In the 60s and 70s, grain bureaus were set up at the county and city levels, grain stations were set up in the streets to supply grain to the people, and the communes belonged to agriculture and had grain management offices. At that time, the Food Bureau was very powerful, and it was responsible for the distribution of grain in the region, as well as the approval of food relations for the non-agricultural population (urban population).

In the sixties and seventies, was it difficult to work in the grain control office?

In the sixties and seventies of the last century and even in the eighties, if you can seek a job in the grain management office, that is, you can jump from the chaff basket to the rice basket, and you can wake up with a smile when you fall asleep.

In the sixties and seventies, it was a good job to be able to work in the grain control office, and it was something that many people could not even think of. At that time, there were few materials, and food was supplied with food stamps, and there were no worries about drought and flood. There are also people who want to go through the back door to buy more fine grains, so what a proud job. Later, after the reform in the 80s, these people had no advantage, and the common people could also operate, and the market was liberalized. So these people are treated in general. Retirement pay is also not very high.

In 1996, after the restructuring of national enterprises. The employees of the grain management institute are the same as the national enterprise restructuring, buy out the length of service, completely decouple from the grain management institute, and all the relationships are transferred to the community (village committee) to become flexible employees, and all social security and medical insurance are paid by themselves. At that time, the staff of the grain management institute should have had a relatively difficult time. In particular, 40.50 workers (40 years old for female employees and 50 years old for male employees), in order to carry out the restructuring smoothly, they are indeed "giving up their small family to take care of everyone", and they have a very hard time.

It has been more than 25 years since the restructuring of the grain management institute. The vast majority of the staff of the grain management institute have retired and retired for the elderly. Because they were self-employed and their incomes were relatively low, many workers only paid social security at a rate of 60%, and their pensions were relatively low. In other words, such former grain management staff are not wealthy.

At that time, materials and commodities were extremely scarce, and the vast majority of people were working hard to survive, and it was very extravagant to be able to eat national grain. However, with the reform and opening up, these departments have basically changed the system, and the vast majority of workers have bought out their seniority or laid off to find their own jobs, objectively speaking, they have made very great sacrifices and contributions to reform and opening up and to the current economic prosperity and development!
