[Magnificent 70-year struggle new era] Dingxi, Gansu: the "C-position" defense of potatoes

  Cctv news(Reporter Wang Xiaoying) The Memorial Hall for Poverty Alleviation and Development in Dingxi, Gansu Province shows the local history of poverty alleviation and development for nearly 70 years. From solving food and clothing, relief poverty alleviation to precision poverty alleviation and industrial development, potatoes have never been absent.

  In Dingxi, potatoes are a treasure, which can be described as the C position in agricultural products.

  On the one hand, potato staple food has brought development opportunities; On the other hand, in recent years, due to the great fluctuation of agricultural product prices, "potato dealers pay IOUs and collect debts for two or three years". For farmers with poor resistance risks, the price is not guaranteed and the market is problematic. Although growing potatoes is good, it is not as safe as going out to work, and many people are reluctant to grow them.

  Can you keep the C position of the potato? Under the new situation, the "blue sky model" explored a possibility and fought a C-position defense for potatoes.

  Farmers who place orders for farming have confidence.

The local people are laying plastic film.

  Zhang Qian of Lijiahe Village, Xingyuan Township, anding district City, Dingxi City has expanded the scale of potato planting since last year. This year, he plans to plant more than 10 acres of potatoes.

  Zhang Qian has experience in growing potatoes.

  "As early as 10 years ago, a lot of potatoes were planted at home, mainly to sell money," Zhang Qian said. At that time, the price of potatoes was good. Xingyuan Township, where Zhang Qian was located, was a typical cold and humid area with the highest altitude of 2,505 meters and the lowest altitude of 2,000 meters. The potatoes grown locally were large, high-yielding, good-quality, drought-resistant and storable, with an average yield of 3,500 kilograms per mu. It is also one of the important potato planting areas in anding district, Dingxi City.

  Later, the situation changed. Although the yield per mu is high, it is too late to get the money after the potatoes are sold. "The potato dealer has made a white note and will not come back for several years."

  Growing potatoes, Zhang Qian was scared.

  He began to go out to work, but at the age of nearly 50, he couldn’t do a lot of work.

  As a poverty-stricken household in the village, he supported the development of aquaculture, and he began to raise sheep and cattle again, but he never planted potatoes smoothly.

  "Potatoes have been planted all my life and I am very skilled," he said.

  The change took place in 2018. This year, Zhang Qian heard that he could participate in potato order planting, and he bought it directly in cash when he bought it, so he didn’t owe money.

  Zhang Qian has confidence in planting potatoes.

  In 2018, he planted 9 mu of potatoes, including 4 mu of Zhuangshu No.3 (potato variety), with an income of 6,000 yuan. Together with the income from breeding and the income of public welfare post rangers, his family income exceeded 20,000 yuan this year. He also achieved poverty alleviation in this year.

  In April, it was the season for local potatoes to be planted with plastic film to preserve moisture. Zhang Qian said that he would plant several acres of Zhuangshu No.3 this year.

  Like Zhang Qian, many farmers began to expand the scale of potato planting because of contract planting, and the scale of potato planting in Xingyuan Township began to expand gradually.

  Improve the industrial chain, plant and purchase one-stop

  For Xingyuan township, to get rid of poverty and develop, it depends on industry, and potatoes are undoubtedly one of the choices.

  Qi Yaoting, secretary of the Party Committee of Xingyuan Township, introduced Gansu Blue Sky Potato Industry Group in 2018 according to the idea of cultivating a leading industry, choosing a cooperative enterprise, building an order base, innovating a set of development models and establishing a dividend mechanism, and founded Dingxi Xingjiayuan Farmers’ Professional Cooperative Association to improve the order planting industry chain.

  In this industrial chain, United Society, as an "intermediary", has established long-term cooperative relations with upstream potato processing enterprises (Gansu Lantian Potato Industry Group), potato seed enterprises and commercial potato associations, and signed planting orders with downstream cooperatives, large growers and farmers.

  According to the agreement, the United Society and Blue Sky Company signed an order for 6,000 mu of processed potatoes, and the agreement guaranteed that all the potatoes of Zhuangshu No.3 produced by farmers were purchased at the minimum protection price of 0.4 yuan/Jin. Leng Quanzhong, head of the United Society, said that for upstream enterprises, with a high-quality potato planting base, for downstream cooperatives, large growers and farmers, the United society will coordinate the purchase of seed potatoes for planting, and farmers do not have to worry about planting and sales.

The local people cooperated to grow potatoes.

