Should grain be stored? How long will China s grain reserves last?

Let's start with the conclusion: proper reserves.

1. Our national reserves of grain are sufficient to cope with the crisis, and there has been a bumper harvest of grain in recent years, even this year. So from the point of view of the state reserve, it is enough. And this thing can't be stored for a long time, and it will spoil if you can't eat it if you store too much.

From the country's point of view, it is best to store grain for the people. It is better to store grain than to store fertile land. Productivity at any time is more important than reserves.

2. From the perspective of individuals and families, a certain amount of food should be stored. You can't save nothing at all, because the country's food is in the country, and you have to eat it when you're hungry, and far water can't quench your thirst. The food we eat does not go directly from the field to the consumer, but there are middlemen in between.

At present, there are still relatively few middlemen in our country, and in some places middlemen can completely use their own means to store grain and not sell it to push up grain prices; if you do not have some grain stocks at home, you will be inflexible in the face of changes in grain prices. Therefore, you must save a little food at home, but don't save too much, just enough to eat for three months to half a year. If you store too much and can't eat, the food can't be stored for a long time, and it will spoil.

3. Before the financial crisis, it is necessary to clear debts and hoard cash. Because cash is the most liquid, you can buy what you need. While the financial crisis itself will devalue cash, it is also better to depreciate cash than to have no money to spend.

If there is indeed a large amount of money that has nowhere to put it, buy short-term treasury bonds, to be precise, Chinese bonds, because at present, China should be the safest asset in the world in the next two or three decades, and my motherland and I cannot be separated for a moment

It is believed that it is necessary, and not only food, but also some necessities in our lives should be stockpiled, of course, not to worry about prices**, but to be able to effectively face the closed community that was temporarily chosen due to the epidemic.

After all, there is still a great risk that the current round of the epidemic will continue to spread, and in order to allow us to live normally, it should be stored.

Grain reserves are related to the security of a country, especially like a country with a large population, if there is no huge grain reserves, and rely on imports alone, then when the international situation changes, when the amount of grain imports cannot be guaranteed, it will be a catastrophe for the country, so food reserves are very important for a country, and it is necessary.

First of all, China's state reserves of all kinds of grain totaled nearly 1 billion tons. If each person eats one pound of grain per day, then China's 1.4 billion people can be guaranteed for at least three yearsFood securityIn rural areas, China's elderly peasant families are basically every household, because they believe in the belief that "the family has surplus food, and the heart does not panic". However, Chinese peasant families still account for the majority of China, so China's grain reserves are not only 11 tons, but even more than 21 tons, and there will be no shortage of grain in China within 6 years.

Secondly, the internationally recognized index of grain reserve ratio is 17 to 18 percent。In other words, if the annual grain consumption reaches 100 million tons, there must be 17 million to 18 million grain reserves. In fact, this indicator is not necessarily scientific, because the amount of food reserves required is different in different situations.

In the case of extreme disaster weather, a reserve ratio of 17% and 18% is not enough. China's current grain reserve rate is 35 to 40 percent. According to China's grain output of 663.84 million tons, the maximum grain reserve is 100 million tons.

Of course, this is also related to the country's long-term implementation of food protection**, and everyone's enthusiasm for food planting is getting higher and higher.

In addition, in fact, from the perspective of China's food market, we can know that the food in the Chinese market is sufficient, and the inventory is also sufficient. Because China's grain is very low, even if the state prohibits grain exports, even some of China's rice can not be imported, at present, China's grain is only about 1 yuan per catty of wheat, less than 1 yuan per catty of corn, and the ** of rice is also per catty. Moreover, the Chinese treasury constantly auctions stored grain to the market, but the volume of transactions.

Very low. <>

China is a large country with a population of 1.4 billion. The demand for food is very high. If there is not enough food, it will directly affect people's food problems.

So, our country's food reserves have always been very sufficient, and this is true at the national level, even from a strategic point of view. Although a large amount of grain is imported from abroad every year, domestic reserves are still abundant. In general, there are not many problems.

You don't need to worry too much.

Food is the foundation of a country, and for a large country, it is essential to have enough food. As far as the population is concerned, as long as there is enough food, the entire economy will not be subject to too much fluctuation, and the population will be able to maintain a stable foundation and continue to grow, until the increase in hunger is greater than the increase in food, and various problems will begin to erupt.

First of all, the importance of national defense. In the event of a war, foreign countries cut off grain imports**, and they can only rely on themselves**.

Secondly, the impact on the stability of the country. Grain is a necessity for the people's survival, and a certain amount of grain reserves plays an important role in stabilizing the people's psychology.

