#农民种地到底挣不挣钱呢? #
For food eaters, farming is their most direct source of food, and their efforts day by day, year after year, ensure that there is never a shortage of food on our table. However, there are also some people who say that farmers do not make much money from farming, or even make a lot of money. This call is undoubtedly of great significance to the broad masses of the people.
Cost of cultivation vs value sold
The production of crops requires a variety of costs such as seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, machinery and equipment, and labor, among which farmers need to take into account many uncertainties such as weather, pests and diseases, and market demand to make investment decisions. If the seeds are not sown correctly, the entire crop will be ruined.
The price of food is determined according to the supply and demand situation in the market, although there is a guarantee from the government, but the price often fluctuates due to the influence of many factors such as weather, international trade and purchasing power. So, does high investment and low returns mean that peasants will not be able to farm and make money? The answer is not so easy.
Reform of the rural land system
In recent years, with the reform of the rural land system, rural households have transferred land to professional cooperatives in the form of leases. This will not only ensure the stable income of farmers, but also enable the land to be used more professionally and effectively.
In addition, farmers also have the right to invest in agricultural enterprises with their own land and participate in the distribution of profits as shareholders. Both of these models can effectively reduce the production risk of rural households, and can effectively improve the production efficiency of rural households, thereby greatly increasing the income of rural households.
Modernization of agriculture
Agricultural modernization is also an important factor in increasing peasants' incomes. With the development of science and technology, biotechnology is more and more widely used in agricultural production, such as hybrid rice, genetically modified crops, etc., so that crops can still obtain a bumper harvest under severe climatic conditions such as drought and drought. The application of agricultural machinery such as seeders, irrigation machines, and harvesters has greatly improved productivity and reduced production costs.
The processing of agricultural products also brings new opportunities for farmers to increase their incomes. Due to factors such as weather, market demand, and transportation conditions, the prices of agricultural products fluctuate greatly. The processed product not only increases the value, but also maintains the stability of the price.
Agro-derived industries
In recent years, agricultural derivatives such as "farm stays", "local specialties" and "eco-tourism" have added new economic growth points for farmers. This new agro-processing industry, which caters to the modern yearning for a idyllic life, is unique and charming, and often attracts a large number of tourists and adds additional income to local farmers.
Agricultural policy
At the same time, the state and local governments have also introduced some agricultural subsidies, preferential loans, and other measures to promote agricultural development, increase peasant incomes, strive to protect peasants' rights and interests, maintain agricultural stability, and promote sustainable agricultural development.
To sum up, we can see that the peasants make money from farming? This is not a problem. However, there is no doubt that with the reform of the rural land system, the modernization of agriculture, the extension of agriculture and the implementation of agricultural policies, peasants' incomes have been significantly improved. However, whether the peasants can continue to make money by their own efforts can only be answered by time.
