Brazil is developing soybean farming, why don t African countries learn from them?

Many parts of African countries are very water-scarce and unsuitable for growing crops, even if they want to.

The main reason is that the geographical environment of African countries is still very different from that of Brazil, so it is not of much use to study.

Because soybeans may not be suitable for the development of our country, and our country has a large population, which is simply not suitable to follow the example of others.

Because China also attaches great importance to mutual benefit and reciprocity in its dealings with African countries, a large amount of soybean demand from China will effectively boost the local economy and provide a large number of jobs, which is also a good opportunity for the local people in Tanzania to improve their living standards.

It's not that they don't want to, it's because the climate doesn't allow it, it's very arid and rainy, so it's not suitable.

There are several reasons for this:

Because of China's accession to the WTO, we must open up most of the markets so that foreign markets can be opened up accordingly. That is, China's accession to the world's leading system.

2. Due to the low cost and high yield of imported soybeans, domestic crushing enterprises (whether foreign enterprises, state-owned enterprises, or private enterprises are called domestic crushing enterprises) buy imported soybeans for more reasons.

Domestic soybeans are more suitable for consumption. Due to the low cost of imported soybeans,Therefore, it is a loss to use domestic soybeans for oil crushing. Because you lose money, it's better to plant something else.

4. Since domestic soybeans can't compete with imported soybeans, can we consider using ** behavior to ban imported soybeans? No, this is a violation of WTO rules, and China does not have enough land to grow soybeans to replace these imported soybeans. In fact, the GMO policy is already a kind of barrier, preventing imported soybeans from extending to edible soybeans.

This is the protection of domestic soybeans.

5. Will the domestic soybean industry collapse in this way? Apparently not. As mentioned earlier, the best way out for domestic soybeans is to eat soybeans because they are non-GMO.

Whether it is done well or not is a matter of the quality of practitioners and a matter of orientation. No industry can be developed by nurture it. This is against the laws of economics.

6. What about China's food security? China's food security is now guaranteed by staple grains, namely rice, wheat and corn. Soybeans are not called grains.

Food security means the bottom line, where a minimum level of caloric intake can be guaranteed under a rationing system. Soybeans represent oil and meat. Perhaps our country has about half of the current population, and we can achieve complete food self-sufficiency.

First: demand, the annual domestic demand for soybeans reached 100 million tons (2018), which is the world's largest soybean consumer, but the domestic production is only about 30 million tons, and the gap reaches nearly 80 million tons (80%) to rely on imports.

Second: the biggest advantage of genetically modified soybeans lies in its yield and cost performance, the yield of traditional soybeans per mu that has not been improved by biotechnology is only 400-500 catties (or a good year, only more than 300 catties in a famine year), and the yield of genetically modified soybeans per mu starts at 800 catties (nearly 1000 catties in a good year), so the cost of traditional soybeans is high, the profit is low (the yield per mu is only 40% of the United States), and the whole traditional soybean, soybeans are at least doubled, which has a great economic burden and is not good for high sales.

Third: the number of domestic cultivated land is in serious shortage, the supply is insufficient, 80 million tons, the yield per mu is 400 catties, 400 million mu of cultivated land is needed to meet (the total amount of cultivated land in the Northeast is only 100 million mu), the red line of 1.8 billion mu of cultivated land in the country, except for the staple grain (rice, millet, wheat, etc.) two-thirds - the staple grain must meet self-sufficiency, the remaining national arable land is only about 600 million mu, all kinds of vegetables, fruits, non-staple grains are planted with land, and the land allocated to soybeans is seriously insufficient—— The state will not and cannot allocate 400 million acres of land to meet soybean self-sufficiency.

In fact, soybeans have been planted in a large area in China, but they can't stand it for domestic people, so they import a large number of soybeans.

The best place in China to grow soybeans, wheat and corn is in the southern Xinjiang, Qinghai, and Gansu areas, as long as they are developed, with an investment of 3 trillion yuan.

Maybe the nutritional value of the land over there is relatively high, so they import it over there.

It is grown domestically, but it is all low-yield non-GMO soybeans, and most of them are exported to Europe! China's soybeans imported from the United States and Brazil are basically genetically modified soybeans, with high yields, disease resistance, and better drought bearing, plus the United States has a very high degree of mechanization, so the cost is much lower than that of Chinese soybeans!

As far as China, the annual demand for soybeans, the domestic simply cannot plant their own to solve the demand, the vast majority of people do not know, soybean is a rotation crop, planting one and three (the country can not completely solve the soybean virus disease), the best way to solve the virus disease is genetically modified soybeans, high quality, high yield.

Why are we going to grow soybeans, we are going to grow rice, we are going to urbanize, and let Brazilians and Americans do the work for us.

Because the suitable climate for the growing conditions of soybeans is not widespread in China, it needs to be imported.

Because foreign soybeans are produced in a large area, the cost is low compared to growing them themselves.