  In 2018, Gansu Lantian Potato Industry Group invested more than 10 million yuan to build a large potato storage cellar covering an area of 2,400 square meters, which led to the establishment of 33 100-ton potato storage cellars in each village.

  At present, there are 24 director-level cooperatives and 18 large growers, including 9 cooperatives led by village cadres and 842 farmers with planting ability, including 560 poor households with established files.

  At the same time, the government encourages farmers to take the form of joint-stock system, joint-stock cooperative system, etc., to take shares in production factors such as land contractual management rights, capital and technology, and form a community of sharing interests and risks with leading enterprises and cooperatives, and attract labor to "work at home" with industrial development, providing seasonal jobs and generating income through employment.

  Blue sky model: let enterprises, farmers and cooperatives blossom happily

  A cooperative like Xingjiayuan Farmers’ Professional Cooperative Association is just one of the cooperative associations of Gansu Lantian Potato Industry Development Co., Ltd..

  "We are in line with the national strategy, based on the great cause of poverty alleviation, focusing on the main business of starch, and constantly accelerating technological upgrading to achieve brand effect." Li Xingze, the current chairman of Blue Sky Company and the post-80s generation, said.

  With the promotion of potato staple food strategy in China, potato industry has brought greater dividends to downstream processing enterprises. Blue Sky Company, with a keen sense of smell, increased its investment and introduced potato varieties with high starch content, which greatly increased its output value.

The local people are planting potatoes.

The local people are planting potatoes.

  He learned from the Danish KMC Group model, took the lead in establishing Gansu Fujingtang Potato Industry Farmers’ Professional Cooperative Union in accordance with the joint-stock cooperation mode, took the initiative to attract poor households and professional cooperatives to share shares, and combined planting cooperatives, agricultural machinery cooperatives, family farms, large growers, farmers and poor households in all aspects of the upstream and downstream, and comprehensively carried out multi-link operations such as potato planting, storage, acquisition and processing, and socialized services such as agricultural materials purchase and sale and agricultural machinery farming. The company’s business format has expanded from the original potato starch production to planting, marketing, service, management and other fields, forming a pattern of integrated development of one or two industries, which not only ensures the supply of raw materials for enterprises, reduces the cost of production, operation and service, but also stably protects the interests of potato farmers and professional cooperatives.

  In the "blue sky model", the company signed purchase and sale contracts with the United Society, the United Society and the cooperative, and the cooperative and the farmers (poor households) to purchase potatoes at a price higher than the average market price, which effectively solved the problems of farmers’ difficulty in selling potatoes and "cheap potatoes hurt farmers", and the enthusiasm of farmers to grow potatoes was greatly improved. Poor households have obtained the joint support from the government, banks, insurance, enterprises, cooperatives and other parties, realizing the combination of "poverty alleviation+wisdom support+ambition support" and forming a stable and reliable income-increasing channel.

  Through this model, the industrial chain of Blue Sky Company can be extended, supplemented and strengthened, and the industry competitiveness and product market share have been enhanced.

  In 2018, the potato starch produced by the company accounted for a quarter of the national market share, and its sales ranked first in the country.

  At present, Blue Sky Company has developed order planting with more than 80 farmers’ professional cooperatives in various towns and villages in anding district, and the cooperatives have signed order contracts with farmers and poor households, which has driven more than 50,000 farmers and 5,000 poor households to develop potato planting, realizing the development of the whole potato industry chain.

  This model has not only strengthened the development of local potato industry, but also revitalized one party’s economy and driven poor households out of poverty.

  The "blue sky model" formed in the potato industry chain also provides a solution to the problems existing in industrial development and industrial poverty alleviation in poor areas. 

  Zhao Zhongwei, secretary of anding district District Committee of Dingxi City, said that to get rid of poverty and develop, we must rely on industrial development. anding district supports existing leading enterprises to further improve the industrial chain and develop and expand industries.

  Locals always express their feelings for potatoes with the phrase "potato blossoms compete with peony". Now, this potato flower is blooming more and more, and potatoes are still in the C position.

Managing finance and stabilizing real estate … China’s economy will do six major things in the second half of the year.

  BEIJING, Beijing, July 28 (Reporter Li Jinlei) China’s economic situation has been stable and improving in the first half of the year. What should China do in the second half of the year? In this regard, the central government has made it clear that it is necessary to adhere to the general tone of striving for progress in stability and focus on six aspects of work, including rectifying financial chaos, stabilizing the real estate market and resolving local debt risks.

  What do you think of the economic situation in the first half of the year?

