Propaganda slogan of expanding soybean planting

Spring ploughing and preparation work has been started in various places, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs has also held a national conference on spring field management and spring ploughing and preparation work, which has given relevant guidance to this year's spring ploughing and preparation work.

It was emphasized that it is necessary to solve the problem of expanding the supply of soybean oil. At present, while doing a good job in production, we should coordinate and improve the subsidy policies for soybean and corn producers, and increase the scale of crop rotation subsidies and incentives for large grain-producing counties and oil-producing counties.

Efforts should be made to narrow the income gap between soybean and corn planting and do everything possible to stabilize the net soybean output.

Guide soybean processing enterprises to the layout of main producing areas, and promote the improvement of planting efficiency.

It can be seen that the problem of soybean planting is still a key point this year, and the statement of "increasing crop rotation subsidies" may continue to increase soybean planting subsidies this year.

Wheat, rice, corn and soybean are the main crops in China. Among them, wheat and rice still implement the minimum purchase price policy, while corn and soybean cancel the minimum purchase price policy and implement the policy of "market acquisition+producer subsidy", which improves farmers' enthusiasm for planting.

China's soybean planting area is relatively small, and China's soybean demand mainly depends on imports. According to the data released by the Ministry of Commerce, the foreign dependence of soybeans in China was only 7% in 1995, and it rose to 60%-70% in 2005, and reached 86% in 20 14-20 15.

With the implementation of the policy of "market acquisition+producer subsidy" for soybeans in 20 17, the soybean planting area in China has gradually increased, and the import volume has also decreased.

A very important factor for farmers' friends to replant soybeans is producer subsidies.

In 20021year, the central government arranged a subsidy of 20.79 billion yuan for soybean producers to guide farmers in Northeast China to stabilize soybean planting area.

In 2022, the central government will arrange 40.82 billion yuan of subsidies for corn and soybean producers, guide local governments to reasonably expand the gap in subsidies for corn and soybean, and support farmers to expand soybean production.

How much can you subsidize planting soybeans per mu?

Different regions have different subsidy standards according to local actual conditions.

For example, in 2022, Heilongjiang corn and soybean producers subsidized funds, 28 yuan per mu of corn, 248 yuan per mu of soybeans, and 200 yuan more per mu of soybeans than corn.

The subsidy standard per mu for soybean planting in Liaoning Province is higher than that for corn in 200 yuan, and the specific amount is determined and released by cities and counties.

The subsidy for planting soybeans in Jilin Province is also higher than that for planting corn. In principle, soybeans in the eastern region are higher than those in 200 yuan, 300 yuan in the central region and 200 yuan in the western region.

Tianjin also encourages the cultivation of oil crops such as soybeans, of which 300 yuan is subsidized for each mu of soybeans and 400 yuan is subsidized for each mu of oil.

In addition to the producer subsidies mentioned above, in some areas, in order to continue to improve farmers' enthusiasm for planting soybeans, subsidies are also given to the purchase of seeds. For example, in 2022, Harbin subsidized 30 yuan/mu for soybean varieties.

Why is the enthusiasm for planting soybeans still not high?

In recent years, under the guidance of various favorable policies, China's soybean planting area has increased year by year. However, compared with corn planting, the enthusiasm of many farmers is still relatively low. As for the reason, the helper asked some farmers and analyzed it from two aspects in combination with the actual planting situation.

First of all, the income from planting soybeans is not high.

Soybean and corn planting areas are highly overlapped. For ordinary farmers, which crop has high yield, they will choose which crop to plant. If they grow corn in the same field, they will not be able to grow soybeans.

The yield per mu of planted corn is calculated according to 1200 kg, and the price of corn has also increased in recent two years. According to 1.30 yuan/kg, the total income per mu can reach 1560 yuan.

The yield of one mu of soybean is calculated as 350 Jin, and the price of soybean has also increased in the past two years. According to 3 yuan/Jin, the total income of one mu of land is 1.05 yuan.

Although the subsidy of soybean producers is about higher than that of 200 yuan per mu of corn, in terms of actual planting income, the profit of corn is higher than that of soybean and will be higher than that of 200 yuan.

This has also led to low enthusiasm for soybean planting.

Second, there are difficulties in sowing and harvesting.

Judging from the present situation in many areas, mechanized sowing and harvesting of corn has become popular, with large planting area and convenient mechanization.

For example, when sowing corn, adjust the planting amount, you can sow hundreds of acres a day, and technicians are willing to work.

Similarly, the same is true of corn harvest. In the harvest season, a large area of corn in a village is waiting to be harvested. After the robot hand walks over, a village can harvest in 2-3 days.

However, for soybeans, because the planting area is relatively small, and some of them are not contiguous, there will be cases where machinery cannot be found during sowing or harvesting.

For example, in a village, 80% grow corn and 20% grow soybeans, and the plots for growing soybeans are here and there.

For robots, in the same farming season, dry corn works fast and earns more, while dry soybeans work slowly (not contiguous) and earn less.

In this case, it is more difficult to sow and harvest soybeans, and farmers need to sow and harvest them themselves. Even if there is machinery in the local area, the charge will be relatively expensive.

From the farmer's point of view, it is better to plant corn than to be so troublesome.

To sum up, increasing soybean planting area is still the focus of agricultural spring ploughing this year. For farmers, we will continue to increase subsidies to soybean producers.

At the same time, increasing the purchase price of soybeans and increasing soybean yield through improved varieties and scientific management techniques will increase the enthusiasm of planting soybeans.

Ask everyone, are you going to plant soybeans this year?