Because the land in the country is built to make money, farmers will not be allowed to farm in the future.

Because soybeans need a good breeding environment, and the cost is high, it is not suitable.

Because it is more difficult for foreign soybeans to meet domestic demand than in China.

The people who farmed the land went to the city to work, and they didn't have to plant anything, and every year there were ...... the United States paid tribute to soybeans and corn, and Thailand and Vietnam paid tribute to rice

The domestic temperature and environment may not be suitable for growing soybeans on a large scale, so they are imported from abroad.

Why do you only use good land to build houses, if you eat good land, will it last long by relying on others, wake up! This resource should not be imported.

Because we don't have that much land area to plant, a lot of land is now being developed for real estate.

Because we want green mountains and clear waters, there are many kinds of trees in Jilin Province.

Because it may be that the soil here is not suitable for growing soybeans, and it is not good for growth.

Because the United States is all drilled soybeans, no one wants green soybeans in China.

Because a large area of arable land in the country has been built into buildings.

It may not be possible to grow these varieties in the country or not suitable for them.

The common people have crossed the river, don't touch the stones.

China's land should be reserved for building houses and roads.

Growing soybeans in the northern rubber region of Brazil has the following disadvantages:

1.Climatic conditions: The climatic conditions in the northern part of Brazil are hotter and drier than in the southern part of the country, which can have a negative impact on the growth of soybeans. In addition, the region is also vulnerable to weather disasters such as storms and droughts.

2.Soil quality: The soil in the region is generally poor, with the exception of the vicinity of river valleys and some specific areas, where the quality of the soil is not very suitable for crop cultivation.

3.Transportation: The relatively poor infrastructure and poor transportation conditions in the northern region of Brazil mean that transportation costs are likely to be higher than in other regions.

4.Market competition: Brazilian soybean production is mainly distributed in the southern regions, which are larger and more competitive, and soybean farmers in the northern region need to face this market pressure. Rush to the side.

With these factors in mind, while the northern region of Brazil has some advantages of growing soybeans (e.g., abundant land resources, longer hours of sunshine, etc.), it may not be as profitable to grow soybeans as in other regions such as the south.

As you should know, China has always been known as an "agricultural powerhouse". As for why there is such a title, everyone must be very clear. Therefore, in recent years, relevant policies have been continuously introduced to adjust the agricultural development mechanism, so that agriculture has been prioritized and China has become the world's largest grain producer.

Of course, with the continuous development of agriculture, there are some problems, take soybeans as an example, in recent years, China has imported a large amount of soybeans from the United States, and does not buy our own soybeans.

First of all, China's imports of soybeans from the United States are considered from two levels: the first policy and the actual domestic demand for soybeans.

Political factors

From a policy point of view, since China's accession to the WTO, it has been restricted by the freedom treaty, and the so-called freedom is generally said to mean that there is no proper reason not to arbitrarily restrict its own domestic imports and exports. Due to the high soybean production in the United States, more subsidies for soybeans in the United States, and low production costs, the export of soybeans in the United States is lower than that in China.

Insufficient production

Gross domestic production cannot meet aggregate consumption, and the benefits of imports are more considerable than those of expanding planting. According to statistics, China's annual soybean output is nearly 15 million tons, but its total annual consumption has reached the scale of more than 100 million tons, the output is not high, and it accounts for a large area of cultivated land.

Now that we've talked about the necessity of soybean imports, let's talk about why we have to import soybeans from the United States. Can't other countries import soybeans?

In fact, Brazil has overtaken the United States to become China's largest importer of soybeans. China doesn't just have to import soybeans from the United States. However, eggs cannot be put in one basket.

A soybean consumer market as large as China's is related to the interests of the entire aquaculture industry. Soybean imports cannot be put in one basket, and separate imports from countries such as the United States and Brazil are a common means internationally.

So, if you don't import soybeans from the U.S., can you transfer U.S. soybean imports to Brazil?

Yes, but the pressure is very high, considering that China already imports more than 50% of Brazil's soybean production. If Brazil were to receive a huge order from the United States, Brazil might only be able to supply it reluctantly. And the risk is relatively high, and it is generally impossible to do this.

All in all, why do such problems occur? Combined with China's own factors, soybean itself is a kind of yield is not very high but needs a large amount of arable land area of the plant, if a lot of financial and material resources are invested, and occupy a large area of arable land for planting soybeans is really worth the loss, the most important thing is that China's output of soybeans is not superior in terms of quality or variety, compared with soybeans, it seems that imports are the most secure and suitable choice after considering all the pros and cons of factors.

Because the domestic climate and land are not suitable for planting this kind of soybean, we have always had to import domestically grown pellets from abroad, which are not very full and not advantageous.

By the question, soybeans belong to the temperate climate crops, while Brazil belongs to the tropics, combined with "near."

In the past 40 to 50 years, the soybean planting area in Brazil has expanded rapidly", which can be speculated to be due to the promotion of scientific and technological celery

Therefore, c
