To say that Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has excellent land resources is actually not that good. Except for a whole piece of land like Mu Us Pasture, other land resources are far behind those of the state-owned agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises established by China Grain Reserves.
Because the best land resources in the country are just a few plains, and it is really difficult for Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company to lease land in these places.
If Sinograin had not intervened to form a large-scale state-owned agricultural and animal husbandry enterprise, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company would still have some opportunities. The relatively good land resources under their name were obtained during this period.
But now the opportunities are basically gone. Most of the leased land is hilly land, and there are basically very few large-scale lands. This is an important reason that limits the development of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.
Of course, in order to develop domestic advanced textile raw materials and at the same time to cope with the increased demand for industrial raw materials due to the substantial expansion of domestic demand, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has obtained a very good land plot.
As mentioned earlier, the land resources obtained by planting cotton on a large scale in Xinjiang are relatively better. This does not mean that state-owned enterprises are not interested in this business, but they are currently unable to do so.
In recent years, Hualong Clothing Company and Huansha Textile Company have continued to increase their international market share and earn huge trade surpluses. Other countries have discovered this and are actively promoting the development of their own textile and garment industries.
In particular, developed countries know that they no longer have many advantages in developing these industries in their own countries, so they begin to work hard to provide related technologies to other third world countries, or simply invest in these countries.
It is hoped that the cheap labor force in these countries will smooth out my country's advantages in the textile and apparel field. Although it may not be able to compete with its two companies in the high-end field, it has great potential in the low-end field.
In order to cope with the changes in the textile and apparel field under the new situation, our country needs to upgrade the textile and apparel industry, and the most important of these is the upgrade of textile raw materials.
In the past, Xinjiang had unique advantages in growing cotton due to its special weather and climate conditions. The fiber length of cotton was much longer than that of cotton grown in other regions.
In fact, Xinjiang is suitable for growing cotton. Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has long known that, but the transportation conditions were relatively poor at that time, which restricted their industrial layout in Xinjiang.
Since the highway was built in Xinjiang, the traffic problem has been alleviated to a certain extent. Although the cost of high-speed transportation is still high, it is at least much better than before.
If you want good textile materials, in addition to taking advantage of the good climatic conditions in Xinjiang, the other aspect is naturally the improvement of cotton varieties, and this area happens to be the advantage of his industry.
Therefore, facing the critical moment of upgrading my country's textile industry, state-owned enterprises wisely did not intervene in this area, allowing Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company to own large tracts of land in Xinjiang to grow high-quality cotton.
As for other agricultural products, it is not that there is no flat land, but the scale is relatively small. It is impossible to connect hundreds of thousands of acres of land together. Most of them are just a few hundred acres of land connected together.
Therefore, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company basically walks on two legs. On the one hand, it builds high-standard farm sheds for agricultural products that can be grown in high-standard farm sheds. This is basically what it did before.
Crops suitable for this kind of production mainly focus on vegetables, Chinese medicinal materials and some special industrial raw materials. In this way, their market share in these fields is also very considerable.
Although the construction of high-standard farm sheds costs a lot of money, the benefits are also very obvious. First, the planting cycle can be adjusted independently without overly considering the restrictions caused by seasonal changes.
Second, in a relatively closed environment, more advanced planting technology can be implemented without overly considering product quality issues caused by the external environment, so product quality is more stable.
The former can significantly increase the quantity of output per unit of land, and the latter can significantly increase the value of output per unit of land. The price difference generated by the combination of the two can make up for the cost problems caused by high investment in the early stage.
Moreover, with the large-scale construction of high-standard agricultural sheds, related construction costs have dropped significantly, which is very beneficial to Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. Of course, it is also good news for other agricultural and animal husbandry companies.
Nowadays, state-owned enterprises represented by China Grain Reserves are also gradually increasing the construction of high-standard farm sheds, but the crops they plant try to avoid the crops already operated by Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company.
Doing so has a certain significance at this stage, because the domestic market is still in the process of expansion. Compared with the avoidance method, this method can reduce mutual conflicts and gain more profit margins for ourselves.