  — — Steady progress, deepening structural adjustment

  To do a good job in China’s next economic work, we must first accurately judge the current economic situation. The the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting held on July 24th held that the economy operated in a reasonable range, the main indicators were better than expected, urban employment increased steadily, fiscal revenue, corporate profits and residents’ income increased rapidly, and quality and efficiency rebounded.

  "The overall judgment is that the economic situation in the first half of the year was stable and the structural adjustment was deepened." Yang Weimin, deputy director of the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group Office, once again summed up the economic situation in China at the press conference held by the State Council Office on the 27th.

  Behind these judgments is the support of groups of data. The data shows that GDP in the first half of the year increased by 6.9% year-on-year, an increase of 0.2 percentage points over the same period of the previous year, which is the highest value since the fourth quarter of 2015. There were 7.35 million new jobs in urban and rural areas, an increase of 180,000 over the same period of last year. The overall price level remained stable, and the CPI rose by 1.4% year-on-year, which was the same as that in the first quarter. After deducting the price factor, the per capita disposable income of residents actually increased by 7.3%, which continued to be higher than the economic growth rate.

  "Looking at the economic situation depends on both the present and the long-term; It depends on both indicators and expectations; We must see both achievements and problems. " Yang Weimin believes that although the economy is stable and improving in the first half of the year, there are still some problems. For example, the problem of poor circulation in the real economy is still serious, and the task of preventing and resolving financial risks is still arduous. The long-term mechanism for the stable and healthy development of the real estate market has not yet been established, and the pressure of rising enterprise costs is also increasing. In addition, the trend differentiation of regions, industries and enterprises is also intensifying to some extent.

  What’s the keynote for the second half of the year?

  — — act on the general principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability

  Fully affirm the achievements without avoiding the problems. A scientific judgment of China’s economic situation is also the basis for doing a good job in economic work in the second half of the year. In the second half of the year, what is the tone to do?

  In this regard, the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting set the tone: to do a good job in economic work in the second half of the year, we should adhere to the general tone of striving for progress while maintaining stability, better grasp the relationship between stability and progress, balance, opportunity and degree.

  How to understand striving for progress while maintaining stability? Yang Weimin believes that stability is the main tone, that is to say, we should strive for progress on the premise of maintaining overall stability. However, striving for progress in stability is not inaction, not strong stability and mechanical stability, but doing something and working hard on the premise of grasping the degree.

  Yang Weimin also said that it is very important to grasp the balance, the opportunity and the degree while doing something. We should not only prevent blind leaps and bounds, but also prevent timidity and inaction, both to prevent "going too far" and to avoid "not being as good as".

  How to do it in the second half of the year?

  — — Focus on six aspects of work.

  How to carry out economic work in the second half of the year? Yang Weimin said that the central authorities stressed that efforts should be made to do a good job in six aspects in the second half of the year: First, unswervingly deepen the structural reform of the supply side. Second, actively and steadily resolve the accumulated local government debt risks. Third, deepen and solidly rectify financial chaos. Fourth, effectively stabilize the real estate market. Fifth, stabilize foreign investment and private investment. Sixth, attach great importance to the work of people’s livelihood.

  The reporter noted that "deleveraging" in the supply-side structural reform, local debt, financial chaos, real estate market and investment all involve finance, and "keeping the bottom line of systemic financial risks" was also identified as one of the goals of China’s economic work in the second half of the year.

  Wang Zhijun, director of the First Economic Bureau of the Central Financial and Economic Leading Group Office, pointed out that both "black swan" and "grey rhinoceros" may impact the bottom line of financial risks. For the hidden risks of "grey rhinoceros", such as shadow banking, real estate bubble, high leverage of state-owned enterprises, local debts, illegal fund-raising and other issues, it is necessary to find out the situation, distinguish the priorities and the degree of influence, highlight the key points, and take effective measures to properly solve them.

  "In the second half of the year, we should do a good job of deleveraging, because this is the source of risk." Yang Weimin pointed out that the National Financial Work Conference emphasized that deleveraging of state-owned enterprises should be the top priority. If state-owned enterprises deleverage, the leverage of the enterprise sector will definitely decline, and the leverage of the entire national economy will also decline. This is to prevent and control from the source. We can’t let the leverage ratio continue to rise in order to maintain growth.

  Gao Feng, spokesman of the Ministry of Commerce, mentioned at a regular press conference on the 27th that he would continue to do a good job in preventing foreign investment risks with relevant departments to ensure the healthy, standardized and orderly development of foreign investment. For foreign investment in real estate, hotels, cinemas, entertainment, sports clubs and other fields, it is recommended that relevant enterprises make prudent decisions.
