A new round of game between genetically modified and non-genetically modified soybeans was released on May 23rd, 2009. Time: 10: 55: 08 Source: China Food Quality News. The State Reserve bought a soybean warehouse full of soybean oil, and soybean oil stopped production and began to increase in price.
Our reporter Jiang Hongliang is from Beijing.
Recently, the reporter saw from the Internet that Heilongjiang State Reserve has purchased Man Cang soybeans, but soybean oil enterprises stopped production because there were no soybeans, and a new round of soybean oil price increase began. The puzzling news is that while imports increased sharply, exports decreased, and farmers accumulated a large amount of soybeans, local large and medium-sized oil companies in Heilongjiang stopped production because they could not buy soybeans. There are indications that a new round of game between genetically modified soybeans and non-genetically modified soybeans has begun.
Genetically modified soybeans won a great victory.
"The reason is very simple. Farmers are unwilling to sell at a loss because of low prices; There are beans in the hands of the State Reserve, but oil companies think that the price of soybeans in the State Reserve is too high, and buying them can only be a loss. " Wang Min, deputy general manager of Yonghe Soymilk, explained the "domestic soybean contradiction" to reporters. Wang Min told reporters that imported soybeans have been suspected of being dumped at low prices in China, disrupting the domestic market order. In fact, this is a policy of food aggression: first, exporting low-priced soybeans to various countries to occupy the market, making it cheaper for oil companies to buy local soybeans than imported soybeans. When local farmers are beaten to the point where they can't fight back, then local farmers won't plant or plant less soybeans. After a certain period of time, imported soybeans controlled the market, futures began to increase in price, and the purchase price rose. This aggression makes local farmers have no money to earn, and then controls prices. It is also known that in order to solve the problem that it is difficult for local farmers to sell soybeans, some time ago, the government adopted the purchase protection price for farmers' soybeans, so farmers went to the granary to sell soybeans, and the national reserve soybean warehouse was full.
Should bean products enterprises stand up?
The national soybean warehouse is full. How to deal with it? Since oil companies are unwilling to purchase, should bean products companies stand up? We know that non-GM soybeans have incomparable advantages over GM soybeans, that is, high protein content. Wu, secretary-general of China Bean Products Industry Association, told reporters that the raw materials used by bean products enterprises in China are all non-GMO soybeans, but the overall consumption is pitiful. At present, the annual output of soybean in China is about 56 million tons, while the consumption of bean products production enterprises is about 6.5438+0 million tons, which is less than 2% of the total output. According to the person in charge of Shandong Doufang Group, as the largest bean product enterprise in Jiangbei, China, Doufang consumes less than 20 tons of soybeans every day. It can be seen that the advantages of domestic non-GM soybeans have not been well transformed.
The soybean crisis, from a deeper level, is a contest between non-GM soybeans and GM soybeans. No matter how people argue about the safety of genetically modified soybeans, the market is the market after all. For enterprises, it pursues greater profits. For ordinary people, living at home really saves money. From these two points of view, whether facing enterprises or consumers, genetically modified soybeans will be the ultimate winner. For the benefit of farmers and soybean industry in China, whether it is advocating the consumption of non-GMO soybean products or controlling imported soybeans from tariffs, the government should look at and solve this problem from a strategic perspective.