Moreover, this model can also avoid the disorderly expansion of industries caused by fierce competition, the formation of industrial surplus, the waste of investment funds, and the formation of book losses. At a time when domestic economic development is in urgent need of funds, this situation should be avoided as much as possible.
Of course, doing so is also a helpless choice, because in terms of overall strength and technology, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has an advantage. Except for its disadvantage in land acquisition, it is not inferior to state-owned agricultural and animal husbandry companies anywhere else.
From this perspective, they are afraid that Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company will deliberately compete with them for the market. Although it seems that the land resources are better than Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, they should not think too simply.
If it were other companies, this advantage would definitely lock down their opponents, but this is not necessarily the case here at Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. If there is not enough land to grow food crops, wouldn't it be possible to produce staple food crops at sea
Pomegranate rice not only has high yield, but also has better product quality and higher nutritional value. It has gradually become a staple food product for domestic residents, forcing state-owned grain companies to engage in international grain trade.
They have even specially developed new types of seafood products, taking the offshore farm to its extreme, and the unit output value is much higher than that of land.
Therefore, to a certain extent, state-owned agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises will not deliberately offend Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. Even if there is competition, it is justified, at least in terms of face, and it cannot be considered as unreasonable targeting.
As for other methods, they are basically ineffective against Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company. Although Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company is an agricultural product planting enterprise, it is actually the main operator of my country's industrial economy and agricultural economy.
So no matter what, no one will want to directly end the normal operations of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, because it will have a great impact, and it can even be said to be an unbearable blow.
Now Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company basically does business that is difficult for others to do, especially in the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials and raw materials of industrial agricultural products, it is almost the only one.
As for the consumption of agricultural products by residents, new varieties are also used to widen the gap between common agricultural products and form differentiated competition, thereby obtaining greater benefits.
Originally, in order for Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company to allow domestic people to purchase high-quality agricultural products at relatively low prices, the prices were relatively low, at least most families could afford them.
Agricultural products with worse quality than Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company will naturally have lower sales prices and lower profits, and may not even be profitable, because if not managed properly, there will be significant losses, resulting in huge losses.
Therefore, in the field of vegetables, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company actually occupies an absolutely dominant position, almost reaching the level of a monopoly, because other companies entering the market are basically unprofitable.
But not all crops can use high-standard farm sheds. For example, the tea seeds needed by Baiwei Food Company to produce tea oil are basically grown in the open air.
High-standard farm sheds are generally suitable for growing crops with short growth cycles, but are not suitable for perennial crops. The camellia oil crops mentioned above are perennial crops.
Generally speaking, perennial plants are highly adaptable to weather and climate. As long as extreme weather and climate do not occur, the output is generally very stable. You only need to do a good job in plant planting and management.
Moreover, the maturity of perennial plants has strong seasonal factors, and generally only one crop can be harvested a year. If they are planted in a high-standard farm shed, it will waste the scarce space resources of the farm shed, and the cost will be greatly increased.
This involves another leg of the project of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, which is to build high-standard farmland, because large-scale mechanized operations need to be carried out, and the land is basically located in hilly areas.
If it was a family-based planting model before, there would naturally be no need for large-scale transformation, because it requires more manpower and less machinery, and it has strong adaptability to the terrain.
Correspondingly, the unit labor output is low, which is very unfriendly to Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, which pursues scale, so it is imperative to build high-standard farmland.
This project had actually been carried out before, but at that time there was still a large amount of surplus labor in the countryside. In order to avoid affecting the development of the rural economy, some pilot projects were only carried out tentatively.
Since the year before last, China Housing Corporation has begun urbanization. The gap between rural output and income from working outside is very large, which naturally attracts a large number of rural surplus laborers to work outside.
Last year, the scale of urbanization further expanded. Not only did the rural surplus labor force leave the countryside, but a large number of farmers with farmland also went out to work, forming a phenomenon of "teaching and mentoring", and the whole village's strong labor force went out to work.
The rural land was given to the elderly, weak, women and children. At this time, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company increased the scale of rural land contracting, and large-scale high-standard farmland transformation began.
Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company provides a certain contracting fee for each mu of land every year. The contracting fee is judged according to the value of staple food produced by each mu of land. The prices of different grades of land are different.
