To ensure food security, we must adhere to the principle of focusing on ourselves and basing ourselves on the domestic market, and ensure that the rice bowls of China people are firmly in their own hands, with COFCO as the main food bowl, which is determined by the basic national conditions. China is a populous country, so it is neither realistic nor possible to rely on the international market to solve the problem of eating.
Only when a country is basically self-sufficient in food can it grasp the initiative of food security and then control the overall situation of economic and social development. In the face of the unprecedented changes in the world in the past century, only with food in hand can we ensure that we do not panic when dealing with major public emergencies such as the COVID-19 epidemic.
Measures of food security strategy:
1, improve the comprehensive production capacity.
First, store grain in the ground, keep the red line of 65.438+0.8 billion mu of cultivated land, and at the same time strengthen the construction of high-standard farmland to ensure the harvest of drought and flood. In recent years 18, China has had bumper harvests year after year, which broke the previous cycle of "two increases, one reduction and one leveling", mainly because of this. The second is to store grain through science and technology. Compared with 1978, the sown area of grain decreased by 57 million mu in 2020, but the yield more than doubled, mainly due to improved varieties and good methods.
The third is to optimize the regional layout. Different agricultural products often have comparative advantages in some fields, and optimizing the layout is an important way to reduce costs and improve efficiency.
2. Protect and mobilize the enthusiasm of growing grain.
The first is to mobilize farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain. After the abolition of agricultural tax, the state gradually established and improved the support and protection system for agriculture, implemented producer subsidies, established the minimum purchase price system and strengthened the service system. The second is to mobilize the enthusiasm of agricultural science and technology personnel. Since the 18th National Congress, the state has promoted the reform of agricultural scientific research institutions and implemented the personnel appointment system.
Build a trading platform for scientific research achievements; While strengthening the public welfare function, we should liberalize business services and allow scientific researchers and technology extension personnel to start their own businesses and hold shares for part-time jobs. The third is to mobilize the enthusiasm of local governments to catch grain. In order to solve the problem of "big grain-producing counties, small economic counties and poor financial counties", the central government implemented the incentive policy for big grain-producing counties in 2005 and increased financial transfer payments.
3, improve the grain reserve system, smooth grain market circulation.
China's grain circulation has undergone a historic transformation from unified purchase and marketing, unified distribution to multi-channel circulation, and then to the marketization of grain purchase and sale. At present, the market regulation from purchase and sale to processing transformation has been basically realized, and a market system with complete market types and diversified trading methods and a grain logistics system extending in all directions has been established from spot market to futures market and from wholesale market to online trading.
