Super Dimension Technology Era

When the country was secretly accumulating strength and preparing to defeat the other four gangsters.

It’s Labor Day.

However, May of this year is destined to be a day that mankind will remember. The rice plague is spreading unstoppably around the world, and countries are helpless.

East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia, areas where rice is traditionally grown, have completely lost their early rice harvest this year.

China and Northeast Asia, which responded quickly, benefited from the relatively high latitude and the late arrival of spring. They promptly switched to other food crops and did not cause a reduction in domestic food production.

On the contrary, China's total grain output may hit a new high this year, due to the large-scale transformation of wasteland by the Huanong Group and the spread of rural cooperatives, which has restored farmland to many rural areas that had previously been abandoned.

However, the South, where rice is the staple food, is a bit sad this year and can only eat pasta and potatoes.

In Southeast Asia and South Asia, where the national organizational capacity is not strong, with the onset of the tropical rainy season and the high incidence of typhoons, many farmlands are not suitable for growing corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes during the continuous rainy season.

The reduction in grain crop production is very obvious.

For example, in Tianzhu, after the early rice crop was completely wiped out in the spring, on the one hand, the planting was not replanted in time, and on the other hand, control was unreasonable. This year's spring grain output was only about 97 million tons.

This level seems to have little impact, because Tianzhu can be planted three seasons a year, but the reality is very serious.

If you compare the spring grain output in previous years, you will know how terrible the food crisis in Tianzhu is.

In 2014, Tianzhu's total grain output was about 310 million tons, including 156 million tons of spring grain, 51 million tons of summer grain, and 104 million tons of autumn grain.

Now we can clearly see the problem. Although the tropics can grow three seasons a year, the summer is hot, rainy and prone to typhoons, which is not a period of high food production. In autumn, although the rainy season will weaken, typhoons are also common. These are serious Factors affecting grain yield.

In other words, Tianzhu's spring grain gap this year is as high as 60 million tons. Even if the 13 million tons of rice are not exported, this big hole cannot be filled.

In summer and autumn grains, rice already accounts for a very large proportion. Rice cannot be grown now, and those paddy fields will be difficult to transform for a while, which will further increase the food gap.

It is estimated that Tianzhu's overall grain gap will expand to 80-90 million tons in 2015, affecting a population of 600 million.

As for the situation in Southeast Asia, it is also not optimistic. During the international grain rush in January, Southeast Asia lost a lot of grain. By the time they reacted and restricted exports, domestic grain reserves had dropped to historical lows.

Currently, the country with the largest food self-sufficiency gap in Southeast Asia is the Southeast Asian Thousand Islands, with an overall food gap of 33%, followed by Annan with 24% and Myanmar with 17%.

Countries such as Siam, Luzon, and Malaysia are still barely self-sufficient.

International food prices have soared to US$2,670 per ton for rice, US$1,975 per ton for wheat flour, and US$1,150 per ton for corn.

The prices of the three major staple foods have soared to varying degrees, and the United States, the world's largest grain exporter, is not only reducing exports, but also constantly raising prices.

Huanong Group, Ganjiang Provincial Headquarters.

Acting Chairman Liu Qinghe, Deputy Acting Chairman Hu Yue (also in charge of rural cooperatives), Deputy Acting Chairman Jin Yang (also in charge of international trade) and others convened an emergency meeting.

"These ghost guys really have bad intentions." Jin Yang angrily slapped an international soybean price on the table.

Liu Qinghe had already expected this. After all, with the skyrocketing international food prices, soybeans, which have vague food attributes (can be used as oil crops or food crops), will naturally be affected.

The five largest soybean producers in the United States have collectively raised prices for exported soybean products, and it is mentioned that the price is 30%.

"I guess the American guy will hit the snake with a stick and try to push the envelope further." Hu Yue analyzed calmly.

Jin Yang, who had a headache, frowned and asked: "Lao Hu, how many soybeans can your rural cooperative produce this year?"

Hu Yue shook his head helplessly: "Heijiang Province is the largest soybean production area in the country, accounting for 36% of the country's output. Last year it produced a total of 4.73 million tons of soybeans. This year's glass greenhouse renovation project is completed, and it is estimated that the output can be increased to 1,000 tons. It will be about 10,000 tons and can be increased to 15 million tons next year, and the national total output can be increased to about 30 million tons next year."

At present, domestic soybean imports are very high, reaching 80 million tons, and the self-sufficiency rate of domestic soybeans is only about 17%.

Jin Yang looked solemn: "This won't work. Next year, domestically produced soybeans can only reach 35%. We still need to rely on the international market for more than 65% of our soybeans."

Liu Qinghe, who had been silent all this time, suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "That's fine."

"Old Liu, what are your ideas?" Jin Yang asked quickly.

Turning on the computer, lines of text appeared on the projection screen. Looking at these plans, Jin Yang and Hu Yue both felt a little cold sweat.

"Would this be possible...?"

Liu Qinghe clenched his fists fiercely and said: "These are foreign-funded enterprises anyway. If you want to blame them, blame them for being born in the wrong place."

Jin Yang and Hu Yue looked at each other and made up their minds.

Huanong Group acted quickly to merge and integrate some oil-extracting companies within the system and established three wholly-owned subsidiaries: Heijiang Edible Oil, Ranch New Oil, and Jiangnan New Oil.

On the one hand, the soybean planting area is rapidly expanded to increase the total soybean production to 24 million tons this year and 50 million tons next year.

On the other hand, to establish diversified edible oil varieties, in addition to soybean oil among vegetable oils, we must also increase the proportion of rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, peanut oil, and linseed oil.

Animal oils that are rarely used in China must also be included in the overall overall plan, such as butter, lard, mutton fat, poultry fat, etc.

In this way, the proportion of soybean oil in the domestic edible oil market is reduced.

At present, in the domestic edible oil market, the consumption share of soybean oil is 41%, followed by palm oil 22%, rapeseed oil 21%, and other edible oils only account for 16%.

Among them, 95% of soybean oil is pressed from imported soybeans, and palm oil is 100% imported because palm is a tropical plant.

In Huanong Group's plan, it is expected to increase the proportion of animal oil to 20%, reduce the proportion of soybean oil to less than 25%, and increase the proportion of peanut oil, sunflower seed oil, and linseed oil.

Diversifying edible oils as much as possible and preventing the proportion of a single variety from exceeding 20% ​​can effectively stifle structural crises.

Especially the traditional Chinese lard, now Chinese people rarely use lard, and many people don’t like the fat in pork.

Huanong Group simply purchased the lard fat and fat meat from the meat processing factory directly, and conducted secondary deep processing to turn it into lard butter similar to butter.

A multi-pronged approach to suppress the edible oil market can also effectively balance the market proportions of various edible oils. However, doing so will lead to the demise of some oil-extracting companies.

Huanong Group has prepared a merger and acquisition plan, concentrating its firepower on killing foreign-funded enterprises such as Goldfish Oil first, and then injecting capital into domestic oil-extracting enterprises.

As for American soybean producers raising prices, let them do so. Huanong Group just took this opportunity to launch a price war and overthrow those foreign-funded oil extraction companies.

With its own agricultural production base, rapidly expanding rural cooperatives, and huge and cheap electricity, Huanong Group doesn’t believe it can’t defeat these gringos.

Of course, the plan is not to be completed all at once, but is divided into five-year plans.
