20 18 how to increase farmers' income?

A few days ago, the website of the National Development and Reform Commission announced that the minimum purchase price of wheat (third class) in 20 108 was 50 kg15 yuan, which was 0.03 yuan per catty lower than that in 20 17. Why should it be lowered? Will it affect the enthusiasm of farmers' friends to grow grain?

What is the minimum purchase price policy for wheat?

The minimum purchase price policy of wheat refers to the grain price control policy implemented by the state to protect the interests of farmers and give full play to the role of market mechanism. When the market grain price is lower than the minimum purchase price of wheat determined by the state, the state entrusts grain enterprises that meet certain qualifications to purchase the wheat sold by farmers that meets the quality standards according to the minimum purchase price determined by the state.

Reasons for the first downward adjustment

From 20 14 to 20 17, the minimum purchase price of wheat has been kept at around 1. 18 yuan/kg, and 20 18 is the first reduction since the implementation of the wheat market support policy, for the following reasons:

1. Among the three major grain crops, the market supply and demand of wheat is the most balanced, and there is not much price difference loss.

2. China implements the target price reform for cotton and soybean, and cancels the temporary purchasing and storage policy for rapeseed and corn. Han Jun said at a news conference held by the Ministry of Agriculture that the minimum purchase price of wheat in China will be more flexible in the future, reflecting the changes in market demand.

It has little impact on the farmers who planted wheat this year.

The state is more cautious about the adjustment of the minimum purchase price policy of wheat. The bottom line is that farmers' enthusiasm for growing grain must be protected and their basic income from growing grain must be guaranteed.

Affected by the continuous rainy weather in most parts of China in the early stage, the autumn sowing in the main wheat producing areas of 20 17 was delayed compared with previous years, but up to now, the autumn harvest and wheat sowing in most main wheat producing areas have basically ended, and some areas with early autumn harvest have ended, such as Hubei, Henan and other provinces.

May affect planting retail investors next year.

The new price will not be implemented until next summer's harvest, and the effect of policy adjustment is more reflected in the impact on the wheat market next year. In addition, the downward adjustment is not large, and it is estimated that the impact on the short-term wheat market may be relatively limited. Of course, compared with large growers, it will have a certain impact on farmers who have no mechanized grain growing and no drying and storage equipment, and may lose about 20-30 yuan per mu.

But farmers' friends still have to have confidence. This year, the total output of summer wheat in China is 65.438+0.27 billion tons, and the State Reserve has purchased 7,206 tons, with a total market of 50 million tons of new wheat. It is expected that the new wheat on the market will be exhausted before the end of next month. So the purchase price of wheat market suddenly rose, breaking 3 for the first time. Farmer friends should also have confidence in the price trend of winter wheat next year.
