Reduce corn planting area: adjust structure and farmers make money

Then, in the process of reducing the corn planting area in the non-dominant area, how to adjust the structure and farmers to make money? Li Changan of the University of International Business and Economics believes that reducing corn planting area is a gradual process. It is necessary to implement cautious operations in accordance with national deployment and rhythm, and must not be too hasty.

Li Chang'an: The “Shovel Bend” area is a key area for China's corn structure adjustment. At present, China is continuously increasing the intensity of agricultural supply side reform, and the corn structure adjustment in the Suihua Bend area is one of the important contents. Last year, the Ministry of Agriculture issued the “Guiding Opinions on the Adjustment of Corn Structure in the “Sickle Bend” Area”, and the “Maize Structure Adjustment Plan (2016-2020)” in the “Shovel Bend” area is also being developed. In accordance with the "Guidance Opinion" plan, we strive to reduce the corn planting in the "Shovel Bend" area by more than 50 million mu by 2020, focusing on the development of silage corn, soybean, economic forest fruit and ecological functional plants. Therefore, in the process of upgrading and upgrading the agricultural structure, we must adhere to the interests of the peasants, and we must not make "one size fits all" at the expense of the interests of the peasants, and do not engage in forced orders. That is to say, when reducing the corn planting area, we must pay attention to the interests of farmers and protect the enthusiasm of farmers. The reduction of corn planting area must be a gradual and gradual process. We must implement cautious operations in accordance with national deployment and rhythm, and must not be too hasty.

Li Changan believes that in order to balance the structure with the farmers to make money, the government must play a leading role, release the correct signal in a timely manner, and rationally guide the farmers to decide how to adjust the planting structure.

Li Changan: Specifically, the first is to combine food restructuring with poverty alleviation. Most of the “sickle-bending” areas are located in remote areas and the economy is underdeveloped. By vigorously adjusting the planting structure and optimizing the varieties, the farmers’ income is increased and the poverty alleviation effect is obvious. Second, we must increase publicity. We should use radio, television, Internet and other media to transfer the important meanings, alternative varieties, and technical paths of the current structure to every household. The third is to strengthen technical training. Only strong technical support for farmers will be adjusted. To choose a lean teacher, go to the village to go to the village to carry out face-to-face training, so that the trained farmers will learn to use. The fourth is to give full play to the decisive role of the market and fully respect the wishes of farmers and the autonomy of management. What kind of planting, what to plant, let the peasants take the initiative, let the peasants decide how to adjust the planting structure based on market prices and comparative benefits.
