How many tons of food was wasted nationwide in 2019?

20,200 tons.

Grain refers to the general name of various plant seeds in cooking foods, and can also be generally referred to as "cereals". Food crops are rich in nutrients, mainly protein, vitamins, dietary fiber, fat, starch, etc.

In ancient times, walking on the road was called food, and staying at home was called food. Later, it is also commonly known as raw and finished grains such as cereals, beans, and potatoes for consumption. The food concept of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (hereinafter referred to as FAO) refers to cereals, including wheat, beans, coarse grains, rice, etc.

On November 16, 2018, with the approval of the State Council, the minimum purchase price of wheat (third grade) produced in 2019 is 112 yuan per 50 kilograms, which is 3 yuan lower than in 2018.

The state announced a series of grain purchase policies, including corn, soybeans, etc., in the scope of purchase, and significantly increased the minimum grain purchase price in 2009.

The price of temporarily stored rice is not only higher than the lowest purchase price of various grain varieties announced by the state in the first half of the year, but also slightly higher than the current market grain price. Some varieties have publicly announced their entry into the market for purchase and reserve for the first time. The market intention is quite obvious. The purchase of early rice staged the "final madness" of this round of grain bull market, and the purchase price reached a historical high of 100 yuan/hundred catties.

However, the subsequent purchase of mid-late and late rice was the opposite. All parties entered the market cautiously, and prices were sluggish. In some places in Jiangxi, the purchase price of mid-late and late rice was actually lower than the previous purchase price of early rice, resulting in a rare "inversion" of early and late rice prices. At the same time, soybeans, wheat, corn, etc. have also entered the downward channel, and "difficulty in selling grain" and "low grain prices hurting farmers" are about to occur. After China announced an increase in protective prices, grain market prices responded positively.

The prices of soybean, corn and other futures on the Dalian Commodity Exchange have risen across the board, and the market price of soybeans in some areas has exceeded the national protective price.

Xiong Lianghua, Vice President of Southern Grain Market, believes that this time the state decided to implement temporary purchase and storage and raise the minimum purchase price of grain, which can achieve multiple goals with one stone: First, it curbs the current downward trend of grain prices and prevents farmers from " It is difficult to sell grain." Secondly, the provisional purchase price announced this time will be a periodic bottom for various grain varieties in the Chinese market.

Raising the price floor of China's grain will bid farewell to the "low-price era" of China's grain; thirdly, grain price regulation has been given the new function of expanding domestic demand, which can increase sluggish rural consumption by increasing farmers' income.