Again, the impact on the national economy. Food is an important economic factor for food and agriculture, and it is also the raw material for many industrial products. Sufficient grain is of great significance to the long-term stable development of the national economy.

The reserve can be guaranteed for 8 months without a grain of grain. However, the whole country will not be completely harvested, and there will also be harvest bureaus that grow grain in various places to celebrate. Therefore, the full gear stove grip can be guaranteed.

Only when one of the following three situations occurs can it be possible to use the ** reserve grainThe first situation is that the supply of grain in the whole country or some areas is obviously in short supply, or the market fluctuates abnormally.

The second situation is that there is a major natural disaster or some emergency that causes the supply of grain to exceed demand, and at this time it is necessary to use the best grain reserves.

Reserve food is like air, we don't usually feel it, but it can come in handy when necessary, and we can't afford to lose it。In the 90s, the state set up a special system to reserve grain, alas, when the grain reserve was first established, the main requirements were two guarantees, first, to ensure that the quantity of grain reserves must be true, and second, the quality must be superior, and it must be used in an emergency. <>

The mode of operation is that there are about 400 direct supplies, and there are almost 1,000 ** reserve grain depots in total, because their own warehouses are limited, so to entrust some state-owned grain enterprises to operate, these stocks are about more than 10,000, but the requirements for each are very strict, if something goes wrong, they will also be pulled into the blacklist, bear the corresponding responsibility. In 08 Wenchuan and freezing rain weather and other factors, China's first grain reserves have played a role in a timely manner. <>

China's policies and guidelines for grain reserves and the inventory structure have been improved, and the pressure on management has been correspondingly reducedThe corresponding person in charge also said that he would not live up to the high expectations of the country and earnestly assume the responsibilities that should be assumed.

The amount of grain in stock is not publicly disclosed on the ** at present, and can generally be used when the market is in short supply, major natural disasters or other emergencies.

** There are tens of billions of grain reserves, which can only be used in the face of huge natural disasters and accidents, resulting in a national famine.

**The amount of grain reserves is huge and can be used in the following situations:

1.The national or some areas are obviously in short supply of grain or the market fluctuates abnormally;

2.In the event of a major natural disaster or other emergency, it is necessary to use the first reserve grain;

As the saying goes, "the people take food as the sky", "people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry." "For a family, each member of the family needs to consume about two kilograms of food every day, so it needs to be constantly replenished to make food supplies. If China's grain is faced with the dilemma of no harvest, how long will China's reserves be enough to eat?

The answer should be at least one year.

In recent years, China's total grain stocks have continued to operate at a high level. In many cities, the market capacity of finished grains, such as rice and flour, is more than 30 days. In addition, the stocks of rice and wheat can meet the market consumption demand for at least one year. ”

This year, after the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, many families began to stock up on grain and hoard large quantities of rice. In fact, after this incident passed, it was found that the practice of hoarding a large amount of food was unnecessary. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the state has carried out macroeconomic regulation and control to ensure that the grain and material reserve departments have strengthened the dispatch of food sources in the market, effectively ensuring market demand.

According to survey data, China's grain output in the past 10 years is about 490 million tons and 530 million tons, and the state grain reserves are about 250 million tons, which is enough for China's 1.4 billion people to survive for more than five months. If the total output is about 770 million tons, then it can fully meet the living consumption of Chinese residents for about 18 months, that is, a year and a half, so China's grain reserves can at least meet the needs of 1.4 billion people for more than one year.

The reserve grain is not to ensure how long it can be eaten, but the reserve grain needs to be replaced every year, because the old grain cannot be eaten, most of the old grain will be used to make wine or make feed, and then the vacated stock will be re-added to the new grain. Our country has a large population base, and the demand for food has correspondingly become very large. Every year, the grain stock must be a little larger, and the total grain stock must be kept running at a high level.

It is enough for the entire population of China to eat for about two years. According to the data, in the past 10 years, China's grain productivity has been between 100 million and 100 million tons, and the national grain reserves are about 100 million tons.

China has a lot of grain reserves, and even if there is no grain harvest in the next two to three years, it can still ensure that the people of the whole country can have food, but no matter how severe the natural disaster is, not a single grain of grain will not grow, and there is basically no need to worry about grain.

According to the current survey, China's grain reserves are enough for the people of the whole country to eat without growing crops for about 10 years.

Reserve grain includes ** reserve grain and local reserve grain, the varieties are mainly rice, flour, corn, etc., which can be maintained for 2-3 years in the country.
