Chapter 211 It must be a major agricultural provinceWhen visiting the Soil Protection Center, Guo Yang had a general understanding of the policy direction. Subsidies for high-quality salt- and alkali-tolerant plant varieties, subsidies for the reclamation and improvement of saline-alkali land, etc. are all within the scope. At the same time, other departments, such as the Department of Agricultural Mechanization, have also increased their investment in forage and agricultural machinery; The Animal Husbandry Department also added some forage policies, which, although far inferior to the later dairy industry revitalization plan, are also beneficial. It should be said that this policy is only beneficial to alfalfa. Guo Yang resisted the urge to call Xie Shijie as it was just past 10 o'clock in the morning. The policy should have just come out, and no one has yet made a specific interpretation of it. When I asked Xie Shijie, he couldn't explain it clearly. While he was thinking, he walked out of the airport, and Luo Xiu followed him with his luggage. Guo Yang thought that it would be better to invite the Soil Conservation Center and other relevant departments to Jiuquan to carry out policy project training. This is also their area of responsibility. Similarly, whether Alfalfa is applying for the project itself or providing follow-up services by selling seeds, it must have talents who understand how agricultural projects are applied for and operated.
Otherwise, if you apply for a project blindly, you will definitely end up in the situation of later generations, where there are overwhelming complaints on the Internet about government subsidies being eaten up by people with connections. Although this situation does exist, most of it has been put into practice. This is what the world's agricultural powerhouses do, and agricultural subsidies account for an important part of farmers' and agricultural companies' income. I got into the car absentmindedly, and the car drove quietly for a while. Old Song, who came to pick him up at the airport, couldn't contain his excitement. It seemed as if a lot had happened in just a few days. "Boss, Hexi Dairy is really strong this time. Recently, our news and publicity are everywhere." Guo Yang suddenly came back to his senses and was startled by Lao Song's sudden voice. But looking at the banners and various signs and slogans that appear from time to time on both sides of the road, one can feel that the influence of Hexi Dairy is increasing locally. It may even surpass alfalfa and Tianhe. After all, this is related to the Olympics. Since 2001, when Samaranch announced that Beijing had won the right to host the 08 Summer Olympics, the whole country was excited. Cheers echoed across the country, everyone’s blood was boiling and they were crying with joy. Now, this Gobi Aerospace City has had a closer contact with the Olympics, which can indeed increase people's sense of honor. As a result, the local government also put in its best efforts to promote the event, and it soon became another social hotspot nearly two months after the return of the Shenzhou VI spacecraft. Guo Yang smiled and said: "When there is an opportunity, we will invite sports stars like Liu Xiang to participate in activities." Old Song laughed loudly, "Good! Good!" Before the Olympics, sports stars were extremely popular. But this Olympics almost exhausted all the enthusiasm of the Chinese people for sporting events, and they no longer feel fresh and excited about subsequent Olympics. Once you have experienced anything, you will naturally have less expectations and excitement.
There was a cold wind outside the car window, there was still some snow on the Gobi Desert, and the lonely weeds were yellow and withered. Guo Yang suddenly said, "Old Song, go check on the seedlings in the greenhouse first." It has been more than three months since we started cultivating Hanhai kenaf and sea buckthorn. Even if they were propagated from seeds, they should have grown a lot! The fact is that it is really good. It can be seen that Xie Shijie and all the staff are managing the place with great care. It is not easy for sea buckthorn seeds to germinate, but the estimated germination rate of this batch reached 98%, and the germination rate of Hanhai hemp is even higher. The growth rate also exceeded expectations. Sea buckthorn is almost 30 centimeters tall. It takes 15-20 days for the seeds to germinate, which is equivalent to a growth of a little over 10 cm per month. Although they are in a greenhouse, the sea buckthorn seedlings mainly grow underground, so they can grow so tall indeed very quickly. As for Hanhai kenaf, Guo Yang suspected that if it were not for the insufficient light in winter, it might have bloomed. He returned to the company with satisfaction, found Xie Shijie, and was just about to praise the boy. Unexpectedly, after entering the door, he took out a big red invitation from his pocket. Guo Yang took it and opened it. "The wedding will be held on January 2006, 01... Xie Shijie and Chen Yuanni are looking forward to your presence." He held back his compliments and grinned, "Congratulations! Congratulations! I'll give you a big red envelope when the time comes." Xie Shijie laughed and said, "Then I'm really looking forward to it." Guo Yang put away the invitation and placed it on the bookshelf beside him. "Have you brought the policy document?" Xie Shijie is currently assigned to rotate in various positions in Muhe, with the intention of training him to become a responsible person. He is also responsible for policy relationship communication. "It has been brought in and has been posted online, but the detailed details have been passed down from the Ministry of Agriculture." “The alfalfa was sent directly from the Ministry of Agriculture.” As he spoke, Xie Shijie handed him a thick volume of printed and bound documents. "so much?" "Well, a complete set of information has been collected from the Cultivation and Protection Center, agricultural machinery, animal husbandry, water conservancy, etc. People from Muhe and the headquarters are now studying it." Guo Yang felt that this was not a solution and said, "We should work with the Provincial Department of Agriculture to invite experts to interpret the policy." "Alfalfa and the headquarters will circle some key points first. The people who are buying seeds should be here soon." After sending Xie Shijie away, Fu Qiuyan from Jiahe Marketing Department came over to report on the Hexi Dairy product launch and advertising production. After finishing his work, Guo Yang had the opportunity to take a quick look at the saline-alkali land improvement policy. There are many aspects involved.
