not made achievements, so the world doesn't know.

Besides, in the agricultural industry, you have to withstand loneliness.

Old man Yuan Longping is a famous person, but if you ask, what varieties he has researched, how much is the output, how much protein content, how much is the sales at home and abroad, and other more professional questions, I am afraid that there are not many people in the country who can answer it.

In the spirit of seeking truth from facts, modern times are an era of entertainment to death, and ordinary people do not understand science, and chasing celebrities and eyeball economy will be the norm for many years to come.

If you are careless, bewitched by the author of this book, and embark on the road of science, then you will be doomed to be lonely, unless you know how to enjoy solitude, please be cautious about science, from ancient times to the present, all the truths are warning us, if a person knows more, he will often become independent and withdrawn.

Anyway, Xingchen Technology has a Ministry of Agriculture, but it is a little different, for example, the Chemistry Department managed by Zhang Dongning, in fact, a considerable number of researchers are also concurrently engaged in the research of pesticides and fertilizers, and the Wen brothers' life science department, there are also some researchers, and they are also concurrently engaged in the research of agricultural genetic engineering.

In Xingchen Technology, where geniuses gather, it is difficult for you to limit a certain researcher to only engage in a specific job, and many people wear multiple hats, which is also the meaning of the existence of the interest group system, so that everyone can use their talents in other fields in addition to work.

Washington, D.C., North America.

A heated debate is underway, focusing on how to impose agricultural sanctions on China.

As we all know, since the beginning of the trade war, or the struggle for hegemony, China and the United States have made several shots to play their respective cards, and now North America can not find too good cards, so they started to play ideas in the field of agriculture, which shows how fierce the battle for hegemony is.

There are two options, one is sanctions in the conventional sense, prohibiting the continued sale of pesticides and seeds to Chinese customers.

Another option is agricultural dumping, in which the North American authorities will provide funds to subsidize agricultural products and dump them at low prices into the Chinese market, destroying China's own agricultural base.

The dumping program is also the favorite of the Huaxia comprador clique, and it doesn't matter whether it destroys the peasants' enthusiasm for farming, as long as they can make money, as far as the comprador clique is concerned, no matter which country's grain they eat, as long as they can eat enough.

The heated debate lasted for two full days, during which numerous experts took the stage to speak, lawmakers launched-for-tat attacks, and both sides tried to prove that their plans could bring more damage to China.

The sanctions faction believes that Huaxia can only meet its own food needs, but agricultural and sideline products, such as vegetable oil, meat, eggs and milk, most of this part of the food demand depends on imports, once the sanctions begin, Huaxia will fall into the embarrassing situation of having food to eat without meat, or the price of meat is so high that people scold their mothers, thus shaking the foundation of China.

The dumpers believe that the cut off will only bring temporary pain to China, forcing them to upgrade their agriculture in order to cope with the situation of self-sufficiency without external supply.

Under such circumstances, it is entirely possible to use low-priced agricultural products to impact the Chinese market, kill China's current small-scale peasant economy, and at the very least, make China rely heavily on agricultural products from abroad, so as to make it easier to strike a severe blow at China in the future.

The dumpers also cited the example of soybeans, which China banned from North America due to the trade war, but what happened during that time?

The lucky Brazilians stood up, they bought North American soybeans to eat themselves, and then sold Brazilian soybeans to Huaxia, back and forth, Huaxia still imported an astonishing amount of soybeans, but there was an extra Brazilian dealer in the middle, and a layer of skin was picked from the transaction.

In the end, it was the dumpers who won, and the North American authorities, together with the entire West, subsidized the agricultural institutions under their command with huge amounts, secretly drove these agriculture, and launched a fierce price war against China.

……

"How to dump agriculture?" Cao Yuan said with a puzzled face: "Soybeans are sold to us at a low price? Isn't this just right, we don't have enough land to grow soybeans anyway, so we can buy some of it first, and then import it after the completion of the East China Sea westward expansion project. ”

"The existence of agricultural products should be easy to control, right? Tax increases, quotas, if it doesn't work, let the customs conduct large-scale spot checks, and then return the agricultural products on the grounds that the quality is not up to standard, anyway, there are many ways, it depends on how to do it, I believe that the national team has the means. ”

Autumn is the harvest season, and as soon as September begins, the news of Western agricultural dumping has spread, so the Xingchen Science and Technology Administration has started a discussion on this.

Cao Yuan's idea also represents the thinking of the majority of the people in China, compared with the high-tech lifelines such as semiconductors and precision components, the people generally feel that the agricultural war is irrelevant, and if they can complete the red line of arable land, they can complete food self-sufficiency, and there will be no chaos.