Originally, farmers could only earn a living from these lands, but now they can achieve their goal by renting out the land directly. Basically, everyone agrees.
And now most of them go out to work. If the old, weak, women and children at home want to continue farming, the level of hard work is very high. If you don’t farm, it will be very wasteful. You have to pay the annual agricultural tax, and you won’t be exempted from it just because you don’t farm. pay.
Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company basically contracts the entire village's land. Before contracting, an agreement must be reached within the village. As long as one household disagrees, it means the contract has failed.
The reason for doing this is because other methods are not only inefficient, but also cause a lot of trouble. Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company does not have so much energy to argue.
Moreover, rural areas like to take advantage of outsiders, but internal people really pay attention to collective honor. Basically, as long as most of the people agree with the issues discussed in the group, others will also agree, otherwise they will be criticized by others.
In fact, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has no intention of taking advantage of this aspect. Although the contracting fee is lower than the output of their own farming, the cost of removing agricultural materials is actually more than what they can get from their own farming.
Due to the scarcity of land resources, the crops grown by Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company are of relatively high value, otherwise they would not be able to cover the unit land cost and input cost.
Contract contracts are usually signed for 30 years, because the contract period for farmers is also this number. Due to policy regulations, it is impossible for Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company to contract for a longer period.
However, according to the relevant policies in the previous life, as long as Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company continues to operate, the contract period can be extended indefinitely, which is equivalent to a permanent contract.
After contracting a large area of land, it was necessary to integrate the previously scattered plots and build various road facilities and water conservancy facilities at the same time, which brought a large amount of funds to rural areas.
Because when these projects are being constructed, manpower will be recruited nearby to help, which has brought a certain amount of economic income to the local left-behind people.
Moreover, after high-standard farmland is built, local farmers will also be needed to help with harvesting and management, which will also bring income to local farmers. In terms of general ledgers, it is definitely much more cost-effective than doing it alone.
Therefore, once this model was launched, it received responses from local governments because they could reduce rural land management and at the same time stabilize local agricultural development.
Nowadays, some women are good at farm work, and there are not particularly many abandoned farmlands. However, this trend has actually attracted the attention of many local governments, but they have no good solution for this.
We can't tie farmers to the land and prevent them from going out to make more money. If we really do that, government buildings will probably be overturned, which will seriously damage the interests of farmers.
However, farmland cannot remain abandoned forever. If it is abandoned for a long time, its fertility will be lost, and it will be very difficult to open it up again.
Farmers from all over the country, except for a few thorns, basically welcome this project. They can get food security for the whole family from the rent, and can also earn a certain amount of income by helping out with work, so the pressure is much less.
It’s just that Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company requires a very large investment in the initial stage, but there is no way. They are not a state-owned enterprise, and they do not have a share of good land. They can only find more land resources from these places that no one wants.
And according to Zhao Yi's personal wishes, he would do this, because generally speaking, our country's arable land resources are still very scarce, especially if the population size continues to increase in the future.
Therefore, no matter what, we need to ensure that the amount of cultivated land in our country is sufficient. The development of urbanization cannot lead to the desolation of cultivated land in rural areas. We should shoulder this responsibility when we can bear it.
This is out of a sense of responsibility at the national level. From a personal perspective, if Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company wants to truly grow into a domestic and even international giant in the agricultural and animal husbandry industry, mastering land resources is essential.
For agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises, no land is equivalent to duckweed without roots, and the importance of land resources cannot be temporarily compensated by technology.
Regardless of whether it is public or private, this plan has its positive significance and has received support from governments at all levels and farmers, thus laying the foundation for the smooth advancement of this plan.
If other companies do this, the government may have to weigh it, because the scale of investment is quite large and ordinary companies cannot afford it. At the same time, if you want to achieve healthy development, the technical level cannot be too low.
Many companies did this in the past life, not because they had any great technology that could bring them high returns. The main source of profits for many companies came from government agricultural subsidies.
As a giant in the agriculture and animal husbandry industry, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company certainly has no shortage of funds. At the same time, its technical level is recognized as the best in the world, and it has the ability to obtain benefits from these high-cost lands, thus forming healthy development.