However, the clauses with greater impact can also be briefly summarized. First, the reclamation and improvement of saline-alkali land is encouraged, but the reclamation subsidy is limited to coastal saline-alkali land. Depending on the transfer area, a farmland project subsidy of 100-300 yuan per mu is given. There is also financial loan support at the financial level. At the same time, due to water resource constraints, the development of saline-alkali wasteland in the five northwestern provinces still requires strict approval and there is no transfer subsidy. However, they can also enjoy a series of policy supports such as subsidies for high-quality seeds, improvement of medium and low-yield fields, forage agricultural machinery, and forage processing. Guo Yang also understands this limitation. In the 1980s and 1990s, land reclamation in the western region was encouraged, which resulted in a series of ecological problems. The Tarim River has dried up, desertification has spread rapidly, and oases have disappeared one by one. We do not object to your development in the northwest now, but it requires approval and has fewer policy terms. In comparison, the conditions in coastal saline-alkali land are better, at least the water source is relatively guaranteed, and the economic development speed is also faster. The area is just around million mu. If we can take over these million mu first, it will be a huge victory for the country's arable land and food security. Guo Yang read very quickly. This policy is only formulated at the national level, and there are subsidies at the provincial, municipal and county levels. The central government has paid the money, so it’s impossible for you not to follow suit. When Muhe cooperated with Jiusan Grain and Oil in Dongying to develop a 10-acre organic soybean base, the news spread locally. In order to attract social forces, Dongying will subsidize the transfer fees for the first three years based on the transfer area. For example, how much subsidy is given each year for transferring more than 1000 mu of saline-alkali wasteland? How much subsidy is given per mu for transferring more than 3000 mu? Although the overall policy strength and funding scale are not as strong as the high-standard farmland construction launched in 2012, the strength is still considerable. The most critical point, Alfalfa No. 1 has been incorporated into the technical system for the transformation of wasteland and low-yield fields and is the most important part of the subsidy materials. In other words, when you submit the application materials for acceptance and subsidy, you must include the invoice for purchasing salt-alkali tolerant crop seeds. The only recommended seed is Alfalfa No. 1. There are definitely some stubborn people who want to try other varieties, but society will tell you that the truth is cruel. However, writing in this way also leaves enough room for breeders' imagination. Breeding similar salt- and alkali-tolerant crops can also gain policy favor. By the time I had a general idea of the policy, it was already time for lunch. Dry meal, dry meal! There was an orderly queue in front of the cafeteria. Guo Yang naturally didn't have to queue because Luo Xiu had already prepared meals for him. He saw many familiar faces. After entering December, some people who had been on business trips for a long time also rushed back. When they saw Qu Yang, they motioned for him to go with them. The drop in temperature also makes mutton popular, and Jiahe’s cafeteria is no exception.
The stewed lamb is fragrant, the soup is rich, and the meat is tender, making you salivate. Served with cabbage that is crispy and sweet after being frosted. It is even fresher. Guo Yang and Qu Yang are both not very particular about food, but they both ate to their heart's content. When he had almost finished eating, Guo Yang picked up a piece of super red carrot. "I heard from Yan Qun that merchants from Fujian came to buy super red core seeds but failed to buy any." Qu Yang wiped his mouth with a tissue and said, "That's what happened." "Due to the influence of weather, the production of Sakata seven-inch carrot seeds in the island country has been greatly reduced this year, resulting in a tight supply of seeds." "Many vegetable farmers are waiting for the goods, but they have not received any. The seeds on the black market are too expensive and they dare not buy them." "A friend who is a vegetable farmer planted Super Red Core in the spring and strongly recommended this seed, so customers came to us." Guo Yang thought for a moment, "Has Sakata Nana-sun always been so popular?" "Yes, in coastal areas, the yield of Bantian seven-inch seeds is 20% higher than that of ordinary seeds, and the quality is also good. The product is very popular overseas." "20% higher? Then the super red core production should still have an advantage." Guo Yang put a piece of carrot into his mouth and tasted its flavor. "The quality is also better." Qu Yang didn't understand what the boss wanted to say for a moment, "Are you going to expand into the C-class market?" Guo Yang said: "Not entirely. Tianhe's seed business is still too monotonous, and the performance of vegetable seeds has not been improved." "Come to my office later and sit for a while. Let's talk about the breakthrough direction of vegetable seeds for next year." When he returned from the capital, Guo Yang felt a sense of urgency. The sense of urgency coming from the seed industry. The world's largest vegetable seed company, Synulife Seeds, which he had been talking about a few years ago, was acquired by Monsanto. Prior to this, Seminis Seeds also acquired South Korea's Heungnong and Royal Dutch Seed. Now Monsanto is not only the number one in the seed industry, but also the number one in the vegetable seed industry. Its germplasm resources have once again been enriched, and its current genetic breeding capabilities terrify the world. The ever-changing situation in the world seed industry has left Tianhe Seed with less and less time to break through and gain a foothold in the world. It is almost impossible for Tianhe to become a world-class company relying solely on internal expansion. But after dinner, Qu Yang first brought him a good news, "Boss, the order inquiry for Alfalfa No. 1 has arrived." Guo Yang looked at him in surprise, "The news spread so quickly?" Qu Yang smiled and said, "It was a call from a large agricultural county in Dongying. If the provincial supporting policies had not been finalized, the city and county might have already announced the specific details."
“It also has to be a major agricultural province.” Dongying has millions of acres of saline-alkali land, so the demand for seeds is considerable. (End of this chapter)
