"It's too fierce!" On October 30, Chen Qianhong, a major grain grower in Yuanshan Village, Jinshi Town, Santai County, Mianyang City, was busy purchasing urea for next year.
Crops and flowers, all rely on fat to lead the house. At present, it is the critical season of small spring sowing, but this year, the price of agricultural materials has generally risen, as the "grain" of grain - fertilizer has risen the most, urea has risen from about 2,000 yuan per ton last year to more than 3,400 yuan, the average increase of various types of compound fertilizers is 40%-50%, and the increase of ammonium bicarbonate and calcium superphosphate is also more than 12%. On October 27, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs Xiaochun Production and Red Fire Ant Autumn Prevention and Control Video Conference made special arrangements for the rise in the price of agricultural materials and played a "combination fist" to stabilize Xiaochun production.
Emergency dispatch:
There has been no major shortage of fertilizer, and a monitoring point for the price of agricultural materials has been established
"The cost of fertilizer per mu of land alone has increased by about 50 yuan." Chen Qianhong calculated that planting an acre of rapeseed requires the use of 10 kilograms of urea, 40 kilograms of compound fertilizer or rapeseed special fertilizer. This year, he planted more than 700 mu of rapeseed, and the cost of fertilizer in the rapeseed field alone increased by 35,000 yuan.
Why is fertilizer rising so much? "It's related to a variety of factors." According to the relevant person in charge of the Sichuan Provincial Arable Land Quality and Fertilizer Work Station, the price of chemical fertilizer raw materials such as coal, natural gas and sulfur has risen significantly this year, the international price of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers has risen sharply, and the social inventory of chemical fertilizers is at a low level.
How to ensure a stable supply of fertilizer? "Sichuan is a big fertilizer producing province, and half of the fertilizer produced every year can be transferred." According to the relevant person in charge of the Provincial Fertilizer Station, at present, there is no major fertilizer shortage in the province.
In order to do a good job in ensuring the supply and stable price of chemical fertilizers, our province has established an emergency dispatch mechanism for the supply of agricultural materials, on the one hand, to ensure the normal production of fertilizers and other agricultural enterprises, strengthen fertilizer reserves, on the other hand, smooth the transportation and distribution of chemical fertilizers, and smooth the "last kilometer" of agricultural materials going to the countryside. In addition, it is necessary to strengthen price monitoring to prevent fertilizer prices from rising too quickly. "At present, many township agricultural material stores in major areas of the province have set up agricultural material price monitoring points." The relevant person in charge of the Planting Industry and Pesticide and Fertilizer Division of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs was introduced.
"All localities should do a good job in forecasting the demand for agricultural materials, do a good job in adjusting and transferring transportation, and meet the production needs of Xiaochun." The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that it is also necessary to vigorously carry out special rectification actions for agricultural materials and severely crack down on illegal acts such as price gouging and counterfeiting and inferiority in accordance with the law.
Do addition and subtraction:
Promote the substitution of organic fertilizers for chemical fertilizers, and increase subsidies for large grain growers
On October 29, in Xinmin Village, Baocheng Town, QuXian County, Dazhou City, the rapeseed of Jiang Enjun, a major grain grower, had just finished sowing. This year he uses 50 percent less fertilizer per acre of rapeseed.
"There are 300 acres of rapeseed using organic fertilizer, one acre of field with 300 pounds of organic fertilizer, the cost of more than 100 yuan, although the first year of investment is relatively large, but the later can reduce the amount of use." Jiang Enjun introduced that organic fertilizer can improve the soil, cultivate fertility and soil power, and increase grain yield by 10%-20% per mu.
Many places have done "subtraction" in the use of chemical fertilizers. "We advocate the substitution of organic fertilizers for chemical fertilizers, and at the same time promote scientific fertilization technologies such as soil testing and formula fertilization and water and fertilizer integration to farmers, and promote the reduction and efficiency of chemical fertilizers." The relevant person in charge of the Planting Industry and Pesticide and Fertilizer Division of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that this year the province invested 240 million yuan in central financial funds, leveraged 335 million yuan of social funds, and created 24 green planting and breeding circular agriculture pilot counties such as Dayi County and Qu County, and it is expected that the use of chemical fertilizers in the project area can be significantly reduced.
"This year we also expanded 200 acres of rapeseed." Gan Xianyong, a large grain grower in Wangzhu Village, Xinlu Town, Santai County, said that rapeseed seeds are provided free of charge by the government, and that fertilizer is also provided free of charge in the project of "pilot expansion of rapeseed in the rotation fallow system", and the production cost of one mu of rapeseed is saved by more than 100 yuan.
The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that the current grain planting efficiency is low, and it is necessary to increase policy efforts and do a good job in improving efficiency.
This year, our province will continue to promote the "Tianfu Vegetable Oil" action, has launched the fourth round of oil-producing large counties and "Tianfu Vegetable Oil" integrated development demonstration county construction, selected 10 key project counties, 30 general project counties, 10 spring rapeseed project counties, will be given annual financial support of 15 million yuan, 10 million yuan and 3 million yuan for three consecutive years.
At present, the province of more than 30 acres of large grain growers have reached more than 16,000 households, in the past 10 years, the scale of subsidies for large grain growers has increased year by year, but the average subsidy standard per mu is only 27.5 yuan. "In order to guide the enthusiasm of farmers to grow grain, our province will raise the subsidy standard to 80 yuan, so that grain growers can cope with the impact of rising agricultural prices and ensure that grain cultivation has reasonable returns." The relevant person in charge of the Planting Industry and Pesticide and Fertilizer Division of the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said that a plan is currently being formulated and funds will be issued soon.