Ay~

Luo Jia shook his head lightly, "Your idea is too naïve, of course, you can't be blamed for this, after all, agriculture is too unpopular, and there are not many people in China who really understand." ”

Frowning slightly, Luo Jia glanced at the partners around him, and said in a deep voice: "My country's agricultural foundation is probably much worse than everyone imagined, although my hometown is not in Shandong, but it is very close, and the living habits are somewhat similar. ”

"Shandong green onions, I think everyone should have heard of them, that thing is very magical, it can grow taller than adults, completely subverting the southern people's perception of green onions, plus the people of Shandong used to love to eat some raw green onions, so it was also ridiculed as a green onion province."

"However, do you know that such a famous Shandong green onion is actually made of imported seeds."

When Luo Jia finished saying this, everyone's faces changed greatly, the first half sounded like a joke, who doesn't know the green onion province, even the Shandong people themselves like to ridicule themselves, but the back is getting more and more wrong, Shandong green onions are actually an imported variety? This is a bit subversive of cognition, and after listening to it, my heart seems to be a little panicked.

Luo Jia paused for a moment and continued: "I didn't lie to you, among the seed suppliers of Shandong green onions, neon enterprises account for more than 90 percent, mainly from neon Takii and Musashino Group. ”

"Of course, there are domestic seeds, but the scientific and technological content is a lot worse, the market share is less than 10 percent, and now Neon is dumping us with the West, and the share of domestic green onion seeds in the future may not be able to keep even a few percent."

"If there is no market and no money can be made, domestic agricultural enterprises will have no incentive to engage in research and development, and if they do not engage in research and development, the gap will widen, and in the long run, a vicious circle will be formed, which will be gradually thrown off by Western agricultural enterprises."

There was silence in the conference room, and everyone did not know about agriculture, nor did they know that the competition faced by agriculture was far more fierce and cruel than the traditional field of science and technology.

If the people of the province knew that the green onions they were proud of were imported seeds, they would feel a little uncomfortable.

Luo Jia continued: "I take green onions as an example, in fact, our dependence on Western seeds is far more serious than we think. ”

"Broccoli is the favorite of fitness enthusiasts, and the broccoli species is mainly dominated by three companies, namely neon SAKATTA, North American monsanto, and Swiss Syngenta, that is, Syngenta, fortunately, Syngenta has been acquired by Sinochem, so in the field of broccoli, there is finally a domestic force."

"Next let's look at onions, this is also an important vegetable, not long ago the production of onions in India was reduced, which almost led to riots in the entire South Asian subcontinent, although we don't love onions so much, but if you make dishes like cumin lamb chops, you really can't do without it, at present, 100% of the onion seeds come from imports, North American nunhems, and neon TOKITA, they are equally divided."

"We not only import a large number of seeds from Europe, America and Japan every year, but also import from Thailand, Chaotian pepper is an important raw material for the manufacture of Lao Gan Ma, if there is no east-west in Thailand, and Thailand CP Group to provide seeds, we will not have Lao Gan Ma to eat, recently everyone said that Lao Gan Ma taste not as good as before, in fact, it is because Chia Chaotian pepper seeds are very expensive, in exchange for some cheap goods."

"In addition, carrot seeds are basically ruled by two neon companies, SAKATTA and MIKADO, known as the king of carrots, and Western agricultural groups can't beat it."

"The spinach seeds mainly come from neon TAKII and Syngenta, and the most regrettable thing is kohlrabi, which was originally a local variety in Zhejiang, but due to the poor research and development capabilities of domestic agricultural enterprises, it has been dominated by the neon Musashino group."

"There are too many examples of the same, cabbage seeds in China after years of efforts, finally and North America accounted for half, and tomato seeds need to be imported seventy percent, cabbage seeds are slightly better, China accounts for two-thirds, South Korea accounts for one-third."

When Luo Jia talked about this, everyone was dumbfounded, this is really not to say that I don't know, I was shocked when I said it, who would have thought that most of these vegetables we eat daily are imported varieties.

"Then there are no seeds for my country to use? That's a bit miserable, isn't it? Cao Yuan couldn't help but complain.

Luo Jia shrugged, "Of course not, cucumbers, bitter gourds, pumpkins and other seeds, basically my country is controlling, in general, in the field of vegetables and fruits, imported seeds account for about eighty percent, such as apples, you can know by listening to the name, red Fuji, of course, it is a neon seedling." ”

"In short, the problem of agriculture is actually much more complex and severe than everyone thinks."

"Our problem is not that there is one Yuan Longping, but that there is only one Yuan Longping, and if there is no old man, our agriculture will be even more miserable."
