20 mu of wheat was flooded by the construction site? A global food crisis is brewing. Do you have the heart to destroy wheat?

Every year before and after the awning, it is the season of wheat harvest. Especially this year, the weather in the north is dry and the wheat matures ahead of schedule. Many places have begun to concentrate on harvesting.

However, at the critical moment, there was an incident of destroying wheat, which made people sad.

0 1, 20 mu of wheat was flooded due to site drainage.

A few days ago, Shi Jie, Mainong, Qiantang District, Hangzhou, said that she planted 1.200 mu of wheat this year and entered the harvest period from the end of May, but 20 mu of land was inexplicably flooded.

Sister Shi said that the weather was fine these days, and she hired workers to drive harvesters to harvest wheat. In the evening, she came to the incident, ready to cut all the more than 20 acres of wheat and call it a day.

However, in the process of harvesting, it was found that the harvesting speed of the machine slowed down, and only after it came down did it find water in the wheat field.

Once the wheat field is flooded, the wheat will easily lodging, and the wheat will be wasted.

Sister Shi quickly asked the workers to speed up the horsepower harvesting of wheat.

However, when there were 6-7 mu of land left, three harvesters could not work normally due to water inflow.

The reporter found at the scene that the accumulated water in the wheat field had not passed the adult calf, and a large number of wheat fell down due to accumulated water, which made Shi Jie sad.

She said that an acre of land can harvest 750 kilograms, and the loss of wheat alone is as high as 5,000 kilograms.

Three harvesters have also failed, and one of them only took 1 day to purchase, which cost 250 thousand.

After investigation, Shi Dajie and his son found that the accumulated water was pumped away from two rainwater wells on the construction site, and the construction unit also admitted its drainage behavior. At present, the compensation is still under agreement.

Sister Shi said that she was distressed that the wheat had been destroyed. If the site needs drainage, she can communicate in advance and harvest the wheat fields first.

In 2002, a global food crisis was brewing.

In fact, since April, wheat has been destroyed in many places. In the past, wheat fields in two counties in Shijiazhuang were leveled, and then green wheat was harvested in advance. Recently, many wheat fields suffered from fires, and 20 mu of wheat in this site was destroyed by drainage.

Wheat doesn't seem to sell at a high price, but it is the guarantee of China people's rice bowls. What's more, now that the global food crisis is brewing, this kind of wheat destruction should not happen.

Since the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, global food prices have soared, and more than 20 countries have issued food export bans, which has once again stimulated food prices to rise. Since 2022, the prices of soybeans, wheat and corn have increased by 29%, 50% and 30% respectively.

In fact, as early as 2020, food prices have already started the skyrocketing mode. Corn and wheat have increased by more than 100% in recent two years, and global food prices have also hit a 20-year high.

As for the food price, it hit a new high, mainly because of the chain reaction caused by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

As big exporters, Russia and Ukraine exported 33% wheat, 27% barley, 17% corn, 24% sunflower seeds and 73% sunflower oil last year.

In addition, Russia is the largest exporter of nitrogen fertilizer, the second largest exporter of potash fertilizer and the third largest exporter of phosphate fertilizer.

However, due to conflicts in some parts of Ukraine, crops were not harvested. It is estimated that the yield of wheat will be reduced by 20-30%, and the planting area of corn in the new season will be sharply reduced.

With the conflict between the two countries, the grain circulation has been restricted, which has increased the contradiction of global food supply, driven the global food price to rise, and also enhanced the awareness of food protection in many countries. India, Argentina, Hungary, Indonesia and Turkey have issued export restrictions.

According to the data of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the cumulative global grain output may drop to 2.784 billion tons in 2022, a decrease of160,000 tons compared with last year.

This year's grain consumption demand is expected to be 2.788 billion tons, indicating that the output cannot meet the demand, and the grain inventory is expected to drop to 847 million tons, the lowest since 20 13.

In fact, the main reason for the sharp increase in grain is not the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but the increasingly serious extreme climate in recent years.

It is found that extreme weather causes 30% annual fluctuation of crop yield.

Since April, severe drought and high temperature weather have occurred in France and India, resulting in a sharp drop in wheat production.

The United States, Canada, Argentina and other countries also suffer from drought and extreme high temperature, which also puts many crops at risk of reducing production.

It is against this background that a United Nations report pointed out that in 2022, it is estimated that 654.38+0.93 billion people will suffer from food crisis, and more than 300 million people will face the crisis of unbalanced food supply.

In fact, these food importing countries have indeed experienced serious inflation. For example, Lebanon's wheat stock is only enough for people to eat for 30 days, and 4.6 million people in Somalia are short of food.

03. China is generally stable.

Although the international food crisis is brewing, China's food supply is relatively stable, mainly because of the official red line of 65.438+0.8 billion mu of cultivated land, which makes China's grain output set a record of "654.38+0.8 Lian Feng" and has remained above 654.38+0.3 trillion Jin for seven consecutive years, which is enough to meet the food demand of China people.

It is precisely because "there is food in hand, but there is no panic in my heart" that domestic food prices can be stable.

Even so, China should always pay attention to the protection of grain, crack down on the destruction of wheat and fields, and put grain first.

The reason why there are so many incidents of wheat destruction is that Chinese people do not pay enough attention to it.

Coupled with the low price of wheat, this makes some units somewhat unscrupulous.

Only when the government attaches importance to such problems, focuses on cracking down and attaches importance to the significance of food to Chinese people can we always grasp the defense line of food security. what do you think?
