January 28th.

Tianzhu.

Delhi.

Bodhidharma, who had been working on the ground for a few months, was in his office at this time.

He was listening to a briefing from the head of the Ministry of Agriculture.

"As of Jan. 28, a total of 22.43 million hectares of wheat had been sown across the country, down 22 percent from 28.13 million hectares in the same period last year," data on Friday showed. Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the head of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Bodhidharma's face was very solemn: "Didn't you already give an order to let the northwestern states guarantee the wheat planting area, why did it drop so much?" ”

"Gollum...... Sorry, because global food prices have plummeted, and now international wheat prices have fallen below $275 per tonne, and rice has also fallen below $266 per tonne. ”

Bodhidharma had a headache to the extreme.

After the end of the southwest monsoon from June to September last year, there were prolonged rains in Tianzhu in October and November, which improved soil moisture in the central and northern parts of the country, contributing to the increase in the acreage of wheat, the main winter crop.

Therefore, he ordered the northwestern states to increase the area of wheat cultivation in order to increase Tianzhu's total grain production and reduce the dependence on Homo sapiens food.

However, his wishful thinking was no match for the free market and the profit-seeking mentality of many farmers and farmers.

Now planting one acre of wheat, even if Tianzhu officials give a certain subsidy, but excluding chemical fertilizers, pesticides and labor costs, if according to the current international wheat quotation, there is only a profit of 11 US dollars per ton of wheat.

Even more frightening is that Homo sapiens has planned to lower the price of flour for February to 120 gold dollars per ton, equivalent to 240 US dollars per ton.

If at this price, it will be unprofitable to grow wheat, and you will have to pull it to make fodder, or eat it yourself.

Smallholder farmers may be able to eat themselves, but how can farmers with dozens of hectares of farmland let them eat themselves?

Of course, there is another way, that is, Tianzhu buys wheat at a high price at his own expense.

But Bodhidharma looked at the freshly released 22-year economic data, which was a series of deficits, as well as the 83.7 billion US dollars borrowed from Amerika and the 56.6 billion gold dollars of Homo sapiens, and he was only helpless on his face.

In the past six months, Homo sapiens' cheap food has frantically hit the entire Tianzhu market, and at the same time, Homo sapiens has raised the purchase price of various cash crops.

Many farmers directly convert their wheat, rice and corn fields to cash crops, such as tea, jute, turmeric, ginger, ginger, garlic, onions, black pepper, star anise, green onions and fruits.

Obviously, this is a deliberate guidance of Homo sapiens, including Tianzhu's rice, wheat, soybeans, sugarcane, peanuts and other things that can be used as staple foods in the scope of low-price dumping.

At the same time, it also buys designated cash crops at high prices.

In terms of wheat acreage alone, Tianzhu has lost more than 6 million hectares this year and is expected to reduce wheat production by 30 million tons this year.

If it is not stopped, it is estimated that the area sown with rice in June this year will also be greatly reduced.

Originally, the grain output was only 280 million tons (after excluding the Assam region), and now wheat and corn have been robbed of a large part of the planting area by cash crops, and once the planting area of rice is also reduced, then there is an estimated huge gap in total grain production this year.

Damn it! Bodhidharma's fists clenched, and he found that Tianzhu had now fallen into the rhythm of Homo sapiens.

In order to fill last year's food shortfall, it was necessary to import 3000~50 million tons of grain, and Tianzhu had no money to buy it, so it was necessary to develop the economy, which led them to open the market to Homo sapiens again.

As a result, Tianzhu has no way to use anti-dumping and tariff increases to protect the domestic grain industry.

Homo sapiens further took advantage of low grain prices and increased the purchase price of cash crops to discourage Tianzhu farmers and farmers from planting grain crops and increase the proportion of cash crops.

This year's grain output will lead to a decline in Tianzhu, and a huge food gap still exists.

No, the food deficit will even continue to widen.

But what can he do now? Rejection of Homo sapiens food?

No kidding, now that ABCD has been losing ground in the international grain market, even if the Council of the City on a Hill has increased its support, there is still no way to improve the difficulty of ABCD's operation.

After all, international food prices are there.

Homo sapiens is now engaged in high-yield seawater rice in Egypt, and is expected to complete the first phase of the transformation of the agricultural area in Egypt's Red Sea Province this year, planning to plant 20,000 square kilometers of seawater rice, with an annual output of 72 million tons.

Similarly, Homo sapiens will also increase production to a certain extent in the agricultural areas of Southeast Asia, Assam, Ceylon, and Mada Island.

Especially in the Assam region, due to the temporary truce agreement reached with Tianzhu, the rice output in the Assam region will reach 8000~90000000 tons this year.

According to this trend, the total grain output of Homo sapiens in 23 years will reach an unprecedented 920 million tons.

Even if the company is a big stomach, plus the consumption of feed, it consumes 600~700 kg of grain per capita, and more than 800 million people consume 520 million tons of food.

The remaining 400 million tons of grain will be poured into the international market.

Bodhidharma is not a fool, he knows that in such a situation, global food prices will definitely be depressed for a long time, and other food-exporting countries will be greatly less interested in growing food crops.

In fact, this is the strategy of the Americalica until now, they have been subsidizing the local food growing industry, then suppressing other food exporting countries, and finally using the ABCD to control the agriculture of other food producing countries.

Brazil is a case in point, where agriculture is largely dominated by the ABCD.

It's just that now ABCD has also met opponents.

Homo sapiens is different from ABCD's previous opponents, and in several encounters between the two sides, ABCD has suffered a loss.

The main reason for the fiasco of ABCD is that Homo sapiens has its own system, which has an advantage over ABCD in seeds, pesticides and fertilizers, agricultural machinery, labor costs, storage and transportation, agricultural land, and agricultural technology.

Now Homo sapiens is deliberately fighting a price war, which is to use the other way to return the other's body.

Once caught in the rhythm of Homo sapiens, the consequences are very serious.

This is the case with Tianzhu now.

Its domestic food production has dropped dramatically, and the population of Assam is still 1.345 billion, excluding 55 million, so such a large population needs to consume a lot of food.

After those farmers and farmers have tasted the sweetness of planting cash crops, they don't care about food security, and it is king to earn gold yuan, and gold yuan can buy everything.

The only way for Tianzhu to get rid of his dependence on Homo sapiens food is to find another alternative supplier and at the same time make good food reserves.

The problem is, it's hard to do both.

Because many compradors who cooperated with Homo sapiens opened a large number of supermarkets to help Homo sapiens dump food and industrial products.

Farmers and farmers can also get exclusive coupons for Homo sapiens, and go to these comprador supermarkets to buy cheap goods and grain.

As for the grain purchased by Tianzhu's official government, Homo sapiens dragged its feet and deliberately made excuses not to sell it, so that Tianzhu's official strategic reserve grain inventory has been at a low level.

Bodhidharma really wanted to stab those compradors and farmers in his heart, but when he thought of the number of these people and the already intertwined network of relationships, he suddenly hung his head again.

Obviously, the layout of Homo sapiens in Tianzhu has begun to bear fruit.

In the future, the local grain production in Tianzhu will only get smaller and smaller, and one day Bodhidharma will be disobedient, and the price of grain can be raised directly.
