Ren Zhengxiao: Do ​​more measures and prepare for storage to avoid selling grain

There are still more than 20 days, this year's summer grain purchase will be fully launched from south to north. Ren Zhengxiao, director of the State Grain Bureau, revealed at the press conference held by the State Council Information Office on April 26 that this year's food storage and storage contradictions are prominent, and the pressure of tight storage is tight. .

He said that rationally digesting food stocks is a "bull nose" for the whole grain storage and storage work. National Food Authority has been under the relevant departments of the lead and collar support, Speeding food "to stock", make the acquisition of new grain storage capacity as soon as possible. In the first four months of this year, the cumulative sales of food was 335.1 billion kilograms, and the processing and transformation of food was 119.7 billion kilograms.

How to treat the reality that China's grain stocks are at historically high levels? Ren Zhengxiao said that the high stock of food in front of us is not the normal state, and it is not stable and sustainable. The reasons for the high stocks that are currently at historical highs are various, including the bumper harvest of grain in successive years, the reduction of grain storage by farmers, the reluctance of processing and transformation enterprises to save more raw materials, and the low-priced imported grain to occupy the market for domestically produced food. However, these factors will change with the changes in the economic environment and associated conditions, and will not become the driving force for long-term growth in food stocks. Once there is a reduction in grain production, the economic recovery is improving, and there is a tightening of international food supply and demand, the domestic and international food markets will soon have a conductive response, and food stocks may fall rapidly. Therefore, we cannot conclude that China’s food situation has been rest assured by the high food stocks in front of us.

In the face of the current high food stocks, the grain storage capacity of the main producing areas is full, how to avoid the difficulties of farmers selling grain in this year's grain purchase?

Ren Zhengxiao said that the relevant state departments and local governments at all levels in accordance with the unified arrangements of the State Council, early arrangements for the deployment of grain storage and storage, wheat, rice low purchase price implementation plan is more than a month earlier than in previous years, summer grain acquisition work meeting is earlier than in previous years Held more than a month. The most important thing is to take multiple measures, prepare for storage, increase the ability to store and store, and strive to avoid the phenomenon that farmers are “difficult to sell grain”. At present, the grain departments of the main grain-producing areas have formulated plans for the storage and storage of various grain-selling entities, optimized acquisition services, improved service measures, and strived to avoid the phenomenon of farmers arranging grain for sale and long queues for grain sales.

Ren Zhengxiao particularly stressed that after the state canceled the temporary storage and storage system for corn, all levels of government, especially the grain departments at all levels, attached great importance to solving the problem of farmers selling corn, and taking measures to invigorate the circulation of corn and protect the interests of farmers.
