Soybean defense war led to debate: whether or not to bet on "genetically modified"

Non-GMO supporters:

â–¡Higher domestic soybean protein content

â–¡ The safety of genetically modified soybeans is in doubt

â–¡ Suggest China to develop high protein edible soybean

GM supporters:

â–¡ High yield of genetically modified soybean

â–¡ High economic efficiency of genetically modified soybeans

â–¡ Domestic soybean production slows up

â–¡China already has the conditions for the development of genetically modified soybeans

Recently, the soybean processing industry in Heilongjiang was severely affected by imported GM soybeans. The domestic soybean oil and soybean meal markets were almost “annihilated”, and genetically modified products accounted for more than half of the soybean processing industry.

While some experts shouted “who will save domestic soybeans”, other experts suggested that the development of genetically modified soybeans is the only way to rejuvenate the Chinese soybean industry.

Can genetically modified soybeans really revitalize the Chinese soybean industry? If the development of genetically modified soybeans, then the traditional soybean growers will go from here? Daily Economic News reporters investigate.

Dilemma, bean farmers

Farmers can hardly enjoy policy benefits

What is the status of domestic soybeans in the “surrounding” of imported GM soybeans?

On May 18, Vice Chairman of the Soybean Association of Heilongjiang Province and Chen Yangui, President of the Soybean Association of Qiqihar City, gave the reporter a series of data comparing the cost and income of a typical local farmer who planted soybeans in 2007 and 2008. Happening. From the data, the reporter found that compared with the net income of 349 yuan per mu in 2007, the farmer lost 11 yuan per mu in 2008.

The cost of land contracting increased, seeds were expensive, and chemical fertilizers rose. The unit price of soybeans did not rise and fell, plus the yield per hectare decreased. Under the influence of multiple factors, it was difficult for soybean farmers to make money naturally.

Chen Yangui said that at present domestic soybeans face the dilemma of both quality and output. After analyzing the reasons, he analyzed: "First, the land is severely compacted. After land is divided into households, most of the farmer's land has not been loosened or turned over deeply; secondly, the soybean seeds are aging, mixed, and mixed and harvested year after year. No one cares about seed breeding and promotion work."

Referring to the country’s domestic soybean purchasing and storage policy this year, Chen Yangui said that most soybean farmers have not benefited from it because the State Reserve’s acquisition requires that the pure grain rate must reach more than 91%. There are clear standards for moisture and impurities, and many farmers The soybeans did not meet the requirements and they did not go to the miscellaneous electric screens. Once they failed the inspection and pulled them back, they also lost money to work and labor, and who also sent them to the National Depository? Therefore, many farmers sell to dealers, at around 1.7 yuan per catty. After the dealers processed the collected soybeans and then sold them to the State Reserve, they could get a “high price” of 1.89 yuan per catty.

Dilemma and Market

Imported soybean long drive straight into

On May 11, the General Administration of Customs issued an early warning that in the first quarter of this year, China’s cumulative soybean imports exceeded 10 million tons, an increase of 30.4% year-on-year, of which Heilongjiang Province's year-on-year increase was 84.5 times. In April, China imported 3.71 million tons of soybeans, a year-on-year increase of 55.2%. At present, genetically modified soya bean oil accounted for 80% of Heilongjiang's market share, and about 90% of the soybean meal market is genetically modified soybean meal.

The large increase in the number of soybean imports is partly due to the fact that the purchase price of the State Reserve Soybeans is higher than the market price and the import price, and a large number of oil refineries are turning to imported soybeans with lower cost of use. According to the soybean market monitoring information released by the Ministry of Agriculture on the 19th, in April, the FOB Gulf FOB price was US$400/ton, equivalent to RMB 2,735/ton, which was 765 yuan/ton lower than the domestic soybean purchase price in Shandong.

In this regard, Meng Li, soybean oil analyst at the Ministry of Agriculture Information Center, said: "At present, China's soybean consumption gap is relatively large, a large number of imports is inevitable."

Professor Tang Zhong of the School of Agriculture and Rural Development at Renmin University of China pointed out that if imported soybeans are replaced with domestically grown soybeans, an additional 100 million mu of planting area will be needed. There is competition between grain and soybeans in China's land area. More land area is reserved for soybeans.

In the difficult times when domestic soybeans did not regress, imported GM soybeans took the opportunity to drive in and quickly seized more than half of the soybean processing market.

Linear Light

We diviided the led light according to the using eviiroment. Most of our product is the commercial LED Lighting

Commercial lighting is a term used to describe lighting that is used in commercial spaces, including auto dealerships, distribution centers, churches, factories, offices, and warehouses. Unlike residential lighting, commercial lighting is made to withstand more abuse and has a longer lifespan.

While the focus of residential lighting is often on aesthetics, commercial lighting is task orientated. Commercial lighting systems are designed based on what the application is. For example, in an office-type setting, you may see task lighting, which illuminates specific areas where employees need concentrated light to be able to perform their jobs.
