Not only do we have to ask, what is the reason for the continuous rise in food prices? The main reasons are as follows:
It is a fact that land is non-renewable and can only be reduced year by year. The red line of 654.38+08 billion land is also difficult to hold. At present, with the continuous advancement of urbanization and industrialization, urban development and factory construction occupy a large amount of cultivated land. Land resources can only be reduced year by year.
For example, in order to support the development of pigs, many large pig-raising enterprises have built pig-raising projects on farmland, covering an area of tens of acres or nearly a thousand acres. Urban development, industrial land and so on. The change of land use in a large area is the main reason for the increase in food prices. There are few patches of corn and paddy fields in rural basic farmland. Instead, thousands of acres of endless vegetable, strawberry, fruit and other greenhouse bases.
Moreover, in recent years, due to low food prices, many lands have been planted with trees and nurseries, and the phenomenon of land shortage in rural areas also exists.
In autumn, there are many typhoons in Northeast China, and rainy weather makes corn lodging serious and crops pollinate badly, which leads to the reduction of main crops in different degrees. With the increase of grain prices, farmers have a unified understanding of reluctance to sell, and their psychology of hoarding grain and selling at the same price has been enhanced.
Due to the continuous expansion of the development scale of pigs, many large-scale pig-raising enterprises have settled in the pig-raising industry, and the pig-raising industry has continued to expand in disorder and unplanned, so that the pig feed has now reached seven consecutive increases, resulting in a shortage of corn, soybeans and bran, which has boosted the price of food. This year, corn prices continue to rise, and 202 1 will hit a record high.
In short, there are many reasons for the rise of food prices, but with the increase of national macro-control and food imports, as well as the continuous cooling of pig breeding fever in the future, the probability of a sustained sharp rise in food prices will not be great.
