Zhongqing Sannong believes that if this is true, farmers' enthusiasm for planting beans will definitely increase. It is estimated that many farmers who originally mainly planted corn will switch to soybeans or increase the soybean planting area. This is the case in the Northeast region in 2019, but the reason is not that prices have increased too much, but that the amount of subsidies is high.
But even so, the benefits of soybean planting are still very limited, and there is still a clear gap between the benefits of soybean planting and corn planting. Furthermore, due to various factors such as the low yield per mu of domestic soybeans in my country, high production costs, and small market space, the planting area and final output scale of soybeans will not fluctuate too much. After all, my country's market demand for corn is much higher than that of soybeans. Ensuring that domestic corn production remains high and stable means that the self-sufficiency rate of soybeans will not be too high.
As the price of soybeans increases, farmers’ intention to plant them will definitely increase.
To be honest, soybeans, as the fifth largest food crop and the largest oil crop in my country, are the main component and source of income for many farmers. For them, the higher the price. The better, and if the increase in price is accompanied by an increase in planting income, it can also significantly boost farmers' enthusiasm for planting.
So, to be honest, if the soybean market price can surge by more than half from the current price of less than 1.8 yuan per catty to 3 yuan per catty, it will be a great good thing for soybean farmers, which means The increase in income per mu will definitely boost their enthusiasm for planting to a certain extent. After all, for ordinary people, if the grain output is fixed, the only way to make more money through farming is to increase grain prices. .
Domestic soybean planting has little benefit advantage.
It is understood that the average yield per mu of domestic soybeans in our country is currently about 120 kilograms, which is about 240 kilograms. However, the yield per mu of soybean dominant areas in Northeast China or North China may increase to a certain extent, reaching More than 150 kilograms, but even so, assuming its market price reaches 3 yuan per kilogram, the average output value per mu is only 900 yuan. Overall, it is not a very impressive price. You must know that as an autumn grain crop, regardless of Whether in the Northeast or North China, there is only one biggest competitor for soybeans, and that is corn. However, in terms of planting scale, final yield, total value of output per mu and final benefit, domestic soybeans seem to be completely lagging behind.
Based on last year’s overall data, the national average corn yield per mu reached about 820 kilograms. Calculated based on the average price of 0.9 yuan per catty, the average yield value per mu is about 738 yuan. The corn yield per mu in the Northeast is relatively high, but the price is lower, but the overall output value per mu is about 900 yuan. At the same time, if we look at the average yield per mu and market price performance of domestic soybeans, it is less than 500 yuan. The market price of soybeans in the Northeast is generally around 1.7 yuan per catty. If the yield per mu is 300 catties, it is exactly 500 yuan. It's just money. Therefore, soybean cultivation in Northeast China in recent years has been maintained purely by subsidies to growers issued by the state.
