However, things are not over yet. The cutting of green wheat in many places in Henan has once again triggered people's concerns about the food crisis.
In this regard, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs voiced for the first time, demanding a nationwide crackdown on wheat destruction to ensure the stability and safety of wheat harvest.
However, now there is another incident of wheat destruction, and then hot search. What's going on here?
0 1, 100 mu of wheat field was forcibly leveled?
According to news reports, many villagers in a village in Xingtang County, Shijiazhuang claimed that their contracted land was forcibly occupied.
It turned out that as early as last year, there were strangers in the village who came to inspect and wanted to build photovoltaic projects on the contracted land and mobilize the villagers to sign contracts, but not many people signed contracts.
At the end of April this year, a group of workers came to the village, demanding that the villagers give up their land and put forward to eradicate the growing wheat fields, which was rejected by most villagers.
However, regardless of the wishes of the villagers, these people forcibly leveled more than 230 acres of wheat fields with forklifts without signing a lease contract, involving two villages.
As can be seen from a video on the Internet, a group of construction workers and villagers had a fierce conflict, and many villagers used various methods to prevent machines from destroying wheat fields.
During the dispute, three villagers were injured, but it was still unable to stop the wheat fields from being destroyed.
Now, the leveled farmland has been piled with wooden stakes, and the construction of photovoltaic power station has begun.
Many villagers have a headache when they see the wheat fields that are growing well destroyed. Wheat can be harvested in a month, and now it has been forcibly eradicated.
Although there was an extra sum of money in the social security card of the villagers afterwards, it was still unacceptable.
Regarding the experience of the villagers, some lawyers said that it is a serious illegal act to eradicate hundreds of acres of wheat fields when the villagers failed to sign a lease contract. Villagers can keep the evidence and call the police in time.
At the same time, the occupation of more than 2.3 million mu of cultivated land has also seriously trampled on the red line of 65.438+08 billion mu of cultivated land.
In this regard, the staff said that an investigation has been conducted, but so far there is no investigation result.
In 2002, the global staple food rose by 300%.
It is getting closer and closer to the maturity of wheat, but the phenomenon of wheat destruction is endless, which has to make people worry too much about the food crisis.
Globally, the price of staple food has soared by more than 300%, especially in Iran. Due to the change of wheat import policy, the prices of various staple foods have soared by more than 300%, and many people are dissatisfied with this.
In addition to the increase in staple food prices, the prices of chicken, milk, eggs and cooking oil in Iran have also increased by more than 300%, and the price of handmade bread has increased by 10 times.
India also announced the suspension of wheat exports, and the ban will take effect immediately, which also makes the food supply more and more tense.
After all, India, as a major grain exporter, exported 6.5438+0.4 million tons of wheat in April, reducing the burden on importing countries. Now the sudden ban has made the price of wheat rise again.
At present, Chicago wheat futures have risen by 64% compared with the beginning of the year, and London wheat futures have risen to a record high. Affected by this, the prices of wheat importing countries such as Egypt, Turkey and Bangladesh all ushered in an increase.
At present, the high international wheat price is not the biggest crisis. With the increase of extreme weather, it is estimated that the total wheat output may decrease by about 4 million tons this year, which is also a concern of all countries.
It is reported that India has suffered from heat wave and drought since March, and the wheat yield is expected to be reduced by 15-25%.
In addition, the high energy market and the shortage of fertilizer supply are also one of the factors that reduce wheat production.
Of course, the United States and Argentina, the two major food exporters, are also having a hard time. Long-term drought in some areas and unsatisfactory wheat yield expectations have once again triggered market concerns.
The same is true of France. As a big wheat producer, France was affected by drought this year, and groundwater in some areas was exhausted. Wheat production is expected to decrease by about 15%.
Although Ukraine has not been affected by natural disasters, due to special reasons, wheat production is expected to drop by 35% year-on-year.
It can be seen that with the decline of grain output in many countries this year, the prices of wheat and other grains will continue to rise.
However, there have been many incidents of wheat destruction in China. No wonder many netizens condemned it.
03. How far is the food crisis from us?
As the largest country in wheat production, China's output reached 65.438+0.37 billion tons last year, but even so, China's wheat import is still in the forefront, reaching 9.77 million tons, and Indian annual export is only over 8 million tons.
Of course, wheat as a food ration is enough to meet the demand, but due to the shortage of corn feed supply, a large number of wheat is used for feed production, which leads to the reduction of temporary storage of wheat from 80 million tons to 40 million tons, and also makes the price of wheat continue to rise.
A few years ago, the price of wheat was around 1.2 yuan, but now it has risen to around 1.6 yuan, which shows that the high international wheat price has a great influence on domestic wheat.
Therefore, although the food crisis will not have much impact on China, its impact on domestic food prices can not be ignored.
The food crisis is approaching. Only by ensuring that the red line of 65.438+0.8 billion mu of cultivated land is not destroyed and the green wheat is harvested smoothly can we ensure a bumper harvest of new wheat in 2022 and let 65.438+0.4 billion people firmly hold their rice bowls. what do you think?