The cost of acquiring land is already very high, and with the addition of renovation costs, the cost is further increased. At the same time, agricultural taxes have to be paid, which further pushes up the cost. These will be reflected in the final sales price.
This is why Zhao Yi previously proposed that the government should cancel agricultural taxes. As for subsidies, he will not have this idea for the time being, because it has not yet reached that stage, and the possibility of the subsidy policy being passed is very low.
Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company’s high-end agricultural products have very high profit margins. As long as agriculture-related taxes and fees are cancelled, the freed profits will be enough to subsidize the development of low-end agricultural products.
Not all agricultural products are highly profitable, especially agricultural products that are closely related to residents' lives. It is impossible to sell them at high prices, and neither the government nor Zhao Yi will allow it.
Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company's construction of high-standard farmland in these places will not only improve various facilities in rural areas, but also inject new vitality into the rural economy.
In order to cooperate with Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company's new agricultural development strategy, the government has also invested a lot of funds and resources in rural areas, such as rural road construction.
Since Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company has made very rapid progress in this work, in order to better develop rural areas, the government has also invested more and more funds in rural areas.
This is why when it comes to the Northwest Climate Transformation Plan, the government is unwilling to provide this money, because they really have no money, and a lot of the limited funds have been allocated to rural areas.
Previously, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company had only transformed a total of 10 million acres of high-standard farmland, but last year, this figure expanded five times to 50 million acres.
Although the data does not seem to be much, in fact, the total area of our country is only about 2 billion acres. In addition to the originally very good plain land, there is not much developable land left in the hills. As for the mountain terraces, there is no The value of large-scale redevelopment.
According to the report by Li Jianguo, the head of Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company, they hope to speed up the progress of this plan, strive to expand the annual transformation area to 100 million acres, and complete the entire transformation plan within 10 years.
He is supportive of this. As long as Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company can achieve it, he has no reason not to support it. Anyway, at the financial level, they are capable of achieving this ambitious goal.
Moreover, because the Qingnong Biological Laboratory has obtained a seed replicator, it is more comfortable in cultivating new agricultural products, providing a better foundation for the development of my country's agriculture.
As for the Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company's offshore farm expansion plan, he only asked symbolically, because the plan had already been formulated and it only needed to be carried out step by step until the total area reached 3,500 square kilometers.
In addition, it is to expand the planting area of Shuangshencao. Previously, due to time constraints, it could only meet domestic supply in a short period of time. In the domestic market, Tianji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Company could only earn money for raw materials.
Since there are no restrictions on overseas markets, if you want to make big money, you have to rely on overseas markets. However, it is still unclear how much money you can make, because many countries prohibit the import of foreign tobacco.
However, strictly speaking, Shuangshencao is not considered tobacco, and it can be exported under other names. However, it is still unclear whether it will be included in new controls by some countries.
Although Shuangshencao is not as harmful as traditional tobacco, it is still a spiritual soothing product. If he insists on finding a reason to ban it, he actually doesn't have much to do to stop it.
At that time, we can only promote the advantages of Shuangshencao positively, and it has won the support of more foreign smokers. After all, compared with traditional tobacco, the advantages of Shuangshencao are too obvious.
For smokers who understand the harm of traditional tobacco, it is a very good alternative. It can not only reduce the harm of traditional tobacco to the body, but also repair the physical damage caused by traditional tobacco.
According to relevant news and public opinion reports, Shuangshencao has actually attracted the attention of foreign smokers, but this is only concentrated in the Internet field, and traditional media reports are relatively few.
Because even if Shuangshencao is very good and is a good substitute, due to the monopoly of raw materials, if it enters on a large scale, it will become a commercial competitor for traditional tobacco manufacturers in various countries.
Therefore, it is not impossible for traditional tobacco manufacturers in various countries to ask traditional media to downplay the news about Shuangshencao as much as possible. If it is just like this, it is actually not bad for him.
After all, compared with capital, he is not afraid of capital groups in various countries at all. What he is afraid of is government bans. However, smoking bans are basically a global consensus. It is not yet known how the game will be played by then. (End of chapter)
