Chapter 320: The house leak happened to rain overnight
After reading this new news, Li Qingye connected Chen Jianxiong's communication.
About two minutes later, Chen Jianxiong appeared in the video screen.
"Good afternoon, boss!"
"Kenxiong, have you taken care of the affairs of Mada Island?"
Chen Jianxiong nodded: "With the support of the West Ceylon Ocean Branch, we have cleared out the various forces within Mada Island, and all tribes and armies on the island are currently under our control. ”
"Not bad! Thank you very much. ”
Chen Jianxiong modestly replied: "It is the full support and efforts of all my colleagues that we can take Mada Island." ”
Li Qingye waved his hand: "I read what you just reported, what do you think of the field support department?" ”
"The food crisis in Tianzhu is inevitable." Chen Jianxiong's expression was very serious.
Originally, Homo sapiens also planned to use some means to reduce Tianzhu's rice and wheat production, but they didn't expect that before Homo sapiens could make a move, they would make things themselves.
Two days ago, the Delhi intelligence station of the Department of Field Support received a piece of information, and after careful investigation, it was finally confirmed that it was indeed true.
The thing is that some pesticide manufacturers in Tianzhu use "domestic" raw materials due to the soaring international raw material prices and the depreciation of Tianzhu's currency.
If it is only the use of inferior raw materials, then it is forgotten, the key is that their raw materials are directly Ganges water, and then add pigments to blend.
Then it happened to encounter an outbreak of rice blast, and as a result, the fungicidal pesticides sprayed had no effect at all.
It wasn't until a large-scale outbreak of rice blast in various places that it turned out that there was a problem with pesticides, but it was too late.
According to information stolen by the Department of Field Support and analysis through satellite remote sensing, more than 43 percent of the 44 million hectares of rice planted in Tianzhu are expected to be affected by severe rice blast, and rice production is expected to be reduced by 20 percent this year.
What is 20%?
Maybe many people don't have a specific concept.
Based on last year's data, Tianzhu produced 120 million tons of rice last year, 20% of which is 24 million tons.
Due to the impact of the war in Kyiv and the soybean blight in North America the year before last, global food prices are still running at a high level, and Tianzhu has exported a total of 14.7 million tons of rice and 8.92 million tons of wheat this year.
In other words, at this time, Tianzhu's grain inventory was basically empty.
Now there is a loss of 24 million tons of rice in one fell swoop, which will not only affect exports, but also cause an internal food crisis.
To add insult to injury, the summer in Tianzhu continued to be hot, and the wheat producing areas of the Deccan Plateau suffered from long-term high temperature and drought, and there was also a considerable reduction in yield.
"According to our intelligence and the analysis of professionals from the Ministry of Agriculture, it is expected that Tianzhu's summer grain output will be reduced by about 45 million tons this year."
When Li Qingye heard this number, his expression was also very solemn.
Tianzhu has lost the Assam region this year, and the total grain output is about 220 million tons.
And the population of Tianzhu minus the 55 million of Assam is about 1.32 billion.
With a population of 1.32 billion and 220 million tons of grain, the per capita is only 166 kilograms, which is 67 kilograms less than the previous per capita of 233 kilograms.
Tianzhu is a free market model, and now it is encountering the international financial crisis.
Li Qingye saw the crisis at a glance.
In fact, not only Tianzhu, but also the two populous regions of Xiba and Dongba are also facing a severe food crisis at this time.
He quickly summoned Liu Zhifan, who is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, in a video call.
"Zhifan, how is our grain production this year?"
As soon as Liu Zhifan heard this question, he didn't have time to think about it, so he called up the database and replied: "This year...... Our grain production in all regions is okay, with 330 million tons of rice produced and 160 million tons of rice in strategic reserves. ”
Li Qingye is also looking at the data.
At present, a total of 930,000 square kilometers of arable land, or 1.395 billion mu, have been developed in Southeast Asia under the control of Homo sapiens.
Among them, 372 million mu of rice is planted, usually two seasons a year, with an average yield of about 880 kilograms per mu.
There are also bulk crops such as corn, wheat, soybeans, peanuts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava, canola, sugar cane, oil palm, and bananas.
Homo sapiens is also the world's largest producer of organic fertilizers and the world's second-largest producers of nitrogen, phosphate and potash fertilizers.
"At present, our total grain production is 970 million tons, and our strategic stocks are 340 million tons."
Hearing this data, Li Qingye was a little relieved.
After all, even if you add the 28 million people in Africa, the total population is only 648 million.
What's more, Homo sapiens has another killer feature, that is, the supporting lightless agricultural factories in the underground base cities around the country, if these production lines are at full capacity, the grain output can be increased several times.
Homo sapiens can feed all mankind, this is not a joke, but there is real confidence.
"Zhifan, you can discuss with the Strategic Reserve Office to start a batch of lightless agricultural factories and increase our strategic inventory to 500 million tons."
Liu Zhifan heard the words and asked: "Boss, is there something wrong in the world?" Has the recent financial crisis affected the agricultural sector? ”
"It's the information I just received, you can take a look at it first."
Li Qingye shared the intelligence of the Field Support Department.
Liu Zhifan, who was in a hurry to browse, took a cursory look, and his face began to become solemn, as one of the executives of Homo sapiens, he naturally knew that the company had a plan to snipe the agriculture of various countries.
But he didn't expect that Tianzhu people would blow themselves up.
However, he frowned again: "Boss, will Tianzhu go to buy Lucia's grain?" ”
"Don't be kidding, where is the money in Tianzhu? In the past, in order to restore armaments, they exported a large amount of grain, and spent 35 billion US dollars on armament procurement. Li Qingye waved his hand.
Liu Zhifan thought about it and reacted.
At this time, Tianzhu had no money at all, and Americaka's aid funds specifically required them to purchase weapons from the military-industrial complex.
Lucia's current food prices are not cheap, after all, due to the impact of the soybean disease in North America, the Far East has had to increase food purchases from other places on a large scale.
In the past, the grain procurement in the Far East was mainly Brazil, Argentina, Honsawady, Lucia, and the principality of Kiev.
Later, the company Homo sapiens suddenly appeared, and the Far East did not continue to purchase grain in Honsavady (mainly because there was no foreign exchange in gold dollars).
Coupled with the war in Kyiv, the grain in the Kyiv region has also been affected.
As a result, Lucia's grain, in the Far East, is becoming more and more of a proportion of grain imports, many of which are still long-term contracts.
Originally, Tianzhu and Lucia were still competitors in terms of grain.
Now if Tianzhu wants to import grain from Lucia, he will definitely be slaughtered severely.
Of course, Tianzhu can also consider importing from Homo sapiens, but with the unclear relationship between Homo sapiens and Assam, Tianzhu will most likely not choose Homo sapiens.
It is very likely that Xiba and Dongba will turn to Homo sapiens for help.
Therefore, Li Qingye began to prepare the company's management to avoid being in a hurry.
And the recent financial crisis, also in the frenzied harvest of America, is moving towards an increasingly fierce rhythm.
Homo sapiens and America and other powers are harvesting the whole world with their own powers.
It is at this critical moment of stormy times.
There is a sudden piece of information from the Baltic.
